Ali al-Kourani ( Arabic: علي الكوراني; 22 November 1944 – 19 May 2024) was a Lebanese Shia scholar cleric. He was born in 1944 in Yater (Lebanon) In Jabal Amel, migrating to Najaf, Iraq to study in a hawza in 1958.
In 1967, Grand Ayatollah Muhsin al-Hakim sent him to Kuwait to educate Shia people. [1] He returned to Lebanon in 1974, and established a mosque and a hospital. He lived in Lebanon until 1980. After the Islamic Revolution in Iran, he moved to Qom, Iran. He established the Centre of the Encyclopaedia of Islamic Jurisprudence ( Arabic: معجم فقهى) and the Mustafa Centre for Religious Studies ( Arabic: مرکز المصطفى للدراسات الدینیه) in Qom. [2] [3]
Al-Kourani died from a heart attack in Qom, on 19 May 2024, at the age of 79. [4]
Most of his research in hadiths is focused on Imam Mahdi, his appearance and the circumstances of the world before his coming. In his last years, he was frequently interviewed in Shia communities for providing political analysis of Middle East developments in the light of End Time Hadiths. He believed that according to prophecies the recent events in the Mid-East are a prelude to Imam Mahdi's appearance. For example, he held that the creation of a group which closely resembles ISIS had been prophesied in Shia narrations, particularly in a hadith from Ali ibn Abi Talib. As for Mahdi's utopian government, he stressed that it would be incomparable to existing governments of the world. [5] [6]
He wrote many books, many of them listed below:
