Our knowledge abaut the details pertaining to the martyrdom of Shams al-Din Muhammad b. Makki Jizzini ‘Ameli, aka the First Martyr (dead in 786 A.H.) is partially, unclear and contradictory. This has led some scholars to draw on his jurisprudential works and base their assumptions about his martyrdom on controversial parts of his religious opinions. The present article primarily attempts to review the findings of modern scholarships on the issue. Then it shows that probable cause of killing of The First Martyr may be his role in suppressing unorthodox Shiite group in Sham.
