Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Basheer Hussain Najafi ((アラビア語:آية الله بشير النجفي)) (born 1942) is one of the five Grand Ayatollahs in Iraq. He was born in Jalandhar, a city in then British India. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, his family moved to Pakistan and settled in the city of Gujranwala, Punjab. In Gujranwala he had his initial education in religion. He was then able to move to Iraq for studies in the early 1960s. He is one of many individuals from South Asia and one of the few Pakistanis to have ever been elevated to the highest rank of Grand Ayatollah in Shia Islam. He was one year senior to Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani. Al Najafi could be a possible successor to Ali al-Sistani, who has undergone two heart bypass surgeries in London in less than five years, upon the latter's death. Al Najafi was attacked on 6 January 1999 by a group of armed men, reportedly members of Fedayeen Saddam, while he and members of his seminary were performing religious duties. The attack, which included use of a hand grenade, resulted in the death of three persons and injury to a number of members of the seminary, including the Grand Ayatollah. == Brief Biography == He is from a family of religious background, born in Jalinder a city in British India. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, his family migrated to the city of Lahore in Pakistan. He undertook his basic religious studies at a religious school in Lahore known as Jamia tul Muntazar. After completing his basic studies there in 1965, in order to further his religious knowledge and to continue his studies in higher Islamic education, he arrived in Najaf-e-Ashraf (the city of Ameer ul Momineen) in Iraq. In Najaf, he remained with his Dars and Tadrees (studying and teaching), to such a level that Allah Almighty blessed him with the capability to become a Marjah of the Shia world, and since then the routine of Dars-e-Kharij is continuing. He is one of the Ulama signatories of the Amman Message, which gives a broad foundation for defining Muslim orthodoxy.〔(Najafi's official reply to Amman Message 7 June 2005 )〕 He has 3 brothers and one sister. Ayatollah's oldest brother Sheik Maulana Manzoor Hussain Abidi was also a scholar in Lahore who died on 29 June 2014. He was running his main office in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bashir al-Najafi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
