Ali ibn Sultan al-Qari, Mullah 'Ali al-Qari (Arabic: علي بن سلطان محمد القاري , الملا علي القاري ) (d.1014/1605) was an Islamic scholar.
He was born in Herat, Iran, where he received his basic Islamic education. Thereafter, he travelled to Makkah al-Mukarramah and studied under the celebrated scholar Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Hajar al-Haytami Makki, and al-Qari eventually decided to remain in Makkah al-Mukarramah where he taught, died and was laid to rest.
He is known amongst Hanafi circles [1] as one of the masters of hadith and Imams of fiqh, Qur'anic commentary, language, history and tasawwuf.
Al-Qari has authored several books such as the commentary al-Mirqat on Mishkat al-Masabih in several volumes, a two-volume commentary on Qadi Ayyad's Ash-Shifa [3] , and a two-volume commentary on Al-Ghazali's abridgment of the Ihya entitled `Ayn al-`ilm wa zayn al-hilm (The spring of knowledge and the adornment of understanding). He has also written Tohfat al-A'ali Sharh bad' al-Amali, an exposition of Qasida Bad'ul Amali [4]. [2]
