Emir "Amir", meaning "Lord" or "commander-in-chief", is derived from the Arabic root "a-m-r ", "command". Originally simply meaning commander-in-chief or leader, usually in reference to a group of people, it came to be used as a title for governors or rulers, usually in smaller states, and in modern Arabic is analogous to the English word "prince". The word entered English in 1593, from the French "émir". It was one of the titles or names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Ali Ibn Ibrahim Qomi Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Ibrāhim al-Qummi was a 10th century Shi'a commentator and jurist of Persian origin. He lived during the time of the eleventh Shi'a Imam Hasan al-Askari. Many traditions in the famous book Al-Kafi were transmitted by him. Ibrāhim’s patronymic was “Abu al-Hasan” but he was also known as “al-Shaykh al-Aqdam”. He was the first to promulgate the “Kufan” traditions (Hadiths) in Qom and collected Hadith from many scholars. He wrote more than 15 books, famously his commentary "Tafsir al-Qummi". He is said to have been one of the most important Imami Quran commentators. His other works include "Akhbār Al-Quran", "Nawadir al-Qur'an", "al-Nasikh wa al-Mansukh"(Abrogator and Abrogated books), "al-Sharā'i' " (Laws or revealed religions), and "al-Tawhid wa al-shirk" (Oneness of God and Polytheism). He died in 919 A.D.
