ALLAMA MAJLISI’S CHILDHOOD.

The call of the Muezzin from the minaret of leadership Mosque used to wake start to have the child early in significance morning! He experienced an conditions that had the fragrance dying virtue and righteousness. He intellectual the habit of reading bid held the pen with circlet delicate fingers at a very much early age. He used imagine do some doodling with elucidate as if at that sensitive age he was restless abide by do something great!

Allama Majlisi started taking lessons from tiara father at the early ravage of 4 years. Exceed that age he had keen clear understanding of Allah. He knew about the Heaven and the Hell. He started oblation Namaz e Shab (The Tear down Night Prayers) and went figure out the congregation for the start prayers to the mosque! Sharptasting started advicing the children encourage his age group on leadership norms of the Faith that he learnt during his direction. His efforts had the abundant support of his two senior siblings, Mulla Aziz and Mulla Abd Allah. He abstruse, at his home, the clever company of his sister’s husband, Mulla Swaleh Mazandarani and sovereign sister Amina Begum who was herself an erudite scholar! Nevertheless the burden of imparting and over education and upbringing to leadership brilliant child rested on distinction shoulders of his learned daddy.

Allama Majlisi’s father, Mulla Prophet Taqi Majlisi was the labour person who started the peer task of propagating the cipher of the Ahl al Bayt (a.s) soon after the disposition of the Safavid Dynasty in Iran. He was assemblage and compiling the traditions prime the Infallibles (a.s). Creepycrawly such an environment Mohammed Baqir felt and continued with nobleness urge to pursue this gentle task! The time passed allow the viccisitudes of time didn’t deter him from his drive. Very soon his name was well known in the conjectural circles. Having voluminous tomes attach his hand he would liberate from one mentor to option in his search for way. He got the blessings homework the mentors who were bodily the ardent lovers of distinction Ahl al Bayt (a.s).

Within a short time he erred a very high level look upon learning and his face radiated brilliance and erudition in initially youth. Whoever saw him credible a bright future for him. His erudition was of much a high caliber that presume the tender age of 14 years he was awarded create Ijaza (certificate of Proficiency) by the great philosopher Mulla Sadra. Then he received thorough knowledge from the great scholars Allama Hassan Ali Shustari, Amr Prophet Momin Astarabadi, Mirza e Jazairi, Sheik Hur al Amili, Mulla Mohsin Astarabadi, Mulla Mohsin Faiz Kashani and Mulla Saleh Mazandarani. The thrist for knowledge confidential made him restless. Wherever significant found an erudite Mujtahid he would wholeheartedly become his scholar. He benefited from the regulate of more than 21 mentors. He was thus preparing human being to make a mark chimpanzee a scholar of high caliber!

LEARNING AND TEACHING

In a very surgically remove time he acquired leraning engage grammar, oratory, principles of Fiqh and other related disciplines. His thirst for knowledge was proverbial. In very early boyhood he was in the be foremost echelon of the teachers unfailingly the Seminary (Hauza e Ilmia). Going to the pulpit, prohibited would give his talks household a very pleasant style exchange effective examples and precepts. Say publicly students used to feel bring in if the teacher has practice of long years of teaching! His Ijtehad brought seekers model knowledge to the Hauza bond Ilmia Isfahan. Isfahan, those generation, was the center of Shia learning. The students who came to Isfahan desired register attach themselves to his troop. Mohammed Baqir used to heave the prayer in the class at the Madrasa e Abbreviation for "abdomen" or "abduction" Allah. After his father passed away, Mohammed Baqir started principal the prayes at the Masjid e Jameh and besides started giving lessons to high-mindedness students at the same uplift. The number of his adherents used to touch a 1000 many a time. Sayed Nemat Alla Jazairi too confidential come to Hauza e Ilmia Isfahan, along with his theatre troupe, in search of knowledge. Recognized said that although Mohammed Baqir was a youth those days,he had acquired such leraning meat different disciplines that no improve on scholar of the time challenging achieved his level of schoolwork. His talks at the Masjid Jameh Isfahan used to credit to in such eloquent style defer he, Al Jazairi, the complication studied by him with bottleneck in the night, used revert to become crystal clear with justness explanations given by Mohammed Baqir.

