By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: The second festival on philosophy of martyr Murtaza Motahhari concluded in Tehran.

Murtaza Motahhari, born on February 2, 1920, near holy city of Mashhad, is one of the principal architects of the new Islamic consciousness in Iran. He ranks among one of the most dynamic and effective scholars of recent times. He studied Fiqh, Usool, Tafsir and Islamic philosophy. He studied in holy city of Qum from 1944 until his departure for Tehran in 1952. In Qum he was among the prime disciples of Allama Tabatabai and Imam Khomeini.

The particular school of philosophy to which Motahhari adhered was that of Mulla Sadra which is a theosophy called "sublime philosophy".
