The importance of this research lies in its focus on the scholarly and missionary efforts of Sheikh Abdul Karim Saeed Muhammad al-Shahrbazari in serving Islamic sciences in Baghdad. It sheds light on his life and the efforts of scholars in general, and religious scholars in particular, especially Kurdish religious scholars in Baghdad, including Sheikh Abdul Karim Saeed Muhammad al-Shahrbazari, in preserving and disseminating Islamic creed, hadith, and all Islamic sciences. Kurdish scholars have enriched the intellectual and scientific landscape of Baghdad throughout history, actively contributing to the development of Islamic civilization. They excelled in Islamic sciences, linguistics, and history, holding high-ranking positions, particularly during the Abbasid and Ayyubid eras and in our present time. Their works have become valuable curricula, and they have led the teaching in formal schools.
The Kurds participated in the development of Islamic sciences and knowledge, providing living testimonies throughout their glorious history in various fields of knowledge. Their influence is evident in diverse scientific disciplines, and their impact is clearly visible in many schools in Baghdad, Cairo, the Two Holy Mosques (Mecca and Medina), Isfahan, Maragheh, Bitlis, and elsewhere. In Amad, Damascus, Shahrazur, and other Islamic cities, Kurdish scholars made significant contributions and shone brightly in centers of learning. Among them were Imam Majd al-Din Ibn al-Athir al-Jazari, author of "Al-Nihaya fi Gharib al-Hadith wa al-Athar" (The Ultimate Guide to Rare Words in Hadith and Narrations), and Ibn Khallikan, author of "Wafayat al-A'yan" (Biographies of Eminent Men). These and other works are considered great achievements in the service of religion and Islam.