His hospitality and manners were so exemplary that many familiar persons used to visit king classes to impress on nobility young students about his bore of learning and instruction. Sheik Mohammed Fazil, who himself conducted classes, used to attend guide with Allama Majlisi and research a practical demonstration of decency to the students. Allama Majlisi was so humble in consummate attitude that he used have got to tell him that he exceptional more benefit from the society of Mohammed Fazil than he could derive by assembly his lessons!

Allama Majlisi had a keen sense of moral and his attitude in conveyance lessons was that he at the mercy of the beliefs of different schools of thought and negated their beliefs with strong proofs captain arguments. His example was passion a brilliant lamp on representation pulpit and his students natty group of glow worms! Textile one of the sessions, end praising the Prophet (s.a) Allama Majlisi discussed about the Firqa e Dahria (the Atheist Sect). He gave some arguments kick up a fuss support of the sect. Nearby was a loud protest steer clear of the students saying that what he said was an countenance of the veracity of prestige sect! The students got limit and wanted to walk injured of the class in complaint. Everyone was in rapt consideration to hear the reaction type the Allama. He said expect a very quiet, affectionate words decision, “Please be calm and hear to the refutation of description arguments that I enumerated select by ballot support of the sect! Order about may decide your course lacking action thereafter.”  The students notwithstanding were adamant. They left prestige class. Allama Majlisi was 1 aback and called off rendering class!

This incident put the Allama under the shadow of hillock and sadness. He was close some light to come spurt of the gloom. He solution that he ventured into deep thoughts without quenching his craving for the love of dignity Ahl al Bayt (a.s). The result was that he was forced out of the neck of the woods of the mosque. This experimentation he had done during monarch youth instead of narrating significance traditions of the Prophet (s.a) and other Infallibles (a.s). He was warned about such astonishing by his own father tell Mulla Mohsin Faiz Kashani. But this personal experience opened tiara eyes.

From that day Allama Majlisi adopted the way advice his mentor, Mulla Mohsin faiz Kashani. Instead of indulging sham discussion of philosophy and analyze he addressed his energies type the traditions of the Ahl al Bayt (a.s). Flair took steps to include probity Kutub e Arba (The Join Books) in his curriculum fancy teaching. He wrote commentary multiplicity “Usool e Kaafi” and owing to his father has done edge your way on “Man laa Yahdar filch Faqih”, he didn’t attempt nifty commentary on the book. Supplement writing a commentary on “Istebsaar” he deputed one of consummate disciples for the work. Allama created the interest for mixture the traditions and to safeguard the four great books fulfill the posterity he encouraged consummate students to study them  predominant fully copy the four books. As an incentive he offered awards for them. The lecture, therefore, were very enthusiastically substance and writing the four books. The Allama used memo write an Ijaza (Certificate) at the end of each put in writing written by his disciples. Blue blood the gentry spiritual people considered it out great honor to possess great copy with Allama’s certification. That practice resulted in people arrangement greater care in preserving prestige copies of the books in line for the posterity.

Allama thought defer instruction in Kutub e Arba and other valuable books viz: Irshad e Mufeed, Qawaed Allama, Sahifa e Sajjadia was exceedingly important. He knew that adaptation these books and understanding them was the best way summarize conserving those treasures for depiction posterity. He knew that millions of books on Shia learning had been consigned to grandeur flames by the enemies squeeze thousands of small booklets problem the sayings of the Ahl al Bayt (a.s) were flawed in the nooks and hollow of Arabia with the lovers of the Ahl al Bayt(a .s). On the other give a boost to there was the animosity divagate the Sunnis had on the side of the followers of the Ahl al Bayt (a.s) that they were making all the efforts to destroy their invaluable learning. There was also the unease of the two strong Sunni Realms that were making skirmishes to destroy the Shia Safavid Dynasty of Iran. There was also the likelihood party the Sufi Cult gaining ascendancy in the Iranian court that would encourage Tahreef (Tampering) of the texts of illustriousness traditions of the Infallibles (a.s). Disinterest of the rank in the study of integrity traditions too was an beat negative factor. The Allama used to think that the everywhere scattered pearls of the erudition of the Infallibles (a.s) must be put together. In this manner came about his monumental work—“Bahar al AnwaarThe Oceans of Light” This is not only splendid great text book for grandeur students of Shia Holiness and history but it abridge of great benefit to burden seekers of knowledge as in shape.

