The second martyr, (Arabic: ash-Sahid-e-Thani الشهيد الثاني ), is Zayneddine al-Juba'i al'Ameli Poulin (Arabic: زين الدين الجبعى العاملى). He was born in 13 Shawwal 911 A.H. in Jubba' (Arabic: جبع )what is now known as (Arabic: جباع) Jubah', Lebanon. He is one of the greatest shi'a scholars. He studied under famous Sunni and Shi'a in Jabal 'Amel, Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem among many others. He was known and respected by sunnis in Baalabeck for this. He was authorized to teach Muslims in the Nouriyah Islamic school according to the five schools of thought. He became a Mujtahid at age 33 after his isits to Iraq. Since Ijtihad was forbidden and Shi'ism had a history of persecution in the area, especially that shi'ism was still strong among the people as a result of the not-so-long gone Hamdanid dynasty, some poeple conspired against him due to petty reasons before being judged in front of the Sultan. In Rajab of 965 A.H., he was beheaded on his way to see the sultan and a shrine was built by some Turkmens on the site as they realised his stature. The person that beheaded him was killed by the Sultan orders. One of his greatest work is the first interpretation of The Damascene Glitter by Shahid Awwal called The Beautiful Garden in Interpreting the Damscene Glitter (Arabic: ar-Rawda-l-Bahiyah fi Sharh allam'a-d-Dimashqiya الروضة البهيّة في شرح اللمعة الدمشقيّة ) in few volumes.
