Sayyid Muḥammad Ḥasan Ḥusaynī Shīrāzī (Arabic: سيد محمد حسن حسيني شيرازي) (b. 1230/1815 d. 1312/1895) known as Mīrzā-yi Shīrāzī, Mīrzā-yi Buzurg, and Mīrzā-yi Mujaddid, was Shiite authority in the fourteenth/ninetieth century. He is famous for issuing the fatwa that declared tobacco consumption as forbidden.

Following the death of al-Shaykh Murtada al-Ansari, Mirza Shirazi assumed the position of Shiite authority in 1864. He remained the sole Shiite authority for thirty years until his own passing. Mirza Shirazi was a favored student of al-Shaykh al-Ansari and his students included Shaykh 'Abd al-Karim Ha'iri, who later went on to found the Seminary of Qom, as well as prominent figures like Akhund Khurasani, Shaykh Fadl Allah Nuri, Mirza Na'ini, and Muhammad Taqi Shirazi. Mirza Shirazi authored numerous essays on Islamic jurisprudence and its principles, along with annotations on books related to jurisprudence and its principles, particularly those on which al-Shaykh al-Ansari wrote glosses for his followers. Additionally, his collected fatwas and lectures on jurisprudence and its principles have also been published.

Mirza Shirazi is widely regarded as the founder of the Seminary of Samarra and the intellectual school of Samarra. According to reports, he moved to Samarra with the intention of fostering closer relations between Shia and Sunni Muslims. While in Samarra, he undertook numerous public service initiatives, including the construction of a school, a Husayniyya, a bridge, a bazaar, and a public bathhouse.

He died at the age of 82 in Samarra and was laid to rest in the Shrine of Imam 'Ali (a) in Najaf. Arabic and Persian works have been written about him, including Hadiyyat al-Razi ila l-Imam al-mujaddid al-Shirazi by Aqa Buzurg al-Tihrani and Hayat al-Imam al-mujaddid al-Shirazi by Muhammad 'Ali Gharawi Urdubadi on the biography of Mirza and his students.

Life

Sayyid Muhammad Hasan Husayni was born in Shiraz on Jumada I 15, 1230 AH corresponding to April 25, 1815.[1] His father, Mirza Mahmud, was a religious scholar.[2] After losing his father at a young age, Mirza Muhammad Hasan was raised by his maternal uncle, Mirza Husayn Musawi, known as Mujidd al-Ashraf.[3]

While residing in Isfahan, Mirza Shirazi entered into marriage with the daughter of his paternal cousin when he was between seventeen and twenty years old. Together, they had a son named Ali and a daughter. His first wife passed away in 1885-6. Later, with his second wife, he had a son named Muhammad and another daughter.[4]

In 1871, Mirza Hasan embarked on a journey to Mecca to perform the Hajj rituals. During his pilgrimage, the Sharif of Mecca paid a visit to Mirza and even invited him to stay at his own residence. Although he initially had plans to settle down in Medina permanently, this proved to be unfeasible, and he ultimately decided to relocate to Mashhad. Eventually, he ended up residing in Samarra, where he spent the remainder of his life.[5]

Mirza-yi Buzurg passed away in Samarra at the age of eighty-two on Sha'ban 24, 1312 AH (corresponding to February 20, 1895). He was laid to rest in a chamber located within the courtyard of the Shrine of Imam 'Ali (a) in Najaf.[6] While some people believe that he died of tuberculosis[7] or bronchitis, others hold the belief that he was poisoned to death by agents of the British government.[8]

Education

Mirza Hasan began his education at the traditional school (maktab) when he was only four years old. Within two years, he had learned the recitation of the Qur'an and the common books of Persian literature. By the age of six, he had started studying Arabic morphology and syntax, and completed his study of these preliminaries by the time he turned eight.[9] Under the guidance of Mirza Ibrahim Shirazi, he then delved into the study of Quranic verses, hadiths, and preaching.[10] At the age of eight, Mirza Ibrahim asked him to deliver a speech on the minbar, after the noon and afternoon prayer in the Vakil Mosque of Shiraz. His speech covered moral instructions from the book Abwab al-jinan.[11]

After completing his preliminary studies, Mirza Hasan began to delve into the field of Islamic jurisprudence and its principles. At the age of twelve, he attended the lectures of Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Shirazi, the renowned teacher of Sharh al-Lum'a in Shiraz. When he turned eighteen, his teacher advised him to continue his studies in Isfahan.[12] Prior to his relocation to Isfahan, Mirza Muhammad Hasan worked as a bureaucratic writer, following in the footsteps of his father.[13] In fact, at the young age of fifteen, he even taught Sharh al-lum'a in the Seminary of Shiraz.[14]

