List of Students of al-Shaykh al-Tusi

One of the most illustrious students of al-Shaykh al-Tusi, al-Muhaqqiq al-Hilli distinguished himself as a formidable jurist and theologian. He is primarily known for his comprehensive works in the field of Shia jurisprudence, particularly his magnum opus, “Sharai’ al-Islam,” which systematically addressed the laws of Islam. His critique of existing legal frameworks and methodical approach laid the groundwork for subsequent generations of Shia scholars, echoing al-Tusi’s emphasis on analytical jurisprudence.

2. Ibn Al-Junayd al-Baghdadi (d. 1019 CE)

While Ibn Al-Junayd was one of al-Tusi’s contemporaries, his interactions with the scholar contributed significantly to his thought. Known for his philosophical insights and mystical approaches, his writings bridged the gap between orthodox Islamic jurisprudence and more esoteric traditions. This synthesized perspective was reflective of al-Tusi’s own teachings, which encouraged mastery of both legal and philosophical discourses.
