From today's featured article

Sayyid Ḥusayn Burūjirdī Ṭabāṭabāʾī (b. 1292/1875 - d. 1380/1961) was one of the great Shi'a scholars of the 20th century. He was the leader of the Shi'a seminary of Qom for 17 years and was officially the only Shi'a religious leader for 15 years.

He was born in Borujerd in Safar 1292 / March 1875. His father was Sayyid Ali Tabataba'i, also a religious scholar, and his mother was Sayyidah Agha Beygum, the daughter of Sayyid Muhammad Ali Tabataba'i. His lineage traces back 30 generations to Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (a).

After entering elementary school at the age of seven, Sayyid Husayn's father realized his talent for learning and sent him to Nurbakhsh seminary in Borujerd.

He emigrated to Najaf at the age of 27 and attended the classes of Akhund Khurasani for nine years. He also studied under Sayyid Kazim Yazdi and Shari'at Isfahani.

He had five children - two sons and three daughters - from his first wife, but four of them passed away in childhood. His remaining daughter from this wife passed away two years after her marriage due to a difficult childbirth.

He had two sons and two daughters from his second wife (the daughter of Hajj Muhammad Ja'far Roughani Isfahani). His third wife was his cousin, the daughter of Sayyid 'Abd al-Wahid Tabataba'i.

One of his sons, Sayyid Muhammad Hasan Tabataba'i Burujirdi, was born in Borujerd in 1925 and died in Qom in 1977. He was in charge of writing his father's official verdicts of his father.

His second son, Sayyid Ahmad Tabataba'i, was born in 1937 in Borujerd and passed away in Qom at the age of 19.

Agha Fatemeh Ahmadi Tabataba'i, his older daughter and wife of Sayyid Ja'far Ahmadi, was born in 1913 and died at age 80.

Agha Sakina Ahmadi, his second daughter, was born in 1933 and was married to Sayyid Muhammad Husayn 'Alawi Tabataba'i.......
