Jamāl ad-Dīn al-Ḥasan bin Yūsuf bin ʿAli ibn al-Muṭahhar al-Ḥillī (Arabic: جمال الدين الحسن بن يوسف الحلي; December 1250 – December 1325), known by the honorific title al-Allāmah al-Ḥillī (Arabic: العلامة الحلي, ”The Sage of Hillah”)[1] was an Iraqi Arab[2] scholar and one of the most influential Twelver Shi'i Muslim authors of all time. He was an expert in Twelver theology, a pioneering mujtahid, as well as the first scholar to be referred to with the title “Ayatullah”. Al-Hurr al-Amili enumerated no less than 67 works by him.[3] He is considered the first scholar to successfully disseminate Shia Islam widely in Persia.
