This year marks the 39^th anniversary of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Assadullah Madani, a leader and militant scholar who was martyred by Monafeqin as the second martyr of sanctuary of the Islamic revolution on Shahrivar 20, 1360 S.H.

He was born in Azar Shahr in 1293 S.H. His mother died when he was 4 and his father passed away when he was 16.

He went to Qom city at youth to learn sciences. His masters were Ayatollah Seyyed Muhammad Taqi Khansari, Ayatollah Seyyed Muhammad Hojjat Kouh Kamari and the Excellency Imam Khomeini (P.H.)

After a short period of time he became one of the known masters of theological school of Najaf.

He was confronting against anti-religion, anti-Islam and anti-Shia people. He was supporting hose who were campaigning for the sake of religion. When Nawwab Safavi started his activities against the Pahlavi regime, many people cut their relationships with him even saying hello in order not to be endangered; but Ayatollah Madani sold his books to help him. In Najaf city, when many people cut their relationships with late Imam Khomeini (P.H.), Ayatollah Madani was his companion from the beginning to the end.

Ongoing campaign against the Baha’ism cult:

Ayatollah Madani has started his social and political activities against the Baha’ism cult. In order to confront Shia, Reza Khan had provided the opportunities for the Baha’ism cult and other ones and tried to foster many Baha’i investors in the Eastern Azirbayjan especially nearby AzarShahr. At that time, Ayatollah Madani made pounder speech against Baha’ism and made people aware not to use the Baha’is products.

Ayatollah Madani was martyred and made people clear-sighted to know the enemies and their aims.
