The fourth speaker at the opening ceremony of the conference commemorating Mirza Mohammad Taghi Shirazi was the representative of the Iraqi seminary of Hojat al-Islam Sayed Mohammad Ali Bahr Al-Olum, who gave a speech on behalf of this seminary and emphasized the importance of holding this conference.

In his speech he stated, “The independence and sovereignty of a country is preserved if there is no foreign interference and internal division. The preservation of this sovereignty in the modern era was initiated by Grand Mirza Shirazi (Ayatollah Mirza Mohammed Hassan Husayni Nouri Shirazi) by issuing a fatwa banning tobacco, that was issued to fight against the enemies’ economic domination of the Ummah.”

Then, in expressing the great achievement of Mirza II, Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Shirazi, he said, “The establishment of a modern government in Iraq came from this principle of seeking independence and preserving sovereignty. That is, when the time when Mirza Shirazi II issued a Jihad fatwa, he caused the Iraqi people to stand up and fight against the British occupation and force the colonizer to accept their demands.”

“The epic victory over Daesh, which was achieved with the fatwa of Iraq’s independence, also came from the same source of independence and sovereignty,” the seminary professor continued.

“Also, today we need to be inspired by this history, and learn leadership in war, as well as thought in peace from our dignitaries,” Bahr Al-Olum added.

“It is in such conferences that the thoughts of our ulama, who have taken such significant measures for the Islamic Ummah, should be clarified,” he emphasized, “The brilliant career of these mujahid scholars and the outlines of their movement should be introduced and clarified for the people of this age.”

In the end, on behalf of the Iraq’ seminary, he expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and all those who organized this conference for shedding light on the life of Ayatollah Mirza Mohammad Taghi Shirazi.
