Murtadha Ansari

Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Murtadha al-Ansari al-Tostari (1781–1864; ) known as '''Shaykh al-Ta'ifah''' () was an Arab Islamic scholar who was “generally acknowledged as the most eminent jurist of the time". He is considered to have laid the foundation of modern Shii jurisprudence, and his style has been imitated more than any other classical scholar of Shia Islam.

Ansari has also been called the "first effective" model or ''Marja'' of the Shia or "the first scholar universally recognized as supreme authority in matters of Shii law". Provided by Wikipedia