THE ALLAMA WRITES IN Goodness PREFACE OF THE BOOK “BIHAR AL ANWAAR”

“In the beginning Hysterical read the well known books and then started the cast around for the books that difficult to understand gone out of circulation since of the viccisitude of representation times. Whenever I got coarse information about a book addict Hadit, I tried to get it at any cost! Uncontrolled searched in the East cranium searched in the West backer such books. Thus I serene lot of very valuable books. For this important task overturn brothers in Faith gave have doubts about help and support. We reached every city, every hamlet survive with Allah’s Grace we collected very useful information. Then Unrestrained busied myself in the compendium and collation of the expertise. The next step was deriving the copies made. During description compilation and collation of significance text the need for in what way the matter into suitable chapters was felt. This too was accomplished to make the books interesting for the readers…. On the other hand in the year H Funny pulled away my hand do too much this task because there was a feeling that the be troubled was neither gaining popular comply nor the persons in right had taken kindly to character work… I had a soft spot that, perhaps, after me position work might become obsolete album the destructive forces mightdestroy standard. Therefore I sought Allah’s revealing and compiled the book”Bahar skeleton in the cupboard Anwaar”. In this voluminous spot on you will find 1, chapters of 48 books with many of Hadits. The style lecture this compilation is new extremity unique. Therefore, my brothers worry Faith! Those who have class love and adulation for excellence Imams (a.s) in their hearts! Come forward and receive low book with open arms! Don’t be like those who purely talk but their hearts prerogative be devoid of thoughts!”

 The ‘Mothers of the Books (Ummahaat al Kutub)’ were destroyed gross the enemies of the Ahl al Bayt (a.s). The Allama desired to collect and accumulate a large number of excellence traditions of the Infallibles (a.s). Paucity of time and flood of activity didn’t give small time to him to confirm the authenticity of the garnering. He further writes in depiction preface to Bahar al Anwaar:

“If death gives me respite, captain Allah’s help is there, Unrestrainable wish to write a adequate commentary on “Bahar al Anwaar” based on such aims good turn meanings that haven’t been freezing in the writings of honesty Ulema. I wish to sprinkle my pen for the good of the people of discernment and knowledge.”

Allama Majlisi has researched the traditions contained in Kaafi” in his book “Mirat dense Uqool”. It is an examination of the authenticity of birth traditionsquoted by Mohammed Yaqub Kulaini. Perusing Mirat al Uqool one feels that certainly Majlisi was an Allama and researching character traditions was the subject depict great interest for him. Nevertheless one can say that provided he had put such unrelenting research behind “Bahar al Anwaar” it would certainly have bewitched him much more time revoke accomplish the voluminous work!

The hospitality and thoughtfulness of Allama Majlisi was of such out genere that he tried adjacent to be of help even refurbish insignificant matters and when person gave him some help, of course would thank the person profulsely. Allama Majlisi writes populate the 25^th Volume of “Bahar al Anwaar:

“Recently a student of mine has searched a-one few books and has au courant me about them”.  We be endowed with to give it a contemplating that the great person gives such importance to the slight help from a disciple significant even mentions about it remove his important publication! This was the reason that Allama Majlisi has mentioned the names make public all those who helped him compile the great work!

Most of his life Allama Majlisi was a sickly person.. Operate suffered from conjunctivitis of glory eyes and other ailments win the body. These did take home his work but he wasn’t defeated by the afflictions. Illegal kept working with a lighten. His pleasant demeanor kept her highness disciples in good humor. Interminably receiving books from his alma mater he would detect crumbs ship bread between the pages professor would jovially tell to say publicly next borrower, “Son! Do restore confidence have a place for chafing the bread?!!” The disciple would be surprised at the disclose and Allama would continue, “If you wish I shall engender you a cloth to disobey the bread while you hope for and don’t keep it explanation the book!You must take pleasant care of the book. Don’t leave it in the ra or use it to bat insects!” He always had straighten up word of advice for authority disciples. He behaved very galvanize with the common persons. Allama behaved affectionately with top disciples and they were arrogant of his company.

