Ali al-Kourani (Arabic: علي الكوراني; 22 November 1944 – 19 May 2024) was a Lebanese Shia scholar cleric.

He was born in 1944 in Yater (Lebanon) In Jabal Amel, migrating to Najaf, Iraq to study in a hawza in 1958.

[4] Most of his research in hadiths is focused on Imam Mahdi, his appearance and the circumstances of the world before his coming.

In his last years, he was frequently interviewed in Shia communities for providing political analysis of Middle East developments in the light of End Time Hadiths.

For example, he held that the creation of a group which closely resembles ISIS had been prophesied in Shia narrations, particularly in a hadith from Ali ibn Abi Talib.