Education in Isfahan

On Safar 17, 1248/July 16, 1832, Mirza Shirazi arrived in Isfahan[15] and took up residence at Sadr Seminary School.[16] During his time there, he had the opportunity to attend private lectures by Muhammad Taqi al-Isfahani, the author of Hidayat al-mustarshidin. Following the passing of his teacher late that year, Mirza Shirazi began attending the lectures of Sayyid Hasan al-Bidabadi, also known as Mir Sayyid Hasan al-Mudarris. Before the age of twenty, he received a certificate of ijtihad from al-Bidabadi.[17] For the next ten years, Mirza Shirazi remained in Isfahan, where he continued to attend the lectures by Muhammad Ibrahim al-Kalbasi.[18]

Education in Iraq

At the age of twenty-nine, in 1259/1842, Mirza Hasan migrated to Iraq, where he attended the lectures by prominent scholars such as Muhammad Hasan al-Najafi (the author of Jawahir), Hasan Kashif al-Ghita (the son of Ja'far Kashif al-Ghita'),[19] and al-Shaykh al-Ansari.[20]

He had a special relationship with al-Shaykh al-Ansari, who regarded him as a favored student.[21] In fact, al-Shaykh al-Ansari entrusted him with the task of editing his monumental work on the principles of jurisprudence, Fara'id al-usul.[22] It is worth noting that al-Shaykh al-Ansari was known to have said, "I teach only for three people: Muhammad Hasan Shirazi, Habib Allah Rashti, and Hasan Najmabadi."[23] Despite his close relationship with al-Shaykh al-Ansari, he was not known to speak much during lectures. When he talked, his voice was so quiet and soft that al-Shaykh had to lean forward and silence other students when he spoke, announcing, "Mister Mirza is talking."[24]

Shiite Authority

After the passing of al-Shaykh al-Ansari in 1281/1864, Mirza Shirazi took on the mantle of Shiite authority. According to Aqa Buzurg Tihrani, all of al-Shaykh's prominent students were in agreement about the authority of Mirza, except for a group of scholars from Azerbaijan who proposed that another student of al-Shaykh al-Ansari, Sayyid Husayn Kuhkamara'i, be recognized as the authority for their own region. However, after Kuhkamara'i passed away in 1299/1882, Mirza Shirazi became the sole authority of Shiites worldwide.[25]

Scholars of Shiite jurisprudence and its principles believe that the scholarly position of Mirza Shirazi is comparable to that of his teacher al-Shaykh al-Ansari, and some even believe that he surpassed his teacher in terms of scholarship.[26]

Establishment of the Seminary of Samarra

When Mirza Shirazi and his students relocated to Samarra in 1291/1874, the Seminary of Samarra was established along with the intellectual school of Samarra.[27] The seminary was active for approximately twenty years, but following the passing of Mirza Shirazi in 1312/1895 and the migration of scholars to Karbala and Najaf, its vibrancy dwindled. Sayyid Hasan Sadr, Sayyid Muhsin Amin, Sharaf al-Din al-'Amili, Muhammad Jawad Balaghi, Shaykh Muhsin Sharara, Aqa Buzurg Tihrani, 'Allama Amini, and Muhammad Rida Muzaffar were prominent scholars of the Seminary of Samarra.[28] Mirza Shirazi and his student's teaching and writing style in jurisprudence and its principles are recognized as the intellectual school of Samarra.[29] According to Sayyid Radi Shirazi, Mirza Shirazi, who was his grandfather, lived in Samarra with the intention of fostering a closer relationship between Shia and Sunni Muslims.[30] The school of Samarra is therefore distinguished by its emphasis on eschewing sectarianism and promoting interaction with Sunni Muslims.[31]

Tobacco Ban

During Mirza Shirazi's leadership of the Shiite community, an event known as the Tobacco Protest occurred. This protest was sparked by the granting of all rights to tobacco production and sale (Tobacco Regie) to a British company in four cities of Iran. In response, people began to hold protests led by four students of Mirza Shirazi: Shaykh Fadl Allah Nuri in Tehran, Aqa Najafi Isfahani in Isfahan, Sayyid 'Ali Akbar Fal Asiri in Shiraz, and Mirza Jawad Mujtahid Tabrizi in Trabriz.[32] Mirza Shirazi issued a historic ruling on tobacco ban, which resulted in increasing protests. Ultimately, the pressure from these protests led to Naser al-Din Shah revoking the tobacco contract.[33]
