ʻAbdullāh Jawādi Āmolī

Ayatollah Jawadi Amuli entered the Hawzah of Amul, after finishing his primary education, and for five years, he benefited from great scholars some of whom were the students of the late Akhund Khurasani. Thereupon he completed the intermediate level of pre-Kharij studies in Fiqh, Usool, and Hadith.

In 1950 Ayatollah Aamuli left Amul and traveled to Tehran, there he attended the lectures of Ayatollah Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Aamuli. Later, he joined the Marwi Madrasah where he studied the highest levels of pre-Kharij lessons. In Tehran, he also benefited from Ayatollah Sha`rani and Ayatollah Ilahi Qumshe’i in the area of intellectual discipline, while studying the Kharij stage of Fiqh and Usool under the supervision of Ayatollah Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Amuli until 1955.

In the same year, he traveled to Qom and entered the Hawzah there. He attended the lectures of Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Boroujerdi for a short period of time. In Qom, he was also a student of Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Muhaqqiq Damad for about thirteen years – learning Fiqh, and a student of Imam Khumayni for about seven years – learning the principles of Fiqh.

Ayatollah Jawadi Aamuli was fortunate to attend the private lectures of Allama Tabataba’i.
