Tabatabai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tabatabai (also spelled Tabataba'i, Tabatabaee, Tabatabaei) are one of the only few remaining families from the descendants of Hassan ibn Ali, the second imam of Shi'as, populated mostly in Iran/Persia, but also in Iraq and Lebanon.
Many prominent Shi'a theoreticians and leaders trace their roots to this family, including Grand Ayatollah Sayed Muhsin al-Hakim Tabatabai, the worldwide leader of Shia Muslims from 1955 to 1970.
The Persian Allameh Tabatabaei (1892-1981) (علامه سید محمد حسین طباطبائی) was one of the most prominent thinkers of contemporary Shia Islam, and has a prestigious university in Tehran, Iran named after him, Allameh Tabatabaei University.
