Brief Biography of Ayatollah Al Uzma Shiekh Basheer Hussain Najafi (May Allah (swt) prolong his life)

The 11th Imam Hassan Al-Askari (as) says,

“whoever amongst the Fuqaha’ (scholars of Islamic jurisprudence) guards himself against evil, protects (and upholds) his religion, counters his base desires, and obeys the commands of his Lord, then the general public should follow (do taqleed of) him I religious matters”

He is from a religious family background, born in Jalinder a city in British India. After the partition of India and Pakistan his family migrated to the city of Lahore in Pakistan.

He did his basic religious studies at a religious school in Lahore known as Jamia tul Muntazar, after completing his basic studies there in the year 1965, to further his religious knowledge and to continue his studies in higher education, he moved to Najaf e Ashraf (the city of Ameer ul Momineen (as)) in Iraq.

Since then, he has remained with his Dars and Tadrees (studying and teaching), to such a level that Allah (swt) Almighty blessed him with the capability to become the Marjah of the Shia world, and since then the routine of Dars e Kharij is continuing.

May Allah (swt) give him a long life; to serve the Hawzah Ilmiya of Najaf e Ashraf and May Allah (swt) give the Shia world the ability to gain advantage from his teachings.

Insha Allah, Ameen
