Nur ad-Din Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Hirawi al-Qari (Arabic: نور الدين أبو الحسن علي بن سلطان محمد الهروي القاري; d. 1605/1606), known as Mulla Ali al-Qari (ملا علي القاري) was an Afghan Islamic scholar.

Thereafter, he travelled to Mecca and studied under the scholar Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Hajar al-Haytami Makki, and al-Qari eventually decided to remain in Mecca where he taught, died and was buried.

He is considered in Hanafi circles [1] to be one of the masters of hadith and imams of fiqh, Qur'anic commentary, language, history and tasawwuf.

He also wrote Daw' al-Ma'ali Sharh Bad' al-Amali (Arabic: ضوء المعالي شرح بدء الأمالي), an exposition of Qasida Bad' al-Amali by Siraj al-Din al-Ushi.

[2][5] His most popular work is a collection of prayers (dua), taken from the Quran and the Hadith, called Hizb ul-Azam.
