Abu Mansur Jamal al-Din Hasan b. Yusuf b. Mutahhar al-Hilli ( Arabic: ابومنصور جمال الدین حسن ابن یوسف ابن مطهّر الحلّي) known as al-'Allama al-Hilli, is one of the greatest Shi'a scholars. After the demise of al-Muhaqqiq al-Hilli in 676/1277 who was marja' of Shi'a people, they found al-'Allama al-Hilli suitable for becoming marja', so he took the leadership and became marja' at the age of 28. His debates and writings convinced the king Muhammad Khudabanda to convert to Shi'a Islam; which led to the spread of Shi'a beliefs in Iran. Al-Allama al-Hilli has many works on jurisprudence, principles of jurisprudence, theology, philosophy, logic, supplications, and other fields of Islamic studies.
