“The founders of the Isfahan School are Mir Damad and his contemporaries, including Mir Fenderesky and Sheikh Baha'i . Her students Mulla Sadra , Rajab Ali Tabrizi , Mir Sayyed Ahmad Alavi , Hossein Khansari , Fayyaz Lahidji and Mirza Rafi'e Nayini can be considered the second generation. The second group, in turn, had their own disciples who represent the third generation, including Fayz Kashani , Jamal Khansari , Ghazi Sa'id Qomi , Ismail Khatounababi , Mohammad Sadeq Ardestani , Mulla Hassan Anbani, and Fazel Hindi . The Isfahan school even survived the Afghan attack on Isfahan. The revival through Khajou'i , Bidabadi and Akhound Nouri was not limited to Isfahan, but also began to find followers in other cities, such as Qazvin , Tabriz , Mashhad , Najaf , Qom and Tehran . "
