Sad demise of Ayatullah Mirza Jawad Tabrizi |
|
Grand Ayatullah Mirza Jawad Tabrizi was born in 1926 in Tabriz. After finishing secular school and reaching to the ripe age of eighteen, he entered the theological school in his hometown. Within four years of entering the theological school, he completed the preliminary and intermediate levels of his seminary studies. In the year 1948, he migrated to Qom and finished other lessons at the intermediate levels of his seminary studies. His Eminence then migrated to Najaf and was fortunate enough to benefit from eminent scholars such as the late Ayatollah Sayyid Abul Hadi Shirazi and the late Ayatollah al-Khou'i until he got the degree of Ijtihad. Ayatollah Tabrizi was invited by Ayatollah al-Khou'i to join the Assembly of Consultants, which is an organized group of scholars that responds to the people's questions. His Eminence stayed in Najaf for about twenty-three years, leaving only in the holidays to do propagation in different countries. He later returned to Iran and began teaching Fiqh (jurisprudence) and Usool (principles) in the Islamic seminary of Qom. Those interested in finding out more about the late Marja can visit his official website: http://www.tabrizi.org We request all believers to recite Sura al-Fatiha and to remember the late Marja in Namaz e Wahshat tonight. May Allah grant him a position close to the Ahlul Bayt and may He hasten the reappearance of our our Imam (as). |
