AhlulBayt News Agency: A special ceremony was held at the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf, Iraq, to honor Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli, a senior Iranian Shia scholar, for his lifelong contributions to Islamic philosophy and Quranic studies.
The event was organized by the shrine’s Intellectual and Cultural Affairs Department on Tuesday. It was attended by Sayyed Issa al-Kharsan, the shrine’s custodian, along with members of the board of trustees, department heads, seminary scholars, university professors, and students from Najaf’s religious schools.
Speakers at the gathering highlighted Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s influential role in spreading Islamic teachings and fostering unity among Muslims through his academic work. They emphasized his efforts in strengthening the intellectual foundations of the Muslim world, particularly through his interpretation of the Quran and the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
The ceremony took place in an atmosphere of deep respect and spiritual reflection, attracting wide participation from scholars and students.
During his visit to Iraq, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is touring key religious cities, including Najaf and Karbala, which are major centers of Shia scholarship and pilgrimage, drawing millions of visitors annually.
He is widely recognized for his monumental Quranic commentary, the Tasnim Exegesis. This multi-volume work is considered one of the most comprehensive and scholarly interpretations of the Quran in contemporary Islamic literature. It integrates rational analysis, philosophical insight, and traditional exegesis, making it a cornerstone of modern Shia thought.
In a recent statement, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the leading Shia authority in Iraq, praised the Tasnim Exegesis, calling it a “source of pride” and recognizing its depth and scholarly rigor.
