ali al-qari

nur ad-din abu al-hasan ali ibn sultan muhammad al-hirawi al-qari -lrb- ; d. 1605/1606 -rrb- , known as mulla ali al-qari -lrb- -rrb- was an islamic scholar .
he was born in herat , where he received his basic islamic education .
thereafter , he travelled to makkah al-mukarramah and studied under the 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 buried .
he is considered in hanafi circles to be one of the masters of hadith and imams of fiqh , qur ` anic commentary , language , history and tasawwuf .
he was a hafiz -lrb- memorizer of the koran -rrb- and a famous calligrapher who wrote a koran every year .
al-qari wrote several books , including the commentary al-mirqat on mishkat al-masabih in several volumes , a two-volume commentary on qadi ayyad 's ash-shifa , a commentary on the shama'il al-tirmidhi , and a two-volume commentary on al-ghazali 's abridgment of the ihya entitled ` ayn al - ` ilm wa zayn al-hilm -lrb- the spring of knowledge and the adornment of understanding -rrb- .
he also wrote tohfat al-a ` ali sharh bad ' al-amali , an exposition of qasida bad ` ul amali .
his most popular work is a collection of prayers -lrb- dua -rrb- , taken from the koran and the hadith , called hizb-ul-azam .
the collection is divided into seven chapters , giving one chapter for each day of the week .
this work is sometimes found in a collection with the dalail al-khayrat .
