Allama Sayyed Abul Hasan Hafezian

The great scholar Sayyed Abul Hasan Hafezian was born in 1332 A.H. in the Holy City of Mashhad in Iran. His honorable father Haaji Seyed Mirza Aqa and his great generous mother Bi Bi Maasoumeh Khatoon were both honored in their time. As his father he was also interested in mathematics. So the father who had perceived his son’s talent and interest, introduced him to Sheik Hassan Ali Esfehani (Nokhodaki) who was living in Mashhad at the time, wishing his son to study under this great scholar’s attention. The late Esfehani accepted him and began to educate him and looked after his upbringing. Hafezian studied at the Mirza Jaafar’s school during the days and mediated and prayed in the upper chamber beside the ancient Abassi lobby at nights. Soon, with his extraordinary intellectual power, he became the dearest student in the eyes of his teacher as he was far ahead of other students. At his classes, the teacher perceived the enlightening and heartfelt modesty and also sense of liberty in the face of his student, and discovered his intelligence and brightness for which his teacher recognized that he was much more gifted than others. In his adolescence, as Seyed Abolhassan’ genius miraculously reached perfection he was getting ready for mystical theosophy. He studied Arabic Grammar, Mathematics, Medicine, Astronomy, Theology and Morals under the attention of his teachers with a remarkable progress reaching the perfection in each of these fields.
