Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Baqir al-Musawi al-Qazwini (Arabic: محمد باقر الموسوي القزويني; Persian: محمد باقر موسوى قزوينى; 1919–1974) was an Iraqi Shia scholar of Iranian descent.[1]
He hosted popular gatherings and classes in the Al-Abbas shrine, that hosted many of Karbala's notable scholars, poets, and laureates.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
al-Qazwini was born in Karbala, to renowned scholar and orator, Sayyid Muhammad-Salih al-Qazwini (d. 1956; author of notable book, al-Mawʿiḍa al-Ḥasana, a critique of Ali al-Wardi's Wuʿaẓ al-Salaṭīn), the son of Allamah Sayyid Muhammad-Mehdi al-Qazwini (d. 1932).
al-Qazwini started his religious studies at a young age. Eventually, he took the classes of Sheikh Jafar al-Rashti, Sheikh Muhammad al-Khatib, Sheikh Yusuf al-Khurasani, and Sayyid Muhammad-Hadi al-Milani. He quickly became a popular figure in the seminary, and was hosting popular scholarly gatherings and conferences in different places across the city, but mainly in the Al-Abbas shrine.
Religious career[edit]
He had a class in jurisprudence in the Al-Abbas shrine every morning, which was attended by a number of notable scholars. This included Sayyid Muhammad-Ali Tabasi, Sayyid Baqir al-Fali, Sheikh Nasir al-Asadi, Sheikh Abbas Sibawayh, Sayyid Muhammad-Amin al-Safi and others.[3] Additionally, he had a evening scholarly gathering in the Qazwini family crypt in the Abbas shrine, which would involve some of Karbala's leading poets and laureates, including Sayyid Murtadha al-Wahhab, Sayyid Muhammad-Hasan al-Killidar Al Tumah.[2]
His gatherings involved notable individuals and scholars, such as Sheikh Hadi al-Khafaji (al-Karbalaei), and Sheikh Abd al-Zahra al-Ka'bi, as well as members of his family such as Sayyid Murtadha al-Qazwini, Sayyid Muhammad-Kadhim al-Qazwini, and others.
Al-Qazwini also dedicated his time to helping the people of the city with social issues, especially those of marriage. He worked hard to fix marital issues, and kept the option of divorce only as a serious last resort. He also had close ties with some of the city's merchants, such as Hasan Khan, who would provide al-Qazwini funds that he would use to help the less fortunate with. Al-Qazwini felt strongly towards the sha'aer al-husayniya (rituals of mourning for Husayn). He wrote a book about the legitimacy of the sha'aer, that remains as a manuscript.[2]
Personal life[edit]
al-Qazwini was married to an Arab woman from the Shammar tribe, and had ten children. His son Muhsin al-Qazwini is the founder of the Ahl al-Bayt University in Karbala. His son-in-laws included Sayyid Ali Akbar al-Modarresi, and Sheikh Muhammad-Sa'eed al-Makhzoumi.
He is the great nephew of the renowned Sayyid Ibrahim al-Qazwini (d. 1848), author of al-Dhawabit.
Death[edit]
Al-Qazwini had a heart attack and died in 1974 in Karbala, and was buried in his family's crypt in the Al-Abbas shrine, besides his late father.[4]
