Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, the 13th-century Shi'i philosopher and
scholar, is one of the most controversial Muslim personalities of
his time. His contributions to different fields of learning,
including astronomy, theology and philosophy, won for him the
honorific titles of scholar ("Muhaqiq") and the "Eleventh
Intellect". In Isma'ili circles he was held in the highest esteem
and addressed as "Da'i al-du'at wa khwaja-i ka'inat", chief
propagandist and master of creation. This is al-Tusi's spiritual
autobiography. Although it is not traditionally listed in his
writings, contemporary scholars have no doubts about its
authenticity. In it, al-Tusi recounts his spiritual attraction and
conversion to Isma'ilism. The work of and inquisitive and highly
intelligent mind, the importance of this document lies not only in
al-Tusi's account of his spiritual journey but also in his clear
and vivid elaboration of the Shi'i Isma'ili doctrine of "ta'lim",
or the need for authoritative teaching by the Isma'ili imam.
