Born 1885 CE, died 1948 CE.
Muhammad-Amin al-Imami al-Khu'i (Arabic: محمد أمين الإمامي الخوئي, romanized: Muhammad Amīn al-Imāmī al-Khūʾī), honorifically titled as Sadr al-Islam (Arabic: صدر الإسلام, romanized: Ṣadr-al-Islām; 1885 – June 1948) was an Iranian Ja'fari jurist and writer. An Azeri-Asadi by ancestry, Najafi by birth and Khoei by origin, he was recognized as a first-class mujtahid of Tehran from 1920 to the 1940s, and played an effective role in post-constitutional years. A well-known religious historian and author of many fiqh-related works in Arabic and Persian, however, most have remained as handwritten. In addition, Al-Khu'i was noticed as a book collector and scribe of rare books. He died in Tehran at the age of 63.
