Abū al-Qāsim ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Sharīf al-Murtaḍā (Arabic: أبو القاسم علي بن الحسين الشريف المرتضى; 965 - 1044 AD ; 355 - 436 AH),[1] commonly known as Sharīf Murtaḍā or Sayyid Murtaḍā (Murtazā instead of Murtaḍā in non-Arab languages) and also popular as ʿAlam al-Hudā, was an Iraqi scholar and considered one of the greatest Shia scholars of his time.[2] He was one of the students of Shaykh al-Mufīd. His younger brother is al-Sharif al-Radi (Seyyed Razi), the compiler of Nahj al-Balagha. He was four years older than his brother. He lived during the era of Buyid dynasty. It was the golden age of Arabic literature, and great poets Al-Ma'arri were among his contemporaries.
