+==Biography and Views==
+Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din was born in 1964 in a village in southern Lebanon to a prominent and influential family. He started his religious education at a young age and, before moving to [[Qom]] for further studies, married the daughter of Sayyed Mohammad Ali Amin, a member of the Higher Islamic Council of Shia Muslims in Lebanon.
+While in Qom, Safi al-Din was profoundly influenced by the political philosophy of Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih) as articulated by Imam Khomeini, a subject he later explored in his writings. His brother, Abdullah Safi al-Din, represents Hezbollah in Iran, and his son, Reza Safi al-Din, is married to Qassem Soleimani's daughter.
+Safi al-Din believes that Muslims, especially scholars, have a responsibility to defend the oppressed, particularly in the context of the Gaza blockade. He argues that if scholars can’t find a compelling reason in their teachings to support the people of Gaza, they should reconsider the relevance of their knowledge to Islam.
+At the memorial marking the fortieth day after Qassem Soleimani's martyrdom, Safi al-Din stated that Soleimani’s sacrifice would ultimately lead to the expulsion of the United States from the region and the liberation of its peoples.
