Grand Ayatullah Seyyed Mohsin AlHakim was born in 1306 AH in a famous
scholarly family. He studied under the tutelage of great Foqaha, like Ayatullah
Seyyed Muhammad Kadhim Yazdi, Ayatullah Mirza Hussein Naeeni, Ayatullah Zia
Iraqi and others.
After the sad demise of Ayatullah Seyyed Hussein Burujurdi, with whom
his family tree shared a common lineage finally reaching Ameerul Mumineen Imam
Ali b. Abi Talib (AS), he became a sole Marja.
The Hawza of Najaf al Ashraf grew immensely under his Marjaiyya,
boasting nearly an unprecedented figure of 8,000 students. He also instituted
several changes in the curriculum of the Hawzas, which have had far reaching
effects.
Grand Ayatullah Seyyed Mohsin AlHakim’s famous work in fiqh is
'MUSTAMSAK' which is acknowledged as the most exhaustive and enlightening
commentary on the first part of alUrwatul Wuthqa. The style and skill of his
reasoning established him among the FUQAHA of the first rank.
He is also well known for his clear fatwa against Communism, declaring
it an ideology of kufr and atheism.
He died on Rabiul Awwal 27, 1390 AH in Najaf al Ashraf – the city of
knowledge - and was laid to rest in the great and modern library he had
established.
