Sayyid 'Ali Qadi Tabataba'i: Difference between revisions

He taught [[mysticism]], [[ethics]], and self-purification to a large number of students among whom brilliant scholars emerged. His classes usually were private and confidential. He had a room in the [[Indian masjid|Indian school]] where his students visited him. Many scholars and Islamic authorities have been Qadi's spiritual disciples, the most important of whom are:

* [[Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i]]; he was of Qadi's relatives and was known as Qadi, but later, he called himself Tabataba'i out of respect for his teacher. His brother, [[Sayyid Muhammad Hasan Ilahi]], [['Abbas Hatif Quchani]], and he were Qadi's students for thirteen years.

* [[Al-Sayyid Hashim al-Haddad|Al-Sayyid Hashim Musawi al-Haddad]]; he was Qadi's student for 28 years and about whom his teacher once said that he had understood and received the Unity of God so well in his heart that it would be impossible to be damaged.

* [[Sayyid Hasan Isfahani Masqati]]; he taught ''[[Shifa]]'' and ''[[Asfar]]'' in [[Najaf]]. On [[Sayyid Abu l-Hasan Isfahani]]'s order, the Islamic authority of that time, and on the advice of Qadi, his teacher, he immigrated, perforce, from Najaf to [[Masqat]].

* [[Sayyid Abu l-Qasim al-Khoei|Sayyid Abu l-Qasim al-Khoei]]; he carried out his teacher's instructions and experienced a (visionary) unveiling through which he saw his future teaching and becoming an Islamic authority.
