Muhammad Baqir Majlisi (1627–1698)

Born 1627 CE, died 1698 CE.

Mohammad Baqer Majlesi (c. 1627 – 29 March 1699; Persian: محمد باقر مجلسی), also known as Allamah Majlesi or Majlesi Al-Thani (Majlesi the Second), was a major Iranian Twelver Shi'a Islamic scholar from the Safavid dynasty. He is considered "one of the most powerful and influential Shi'a Ulama of all time," whose "policies and actions reoriented Twelver Shi'ism in the direction that it was to develop from his day on." He was buried next to his father in a family mausoleum located next to the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan.
