A Glance at the Positions and Works of Jamal-al- Salekin, Mirza Ali Agha Ghazi Tabatabayee

The prominent mystic and unique scholar, Seyyed Ali Ghazi Tabatabayee, was born in 1906 HD in Tabriz. He used to be known for his genius and cleverness ever since he was a child. He went through his elementary schooling through the training of his father Seyyed Hossein Ghazi and other scholars including Haj Mirza Moosa Tabrizi and Mirza Mohammad Ali Gharajedaghi, but his spirit was not satisfying so that he had no choice but to learn mysticism, theory and practice, from great scholars such as Molla Mohammad Kazem Khorasani, Fazel Sharabiyani, Seyyed Abolfazl Isfehani. The deceased Ghazi had elevated in mystical position to a higher status so much that there are some miracles reported by him and his intuition and revelation were well-known by his followers. In poetry , especially Arabic, he had a high position and sometimes his pen name was ʹMeskinʹ (Miserable). His never tiring strife to acquire excellence and knowledge and going through spiritual journey brought about perpetually known students including Allameh Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabayee, Sheikh Mohammad Taghi Amoli, Seyyed Hashim Haddad. Works such as interpretation of a section of the Koran as well as written works in terms of Religious jurisprudence and its elements, and after 18 years of blessing life and self battling with personal lust, he passed away because of edema.
