By: Ismail Zabeeh
HILLA, Iraq: A large number of Maraje representatives,
thinkers, philosophers, poets and intellectuals attended an annual
ceremony marking the death anniversary of grand researcher and jurist
Al-Allamah Sheikh Ab’ol Qassem Al-Hilli.
The ceremony was organized at Al-Fihaa mosque.
It is worth-noting that Al-Hilli became a Mojtahed before attaining
puberty.
Al-Hilli was born on December 15, 1250 - December 18, 1325) in Al
Hillah, where he studied philosophy, theology and sharia (Islamic
law). In 1305, Al-Hilli immigrated to Persia. He converted the
Ilkhanate ruler Öljeitü to Shi'a Islam, and as a result, Öljeitü
proclaimed Shi'ite Islam as the state religion in Persia.
Al-Hilli wrote more than 500 works on theology and religion. Most
famous is Treatise of the principle of Shi'ite Theology (Al-Bab al-Hadi
'Ashar). His works are standard references in the study of Islam and
are still used as textbooks in Iran.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
