Mohammad Bagher Shafti (1761–1844)

Born 1761 CE, died 1844 CE.

Mohammad Bagher Shafti (Persian: محمدباقر شفتی; 1767 in Shaft – 22 March 1844 in Isfahan), was an Iranian Twelver Shia cleric. The Seyyed mosque in Isfahan was built by him. According to Hossein Nasr and Hamid Dabashi, he is probably the first clergyman to be given the title Hojatoleslam (from Arabic: حجة الإسلام, romanized: ḥujjat al-islām). This title was bestowed upon him in recognition of his double role as both Qadi and Mufti, as well as his book about the implementation of Sharia.
