Abdul-Qadir Maraghi was an Turkish prominent scientist and musician. Abdul-Qadir b. GHaybi al-Hafiz al-Maraghi was born in Maragha (South Azerbaijan, Iran) in about the middle of the 14th century. He is one of the significant descendants of Safi al-Din Urmavi (1216 A.D Urmia, 1294 A.D.) He disclosed the essence of Urmavis theory in his book "Sharh al-Advar". Being a real follower of Urmavi, Maraghi was not a "blind" imitator of his books. Basing his work on the theory of his genius predecessor, he developed and completed the system of 6 avazes and 12 makams by adding another modes group -- 24 shubes. In his treatises Maraghi "disputes" with Qutbaddin Shirazi (13 century) and supports the ideas of Urmavi on some theoretical issues.
