Ayatollah Jawad Tabrizi was born in 1926 in Tabriz. After finishing
secular school and reaching to the ripe age of eighteen, he entered a
theological school in his hometown. Within four years of entering the
theological school he completed the preliminary and intermediate
levels of his seminary studies. In the year 1948, he migrated to Qum
and finished other lessons at the intermediate level. In Qum he
reached to the Kharij level; thereupon he attended the lectures of the
late Ayatollah Hujjat, and Ayatollah Boroujerdi. Aside from studying
he also taught the intermediate to advanced courses of Islamic studies
in Qum.
Tabrizi then migrated to Najaf and was fortunate enough to
benefit from eminent scholars such as the late Ayatollah Sayyid Abul Hadi
Shirazi and the late Ayatollah al-Khou'i until he got the degree of
Ijtihad. Tabrizi was invited by al-Khou'i to join the Assembly of
Consultants, which is an organized group of scholars that responds to the
people's questions.
Mirza Jawad stayed in Najaf for about twenty-three years,
leaving only in the holidays to do propagation in different countries. He
later returned to Iran and began teaching Fiqh (jurisprudence) and Usool
(principles) in the Islamic seminary of Qum, where he currently is till
this very day.
