The Brethren of Purity (Ikhwān al-Ṣafāʾ) were the anonymous members of a fourth-/tenth-century esoteric fraternity of lettered urbanites. It was principally based in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, while also having a significant active branch in the capital of the ʿAbbāsid caliphate, Baghdad.

This secretive coterie occupied a prominent station in the history of scientific and philosophical ideas in Islam owing to the wide intellectual reception and dissemination of diverse manuscripts of their famed philosophically oriented compendium, the Epistles of the Brethren of Purity (Rasāʾil Ikhwān al-Ṣafāʾ).

The exact dating of this corpus, the identity of its authors, and their doctrinal affiliation remain unsettled questions that are hitherto shrouded with mystery.
