He was born in the holy city of Karbala, Iraq and lived in exile in Kuwait and Iran for over 30 years.

The much-lamented Sayed Muhammad Ridha Shirazi is a renowned Muslim jurist theologian scholar. His incredible in-depth knowledge was passed onto hundreds of graduating Muslim scholars around the world. Many Muslims greatly absorbed Islamic wisdom and knowledge from his teachings.  He was a humble valiant contributor of Islam and Ahlul-Bayt (AS). A light of source that shun across the hearts and minds of all Muslims, the beloved Sayed Muhammad Ridha Shirazi will greatly be missed.
