Mirza Mohammad Ali, now known as Saeb Tabrizi, was born around 970 in the city of Isfahan at the end of the first millennium AH.
He belonged to a family of Tabriz merchants who, on the orders of King Abbas I of Safavid, migrated from Tabriz to Isfahan, residing in the Abbas Abad neighborhood of that city, whose inhabitants were mostly Tabrizi immigrants.
Mirza Mohammed Ali graduated from Isfahan and began his pilgrimage as a youth, from there to Mashhad, from there to Herat, Kabul, and India, spending most of his middle age in India.
He returned to Iran in the middle of the first century of the second millennium around 1040 and settled in Isfahan and was nicknamed the Ash'arite king by King Abbas II of Safavid.
