The life story of a full time student
I was born in November 1969. In the holy city of Mashhad, in an old district adjacent to the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (A.S), known as Sarshoor Bazaar where the distinguished scholars including, paramount leader of the Islamic Revolution-Ayatollah Khamenei-, Ayatollah Morvarid, Ayatollah Mirza Jawad Tehrani and many other celebrities, dignities, thinkers and researchers whose names are not in my mind now, grew up in this district.
Life was easier on those days, simple and lovely. People's life was less luxurious, men of science and believer's life, in particular.My father - Hji Aqa - was a clergy man and spent his whole life on acquiring religious sciences and propagating Islam. My mother - Gawhar Khanum (Lady Gawhar) - was the best student of Haji Aqa. Gawhar Khanum was a kind and patient wife.

She incredibly and unceasingly respected Haji Aqa. She explained to us many words of Haji Aqa. Many things that we couldn't understand, became comprehensible after her explanations.
I grew up older and older. I was always an honor student at school. Along with studying and doing homework, I was busy with playing, having fun, working and being engaged in the Holy Shrine. I went to pilgrimage 3 or 4 times a week. I walked in the courtyards. Sometimes it became dark and I was not aware.Designs and paintings on tiles, lofty balconies, dome, minarets, and the other premises had lots of mysterious stories for me.I thought how it was possible that this much grandeur gathered in one place? Really how could it be possible that all these grandeur gathered in a place on the earth?
I became a high school student. I registered in Ayatollah-ul-Uzma Milani seminary, because of Haji Aqa persistence.Although I was greatly interested in religious sciences, but it couldn't satisfy me. Therefore I took some English classes and simultaneously I became a high school student too.
My daily schedule after morning prayers was going to the seminary, and then taking part in the English classes and after that attending high school.
Later on I went to Hojat-ul-Islam Val Muslimin Misbah seminary who was the representative of Aiatollah-el-Uzma Khuei.
Observing a seminary student studying modern sciences, English language in particular, was not popular on those days.Authorities of the seminary called me several times, saying I should study either lessons of seminaries or English or modern lessons. But I couldn't abandon my great desire for learning. It was crystal clear that seminary would not loose its honor student. I felt relaxed that I was not going to be expelled.

I participated in the entrance university exam in 1978 for the first time. I was admitted to electronic major with the tendency of power (Electro Technique) and I became a Ferdowsi University student. Before that I had gotten my high school diploma in Mathematics and humanities fields.

An American University in Minnesota State, Minneapolis city for studying sent me an invitation. Although I was interested in going abroad but something happened to me that encouraged me to stay in Iran and I continued my education at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.Reading textbooks and many other books opened the gates of a new world of new understandings in front of me.
Up to the present time just reading could have satisfied my mysterious sense of knowing, understanding and learning. My life, on those days, joined with the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Ayatollah Khamenei, Ayatollah Waiz Tabasi and Martyred Hashemi Nejad were the pioneers and ran guards of a movement which I was a member of it then. I spent my days in seminaries, demonstrations and in front of the preaching lectern of these honorable people in some critical days I went to Tehran or Isfahan to take part in the most important demonstrations. The time and date of the next demonstration would have been enunciated at the end of each gathering.
I'm proud of those days. Standing in front of leaden bullets, not being scared, relying upon God and trusting in Him, were the lessons which Haji Aqa taught me very well.
The revolution worked out and my mind filled with memorials which would never be forgotten. I was very young those days. Universities were closed with the initiation of Cultural Revolution.
Ayatollah Waiz Tabasi had been appointed as the Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi with the command of Imam Khomeini - the Late Founder of the Islamic Revolution -.
I eventually joined up him by passing lots of ups and downs and I requested him to give me a job in this complex to be in close contact with him.
Among the offered positions, I chose the managing director of the Public Relations of Astan Quds Razavi for the reason of having close contact with pilgrims of Imam Reza (A.S) and also Ayatollah Waiz Tabasi. So I spent twenty years of the best days of my life with the honor of being his student and carrying out my activities under the management of a noble and kind master who helped me to achieve many understandings in different grounds and also I carried out activities at the most lovely place I could have ever imagined which still remained.

After starting executive and management rends, although having a pile of plans in my mind and believing that Astan Quds Razavi as a public and spiritual foundation has to do them, I didn't abandon studying and I became a student of Ayatollah Waiz Tabasi for studying treatises and two volumes of Kefayah - the social equality of the spouses in marriage -.
It is too hard to summarize your whole life in several pages. How abject is the twenty - year life on paper and in words. How could I write how much important were those years to me.
How much I tried. I made very possible efforts. How could a person describe the passing of his life.
And Iraqi Imposed War broke out. A great manifestation of self sacrifice of youth appeared once again. All my concern was to use my position to promote the aims of the Islamic System and help the combatant. Fortunately, under the guidelines of the Grand custodian, Astan Quds Razavi renovated Huwayzah. So as soon as I found a chance, I set out for those regions. How pleasurable is this reliance and how lovely is that you entrust yourself to God.
It's 1986. I mean It was 1986 that I got married. My wife was the daughter of the late Haji Morteza Tajrishi. He was one of the most famous challengers and merchants of Tehran Bazaar after and before the Islamic revolution.
My wife, much the same as me, has a great desire to know, understand and read. We studied together, we understood together and we learnt together both lessons of university and lessons of life. She's a university professor now and although I'm very busy these days but I teach some hours in a week.

As far as I can, and have time, I make my effort to maintain my contact with university and seminary atmosphere and education and teaching.
The story of my life now reaches to the point they connect me with executive and scientific titles. Vice - custodianship of Astan Quds Razavi is my most honorable title.
Even now whenever I enter the courtyard of Imam Reza (A.S) and I turn my head around, when I drown in the embossed arabesque designs I ask myself how it's possible to gather so much grandeur in one place? How come? And this is the question for I'm digging in his Excellency's Life.

As mush as I study I become more interested and I'm proud of being the full time student of the lord (Maola) of Shi'ite of the world, Abal Hasan - Er - Reza.
Haji Aqa passed away in 1992 and Gawhar Khanum joined her 8 years later. According to their desire, both of the dearest were buried in Imam Reza's Holy Shrine.
Now my mind filled with the memorials of the childhood with a devoted wife and children whom I loved them very much. My son sayyed Mahdi is a student of Imam Sadiq University, Sayyedah Tahura, my elder daughter, is a student of Imam Reza (A.S) University and my younger daughter Sayyedah Shakiba is studying at Imam Reza (A.S) elementary school.
