'''Ayatollah Mirza Mohammad-Hossein Gharavi Na'ini''' (1276-1355 AH), known as Mirza Na'ini, was a Shia jurist and Marja' al-Taqlid (source of emulation) in the contemporary era (14th century AH) and one of the clerical supporters of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran. The importance of Mirza Na'ini lies in his jurisprudential and principled innovations, and especially in his composition of the treatise [[Tanbih al-Ummah wa Tanzih al-Millah]] (The Admonition to the Nation and the Purification of the Creed), which established the "Jurisprudence of Constitutionalism" (*fiqh al-mashrutah*). | '''Ayatollah Mirza Mohammad-Hossein Gharavi Na'ini''' (in persian: [[:fa:محمدحسین_غروی_نائینی|محمدحسین غروی نائینی]]) (1276-1355 AH), known as Mirza Na'ini, was a Shia jurist and Marja' al-Taqlid (source of emulation) in the contemporary era (14th century AH) and one of the clerical supporters of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran.

The authority of reason and the [[practice of the wise]] (*sirat al-'uqala*), the distinction between religious innovation (*bid'ah*) and novel creation (*badi'*), and the division of rulings into stipulated (*mansus*) and non-stipulated domains are among the intellectual foundations and principles of Mirza Na'ini that had a great impact on the formulation of his ideas. A jurisprudential and principled defense of constitutional government and its indicators such as [[legislation]], the National Consultative Assembly, freedom and [[equality]], [[separation of powers]], and [[majority rule]], as well as the belief in the general guardianship of jurists, are among his ideas in contemporary jurisprudence that influenced the thought of later jurists such as [[Imam Khomeini]]. | The authority of reason and the [[practice of the wise]] (*sirat al-'uqala*), the distinction between religious innovation (*bid'ah*) and novel creation (*badi'*), and the division of rulings into stipulated (*mansus*) and non-stipulated domains are among the intellectual foundations and principles of Mirza Na'ini that had a great impact on the formulation of his ideas.
