Abd al-Husain Sharaf al-Din al-Musawi
Allama Abd al-Husain Sharaf ad-Din al-Musawi ( Arabic عبد الحسين شرف الدين الموسوي, DMG ʿAbd al-Ḥusain Šaraf ad-Dīn al-Mūsawī ; born 1872 in al-Kazimiyya ; died 1957 ) was an important Shiite scholar and Ayatollah in Lebanon ( Jabal Amel ). He studied in Iraq in Najaf under Achund Mohammad Kāzem Chorāsāni (1839-1911) and Sayyid Muhammad Kazim Yazdi (1831-1919) and also under Sunni scholars in Egypt . He later worked as the Mufti of Tire (Ṣūr).
al-Murādschaʿāt
His al-Murādschaʿāt ( The Consultation: Dialogue between Sunnis and Shiites ) is an important work in the context of the internal Islamic dialogue between Sunnis and Shiites . It contains parts of an exchange of letters with the Sunni scholar Salim al-Bischri ( Arabic سليم البشري), Sheikh al-Azhar from 1900–1904 and 1909–1916 in Cairo , Egypt .
The Shia expert Sabrina Mervin comments "laconically" in her article about the Shiites in Lebanon in the Encyclopaedia Iranica , but it is very likely that he held the dialogue all by himself:
"It is, however, quite probable that Saraf-al-Din had made up the dialogue all by himself."
Many of his books and articles were lost: "Unfortunately, many of his books and articles were lost when the French burned his library, a fact that he mourned for the rest of his life."
