Amin al-Shariah Sabzevari (Persian: امین الشریعه), borne in Sabzevar and died in 1937 in Ghorgan[1]. He was a distinguished theologian, jurist, lecturer, writer and poet in Iran during the late Qajar and early Pahlavi eras.
Sabzevari was granted the title and office of Amin al-Shariah meaning the Custodian of sharia't (Islamic law) from the Qajar King of Iran Mozaffaruddin Shah in 1894. Nevertheless,he later joined the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 and campaigned for democracy which eventually resulted in the end of absolute monarchy and the establishment of the rule of law. Due to his pro-democracy campaign, he was sent to exile by the anti- Constitution successor of the late Shah of Iran namely Mohammad Ali Shah from Khorasan to the city of Ghorgan in Gholestan Province where he continued his campaign in association with a local Constitutionalist clergy Mohammad Hossein Esterabadi. In 1909 his host and fellow Constitutionalist activist Rahim Khan Maghsoudloo was killed by the Torkemans backing the exiled Mohammad Ali Shah. This is reported by Sir George Berkeley the British Ambassador to Iran to Her Majesty's Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey in a report dated 22 April 1909[2].
Amin al-Shariah has written many books including Akhlaq Amin on Islamic and Iranian Ethics. He also composed in verse the philosophical allegory of Salaman and Absal in verse[3].
