Agha Hossein Khansari (Persian: آقا حسین خوانساری), full name Hossein ibn Jamal al-Din Mohammad Khansari (Persian: حسین بن جمال الدین محمد خوانساری), known as Mohaghegh Khansari (Persian: محقق خوانساری) and also known as "Master of all in all" (Arabic: استاد الکلّ فی الکلّ),[1] who was nicknamed "the disciple of mankind" (Arabic: تلمیذ البشر) because of the many masters he acquired knowledge in their presence, was one of the great Iranian jurists of Isfahan jurisprudential school (born in 1607 in Khansar, died in 1687 in Isfahan) in the 11th century AH, who was also engaged in philosophy and wisdom. He was one of the high level scholars during the reign of Sultan Suleiman of the Safavid dynasty and after the death of Mir Seyyed Mohammad Masoom in 1683, he became the Shaykh al-Islām of Isfahan.[2][3] His children are Jamaluddin Mohammad known as Agha Jamal Khansari and Raziauddin Mohammad known as Agha Razi Khansari.[4]

Life and educations[]

Islamic Manuscript (a poem) by Agha Hosein Khansari

Agha Hossein Khansari was born on 1607 in Khansar, Iran. Before reaching the age of puberty, Agha Hossein went to Isfahan to study Islamic sciences and studied at Khajeh Molk School of Isfahan Seminary. In Isfahan, he used the presence of many professors and for this reason he called himself "the disciple of mankind" which refers to the multiplicity of his professors.[2][3]

He studied the rational sciences under the tutelage of Mir Fendereski and the traditional sciences under the tutelage of , Khalifeh Soltan, Mohammad Bagher Sabzevari, and ... . Agha Hossein Khansari had important permits in review and issuance of Islamic scientific content, including the permission of about 20 pages from Mohammad Taghi Majlesi. Although he was afflicted with poverty during his studies, he eventually reached the point where Shah Suleiman entrusted him with the position of viceroy and overseer on the monarchy and the care of state affairs. He was proficient in rational and traditional sciences and, according to Mirza Abdollah Afandi Isfahani, was a "supporter of the scholars."[5]

From the point of view of others[]

Ali Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of Iran, has said about the Khansari family:[6][7]

"Undoubtedly, in the list of these often unknown stars in the sky of science and culture, the great family of Khansari, especially the prominent and unique researcher, the late Agha Hossein Khansari and his son, the wise and honorable Faqih, the late Agha Jamal Khansari. In the greatness and dignity of the late Agha Hossein Khansari, it is enough that great scholars such as Vahid Behbahani and Sheikh Ansari have mentioned him with the titles of "researcher" and "master of all in all" and the like. He and his son were sages, jurists, fundamentalists, theologians, mathematicians, Hadith narrators, and writers, and they made a great contribution to the flourishing and prosperity of the cultural and scientific field of Isfahan in the middle and late Safavid period. Although some of their jurisprudential works have been used by scholars, their collection of works has never been available to Islamic scholars in an acceptable manner."

— Congress in honor of researchers, Agha Hossein, Agha Jamal and Agha Razi Khansari (September 20, 1999)

Morteza Motahhari, has said about Agha Hossein Khansari:[8]

"Agha Hossein Khansari, known as Mohaghegh Khansari, was brought up in the school of Isfahan and had comprehensive knowledge in rational and traditional sciences. His famous book in Fiqh is called "Mashareq al-Shomoos", which is a description on the book of "Al-Doroos" of Shahid Awwal."

— Understanding Islamic Sciences (1979)

Political and social activity[]

Agha Hossein Khansari had a special place in the government of Shah Suleiman, so that when the Shah traveled, he asked Agha Hossein Khansari to run the government affairs as his viceroy; And Agha Hossein Khansari had accepted.[9]

Another prominent feature of Agha Hossein Khansari was his refuge for the poor and helpless, and he made great efforts to meet the needs of the people.[10]
