Grand Ayatollah Allama Shaikh Muhammad Hussain Najafi Urdu/Punjabi: آية الله العظمی علامہ الشیخ محمد حسین النجفي) (born April 1932) is a Twelver Shi'i alim from Pakistan and has been elevated to the status of marjiyyat. At present, there are two maraji of Pakistani descent, the other one Basheer Hussain Najafi. As Basheer Hussain Najafi has chosen to reside in Najaf, Iraq, Muhammad Hussain Najafi is the only marja' on Pakistani soil, running a Hawza in Sargodha.[1]
He has been included in the last 5 editions of "The Muslim 500: The World's Most Influential Muslims" since 2010.[2][3] He is one of the 9 marja's mentioned in the most recent edition.[4]

Childhood and family

Muhammad Hussain was born in small town of Jehania shah in sargodha District of Punjab province of Pakistan on April 1932. He had two paternal uncles, both of whom were Shia ulema: Maulana Imam Bakhsh was a religious teacher in Jahanian Shah, while Maulana Sohrab Ali Khan was a reputed alim of Uch Sharif. His father Rana Tajuddin was not an alim, but he had the wish of making his son a great alim. However, he died in 1944 when Muhammad Hussain was 12 years old, after which the family members persuaded the widow that Muhammad Hussain should look after the family lands, but she kept up the wish of her dead husband.[1][5]

Early education in Pakistan

After secondary school education, he got admission in Madrasah Muhammadia in Jalalpur Nankiana, Sargodha, where one of his prominent teachers was Ayatollah Allama Hussain Bakhsh Jarra. In 1947, he studied the courses of Dars-i-Nizami from Ayatollah Allama Muhammad Baqir Naqvi in Jhang. Allama Baqir Naqvi had migrated from Iraq to spread Shia formal education in Pakistan. Since (the First Biggest prominent Shia scholar in Pakistan Ustad ul ulama) Grand Ayatollah Allama Syed Muhammad Yar Shah Naqvi Najfi, the most prominent disciple of Allama Baqir Naqvi, had moved from his ancestral city Alipur to Jalalpur, Muhammad Hussain moved to Jalalpur to complete Dars-i-Nizami for the next five years. In 1953, he passed the examination of Molvi Fazil from Punjab University, and moved to Najaf in 1954 for higher education.[1][6]

Marital life

Before going to Najaf for higher religious education, he was married to his maternal cousin in 1952. His teacher Allama Yar Shah had links with ulema of Najaf, and he wanted Muhammad Hussain to get married in a scholarly family of Najaf, but Muhammad Hussain declined this proposal due to cultural differences.[7] In 1954, his only son Muhammad Sibtain was born. At the age of five, he got seriously ill and died, as Muhammad Hussain did not have enough money for his treatment. (Muhammad Hussain used to spend his stipend money on household and buying books.) [8] After Sibtain's death, Ayatollah Najafi did not have children for next eleven years. He married the daughter of Haji Muhammad Shafi (Faisalabad) in 1970. He had three daughters from this marriage. His first wife died in 1996.[1][9]

Hawza Team: Hazrat, tell us about your education at Hawza Elmiye Najaf and your teachers there.
Ustad Najafi: My stay at Najaf was short ... I completed my education in 6 years ... At Najaf, the total number of courses I used to study and teach daily often reached up to ten. ... Once my teacher Grand Ayatollah Shaikh Jawad Tabrizi said to me in light mood:
"Why do you take so much strain, what is the logic in taking ten courses daily? Iranians say: 'The climate of Najaf is dry, thus taking one course in Najaf is not enough, but taking two courses is more than enough.'"[11][12][13][14][15]

Controversy

Some of the Shias oppose Muhammad Hussain Najafi because of his controversial beliefs. They say that he does not believe in the merits of Ahl al-Bayt (the Family of Prophet Muhammad) unlike the majority of Shi'ite scholars. Controversies started with his books that he wrote on several topics. Some Shi'ite believe that Muhammad Hussain Najafi is the person who claims that Ahl al-Bayt are no more than ordinary human beings and that is what is against the basic faith of Shi'ite Islam. The study finds that his book Usool ush-Sharia fi Aqaid ush-Shia[38] is full of controversial accounts. Some believe that accounts of his other books are also against the Shi'ite faith, especially Islahul Rusoom where he denies the beliefs in Tawassul, Shafa'ah as well as other Shi'a tenets. His teachings are similar to other controversial figures like Sheikh Muhammad Khalisi and Sayyid Muhammad Hussein Fadhlullah.
