Abd al-A'la al-Sabziwari (1911–1993)

Born 1911 CE, died 1993 CE.

Abd al-A'la al-Musawi al-Sabziwari (Arabic: عبد الأعلى الموسوي السبزواري; Persian: عبدالاعلی موسوی سبزواری) December 21, 1910 – August 16, 1993) was an Iranian-Iraqi Shia marja'. He is regarded as one of the most influential grand religious authorities and he was a contemporary and original successor of Abu al-Qasim Khoei. He was briefly the head of the Najaf seminary after the death of Khoei in 1992. After Sabzawari's death in 1993, there was competition between Ali Sistani and a few other senior jurists, to lead the seminary. It was after the fall of the Ba'athist regime, that Sistani took exclusive control of the marja'iya. He is dubbed a renewer in Quranic exegesis, and this is seen in his notable book Mawahib al-Rahman.
