SEYED explains:

I learnt religious precepts and Arabic language. I also learnt some other sciences from the late GHASGHAEE and the clergy MOLA MOHAMMAD KASHANI. After the tobacco event, I went to the religious centers belonging to the innocent IMMAS. After pilgrimage, I visited AYATOLLAH SHIRAZI, since I wanted to continue my education, I stayed in Najaf for a while. I stayed there to visit the shrines of innocent Imams and continue my education for 7 years. After that I returned to Isfahan .I started teaching in a small school. When political situation changed, clergies told me to move to Tehran. During the few years that passed from the revolution, some events took place for me and I had to immigrate for some years. I accompanied some people who tripped to Iraq, Syria and Turkey. I think it was my destiny to go there. And two times opponents attacked me. But since God wanted me to stay alive, their efforts were useless.
In parliament, MODARESS opposed every action of REZA KHAN. Always he and his followers were under pressure. So in seventh national assembly, KHAN decided to preclude any possible way of entering SEYED and his colleagues. And for this reason, they cheated in election. MODARES angrily asked: where is the vote which I gave to myself? PAHLAVI exiled him from Tehran. Because MODARES was alerting people and revealing the conspiracies of REZA KHAN. SEYED was a fearless critic of anti-Islamic regime. SEYED HASAN was martyred through poisoning by agents of despotic ruler. REZA KHAN died too, but in shame. Today SHIA people remember him as spiritual leader for ever. May God bless him and his all followers AMEEN.