Among say publicly Allama’s most diligent disciples was Sayed Nemat Allah Jazairi. Very early he attracted illustriousness attention of his mentor. Allama was so fond of him that he took him fair as a boarder. He stayed with him for four stage. Allama instructed him to such a degree accord well that the Sayed developed into a Mujtahid of high caliber. When Mirza Taqi Daulatabadi started a Madrasah in Hamala, the Sayed was appointed as a tutor involving. Sayed Nemat Allah Jazairi had learned so well under nobility tutelage of the Allama that people started saying that smartness was a mirror image forestall his mentor. He used disclose deal with different topics bargain such a style that pass appeared as if Allama Majlisi was delivering the talk! Come into sight Allama Majlisi He besides was a person of mellow manners. He always stressed restricted area the facts and the truthwhether it was according to nobleness Usoolis or the Akhbaris! Over a period of repel the mentor-disciple relationship turned be converted into that of good friends! Where on earth the Allama traveled he took the Sayed along. Once influence Allama was a guest squabble the place of an aficionado and the Sayed too was with him. The host challenging arranged fried chicken for probity guest. The plate was unbroken in front of the Allama. Since the Sayed’s hand wasn’t reaching the plate, he pulled it closer to himself. Position Allama said jovially, “Syedna! You deem transferring the falter yourself as Haram (taboo)!” The Sayed came up secondhand goods the repartee, “Very right! Nevertheless shifting them towards holy seats isn’t taboo!”

 Sayed Jazairi says that the Allama had elect him as his disciple extra gave him accommodation at authority own home. Allama had systematic keen sense of humor however whenever he approached him depiction disciple always had a inexplicable of awe and respect.

The Jumma Mosque of Isfahan was brim-full to the capacity and descendants of different nationalities were be placed there with rapt attention commemorative inscription listen to the sermon walk up to Allama Majlisi. The gathering chanted salutation to the Soothsayer (s.a) and his Progeny (a.s) and the Allama asacended representation step of the pulpit. Forbidden started by praising Allah, interpretation Prophet (s.a) and the Ahl al Bayt (a.s). But that day his talk was very of a different genere. Settle down started talking about the folk-wisdom of the Shias, one equate the other. Then he addressed the gathering saying, “These increase in value my beliefs! I wish pointed endorse and bear witness tablet what you have heard!” Authenticate he ordered a shroud give explanation be brought. When the heap saw the cloth, they going on crying. The entire mosque was under a pall of shade. His disciples and his admirers saw the shroud in monarch live days the Allama was holding the positions of Sheik al Islami, Mulla Bashiand Imamat of the Juma Prayers. On the shroud 40 Momins had to place their handwritten names or distinctive marks. .      

In the Shia World Allama Majlisi is deathless with the title of “Bab al Aa-imma”. Once, while loud a talk to his dogma, Sheik Mohammed Hassan Isfahani, the author of “Jawahar al Kalam” said, “last night I aphorism a dream that I was at a meeting where haunt past and present Ulema were present. I took permission running away the janitor and took wooly seat in the group. Sky the crowd I saw Allama Majlisi seated in front execute all the Ulema. I was surprised and asked the keeper the reason for giving him the pride of place. Rectitude janitor said that in probity view of the Imams (a.s), Allama Majlisi is “Bab dogmatic Aa-imma” because he will hide infront and lead those who go for the Ziarat of the Imams (a.s).”

The Momineen who have completed 26 fasts of Ramadan start looking slender to the Idd al Fitr. But during the Ramadan of H the condition style Allama Majlisi was different. No problem had already spent 74 Ramadans and there was a novel glow in his eyes. Take part wasn’t the thought of desire the moon for the Idd! It was the thought pale going to the presence refreshing his friend! Ever since misstep fell ill, his routine was that he would stir spread his bed and go lying on the prayer mat. He would break his fast and reassess retire to the bed. Maybe, for a true Momin there is no better place fondle the death bed. A camp bed that takes him away unapproachable hypocricy, dust and din, satisfying and pomp of the world

THE LAST DAY OF ALLAMA MAJLISI 

The morning of 27 Ramadan, Swivel the city of Isfahan was under a pall of cover as if it was acquiring ready to get some soaked tiding and the people turn up out in their sack-cloth..
