Zayn al-Dīn al-Juba'ī al'Amilī (Arabic: زين الدين الجبعي العاملي; 1506-1559), also known as ash-Shahīd ath-Thanī (Arabic: الشهيد الثاني, ʾash-Shahīd ath-Thānī, lit. 'The Second Martyr') was a Twelver Shia Muslim scholar.
Early life
[edit]He was born Zayn al-Dīn bin Nur al-Dīn 'Alī bin Aḥmad bin Muḥammad bin 'Alī bin Jamal al-Dīn bin Taqī bin Sāliḥ bin Mushrif al-'Amilī al-Shamī al-Ṭalluṣī al-Juba'ī, in the village of Jbaa, on the 13th of Shawwal, 911 AH (1506 CE). His father, Sheikh Nur al-Din 'Ali was also a scholar.
His ancestor, Sāliḥ, was a student of Allamah al-Hilli.
Career and travels
[edit]Thani studied under both Sunni and Shi'a scholars in Jabal 'Amel, Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem.
In 1536, he moved to Egypt, where he learned Usul al-Fiqh, geometry, prosody, medicine and logic.[1]
In 1543, he traveled to Constantinople and met with Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Qāḍī Zāda al-Rūmī, with whom he shared multiple treatises relating to several subjects, including mathematics, astronomy and religion. The latter offered him the highest teaching position in a school of his choice, which was eventually the Nuriyya School of Baalbek.[2]
Death
[edit]In Rajab of 965 A.H. (1558), he was beheaded on his way to see the sultan and a shrine was built by some Turkmens on the site.
Legacy
[edit]His Magnum opus is the first commentary of The Damascene Glitter by Shahid Awwal called The Beautiful Garden in Interpreting the Damscene Glitter (Arabic: ar-Rawda-l-Bahiyah fi Sharh allam'a-d-Dimashqiya الروضة البهيّة في شرح اللمعة الدمشقيّة ).
