Early Life and Familial Background
Sayyed Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Musawi Al-Muqarram was born in 1898 in Najaf. His father was most often in Itikaf in Mosque of Kufa, and his mother was famous for reciting Quran. He grew up as he witnessed rawda ceremonies in his grandfather’s house and kept holding rawda sessions in in his own house when he became older. He has a lineage referring to Imam-al-Kazim, and a family of scholars, as a result of which he became a prominent figure in Shia studies, concentrating mainly on lives of Imams.
Al-Muqarram’s Attitude and Lifestyle
He was never looking for wealth or welfare and lived a simple life contently. During his lifetime he received many job offers from Shia authorities of his time, but he believed that to keep the “self” tamed, one shouldn’t make it familiar with wealth and welfare.
His activities were not restricted to religious writings and advice, but he also accompanied scholars in their protest against Pahlavi in Najaf.
This outstanding religious scholar passed away in 1971 in Najaf.
