Aqa Jamal was a son of Aqa Husayn al-Khwansari and a scholar from the Khwansari family whose lineage traces back to [[Imam al-Kazim (a)]]. His birth date is not known, but since Afandi mentioned that his father stayed in [[Isfahan]], probably he was born in Isfahan. According to Nasrabadi and Khwansari, Aqa Husayn migrated to Isfahan before his maturity. His name was Muhammad, but he was known as Aqa Jamal. [['Abd Allah Mamaqani]] took his year of death to be 1121/1709, but it does not seem right. He was buried in his father’s mausoleum—built by [[Shah Sulayman al-Safawi]] in [[Takht-i Fulad Cemetery]] of Isfahan. | Aqa Jamal was a son of Aqa Husayn al-Khwansari and a scholar from the Khwansari family whose lineage traces back to [[Imam al-Kazim (a)]].

He is said to have had a [[permission to narrate hadith]]s from Mulla Muhammad Taqi Majlisi. [[Al-Muhaqqiq al-Ardabili]] considered him as a prominent narrator of [[fiqh]] (the Islamic jurisprudence).

Aqa Jamal wrote some work, some of which were published and almost all of them are available in libraries (in [[Iran]] or outside Iran). His most popular book is ''[[Kulthum nana]]'' or '' 'Aqa'id al-nisa' '' . This is a humoristic book that criticizes laypeople’s approach to religiosity or piety and in particular women's ill-founded religious beliefs in the [[Safavid]] period. The book counts as the oldest written document concerning the moral codes, manners and conducts of Iranian laywomen in that period. The book was written in order to combat superstitious beliefs. It has been translated into English, French and Turkish. | Aqa Jamal wrote some work, some of which were published and almost all of them are available in libraries (in [[Iran]] or outside Iran).

Aqa Jamal was highly respected by the [[Safavid]] kings. Concerning his relationships with the Safavid government, mention could be made of his attendance in [[Sultan Husayn al-Safawi]]'s enthroning ceremony, his advising the king to select the appropriate person for the position of [[Shaykh al-Islam]] in Isfahan in 1115/1703 leading to the selection of [[Mir Muhammad Salih Khatunabadi]], his accompanying Sultan Husayn, together with Muhammad Baqir Khatunabadi, in his travel to [[Mashhad]] in 1119/1707, and receiving a robe from the king in 1120/1708. He also worked as a judge for a while and said prayers for the corpse of [[al-'Allama al-Majlisi]]. | Aqa Jamal was highly respected by the [[Safavid]] kings.

Because of his extensive knowledge and his power to express scholarly issues without any complexity, some Safavid kings asked him to translate or explain some Arabic books to them. And they sometimes asked him some questions in [[fiqh]] and Islamic beliefs, and in reply to them he wrote some short essays. His essays on [[khums]] and visiting the graves are cases in point. | Because of his extensive knowledge and his power to express scholarly issues without any complexity, some Safavid kings asked him to translate or explain some Arabic books to them.
