About Mulla `Ali al-Qari (d. 1014) :
One of the great
Hanafi masters of
hadith and Imam's of
fiqh, Qur'anic commentary, language, history and
tasawwuf. He was born in Herat, Iran, where he received his basic Islamic education. Thereafter, he travelled to Makkah al-Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia, and studied under the celebrated scholar Shaykh Ahmad ibn Hajar Haythami Makki,
rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi.
He authored several great commentaries such as
al-Mirqat on
Mishkat al-masabih in several volumes, a two-volume commentary on Qadi `Iyad's
al-Shifa', and a two-volume commentary on Imam al-Ghazali's abridgment of the
Ihya entitled
`Ayn al-`ilm wa zayn al-hilm (The spring of knowledge and the adornment of understanding). His book of prophetic invocations,
al-Hizb al-a`zam (The supreme daily
dhikr) forms the basis of Imam al-Jazuli's celebrated manual of
dhikr,
Dala'il al-khayrat, which along with the Qur'an is recited daily by many pious Muslims around the world.
