He succeeded his father Idris Imad al-Din in 1468, and held the post until his death in 1512, when he was succeeded by his brother al-Husayn Husam al-Din.[1][2] Syedna Al-Hasan encouraged education and bestowed great favors on his students. He used to shower special attention on anyone who came from India.
