Al-Amir al-Sayyid Jamal al-Din 'Abdalla al-Tanukhi (May 1417 - September 1479) was a Druze theologian and commentator. He has been described as "the most deeply revered individual in Druze history after the hudud who founded and propagated the faith".[1] His tomb in Lebanon is a site of pilgrimage for the Druze.[2]
