I realized that I was in the early sixties when I saw him coming out of his house in the locality of al-Huwayyim, where he was going to pray in congregation at the mosque of Imam Ali (p). ), Was permanently inside the Haram in the corridor in the northern part opposite to the door of the Qibla, puts a large carpet in front of him, then back to his knees, and large soil, and was delayed in prayer, and therefore the number of worshipers behind him few.

His house does not exceed 30 square meters in Akkad or a small alley in Najaf inhabited by Imam Khomeini (1988) at the beginning of his visit to Najaf, called (Akd six Moni) and I do not know the origin of the label, Vdara closer to the market and perhaps in the corner of the door A small Sheikh suffers from them when he enters and exits. The Sheikh was tall, huge, with a large white beard filling his face with light, wearing glasses and a large turban indicating his arrival at the stage of ijtihad, and passing through the market and initiating peace to all shop owners.

In the royal era, King Faisal visited him and reached his humble home, which is considered one of the simplest homes. I do not think he has a family or his family in Iran. The king was keen to visit him in that stinking, dirty alley. , The Valnjivion at the time were sensitive to any relationship between scientists and authority, and they calculated the calculation of bad, but the community sees in power as a nerve, and the establishment of the relationship with them means approval of the seriousness, which is still a lot of society believe that, although I see it the idea of \u200b\u200bapologetic.

This is how the society has boycotted it to some extent, and sees propaganda from here and there in accusing him of this or that, but some were avoiding peace on him, but scientifically and degree I have not heard from one place in the chain of references or so, although many see him as a personality High knowledge and science, and he is compared to those who were in his time.

He was one of the first initiators to spread the science of Najaf outside its surroundings in his travels to Damascus, Egypt, Al-Azhar, Palestine, etc. There is a book about that journey. It is said that Taha Hussein (1973) when he was sitting in his lecture did not believe his ears that there is a personage of philosophy and science And was the only hand, and the last hand to accept it. Taha Hussein, the Minister of knowledge in the government of the Vedic in 1950 in Egypt, and the duration of the lecture two hours changed the minds of all the fun of Egypt And Al-Azhar, and opened a large niche between Al-Azhar and Najaf. The events of the visit were written by Muhammad Jawad Mughniyeh, and the Lebanese newspaper Al-Arfan was published about its implications. Muhammad Mustafa al-Maraji, Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Khairuddin al-Zarkali wrote in the fourth part of his book The Flags, and Mr. Rashid Mustafa.

The great mark went to philosophical research, and it was in his imagination to raise the capacity of Najaf and its sciences, including the depth of philosophy, but the philosophy at those times was accused, that the philosophers are the people of sophistication non-realists and perhaps infidels, as is the story of fighting the founder of Shiite philosophy (C. 1955) in philosophy, because the theory of relativity of the big sign and the idea of \u200b\u200b(mass) is philosophical (energy = mass in the speed of light box) ), And there is a lecture for the sign of the Negro at the universities of India in 1936 discusses b A Lahnstein results.

The student of Zanjani (1878-1968) descended from Zanjan (the villages of Turkey) by the great scholars of his time after he emigrated to Najaf and settled there, and then took his lessons by Yazdi the author of the close hand (v 1919), and the sufferer Ahkund Kharasani (v 1911) (1936) and the rest of the leading scholars until he attained the degree of ijtihad by Yazdi.

In those times, Zanjani found that the issue of the complete boycott of power by the Najaf estate following the return of the references from Iran in 1923 had major negative consequences for the future of Shiism in Iraq. He decided to open a channel of communication and keep what he could not engage in quarrels with the monarchy. The king found that Zanjani was a man of moderation and asceticism. He was very, very small and did not accept anyone, neither gift nor rights. He remained in touch with him, as were the rest of the government members who went to Iraq.

He wrote in philosophy and wrote in jurisprudence, and the most important of his treatment is the Canadian philosopher (T 873 AD), a contemporary of the military Imam (874 AD), who issued a book, and in Ibn Sina (T 1007) the great philosopher, Jihad in Palestine and its importance and then its spiritual preparation, then a book in Fiqh Jurisprudence Issues, then the book of ideals in Islam.

The Grand Sheikh walked alone when he went to the shrine and returned alone, and there is no one to accompany him as they are the rest, denied by Najaf, and found it represents an abnormal plant is inconsistent with the atmosphere at the time.

The deceased died in his house in the market of Al-Huweish, and I hope the Najafis to visit that house. He is still there, and he is still in a dark wet grubby alley. He died a poor man who had nothing of the wreckage of the world in 1968 and was buried in the Holy Ark. As I remember, it was summer and before I left for Baghdad to join the university, and it happened two months after the Baath came to power. I do not remember very much how the funeral was and where it was opened.

My knowledge of him was in the early sixties, and at the time he was perhaps over eighty, as he lived in front of a shop owned by my uncle in the market of Hweih, and when he was on his way to prayer my uncle's uncle himself, I said at the time I want to visit Nkia deny my uncle one day
