{{Answer}}  

Shia scholars have each contributed to the expansion of Shiism in their own way. The growth and spread of Shiism in the contemporary world can be attributed to fourteen centuries of their scholarly and practical efforts. However, the role of some scholars has been more prominent. By understanding the political and social conditions of their time, they utilized various means to spread this school of thought. In the period following the Mongol invasion, figures such as [[Muhaqqiq al-Hilli]], [[Allamah al-Hilli]], and [[Khwaja Nasir al-Din al-Tusi]] can be mentioned. During the [[Safavid]] era, when Shiism was declared the official religion of Iran, [[Muhaqqiq al-Karaki]], [[Allamah Majlisi]], and [[Shaykh Bahai]] played significant roles in spreading Shiism in Iran. In the contemporary period, Ayatollah Borujerdi and [[Imam Khomeini]] also played crucial roles in the global expansion of Shiism.
