Sheikh Jawaad Al Balaghi An-Najafi was an author
of great prowess, who discussed and debated with people
of various faiths: the Jews, Christians, Marxists
and even atheists who believed that the world has
come about through coincidence.
A man of such great talents used to live in great
poverty, in a poor house, his bed made of palm leaves.
It is related that the extent of his poverty was so
great that when he wanted to publish his writings,
he had no money, and thus had to sell his own house.
This shows how our scholars sacrificed their basic
necessities just so as to spread the religion of Allah.
