He was of Arabian origin but was born in Iran in the province of Fars .1Before immigrating to Persia , his predecessors were settled in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia (in Al-Ahsa region) after moving from Medina .2He studied religion in Najaf and then he went to Kuwait to help people learn more about their religion and specifically the ideology of Shia. He helped Ayatollah Khomeini in his revolution against the Shah of Iran . Later he started a political reformist movement in his country. Within a few months of the Islamic Revolution , he was forced to leave Kuwait with his family as the authorities sought to prevent an Islamic Revolution in the state.3He decided to stay the rest of his holy life in Iran in the holy city of Qom . He continued his Islamic studies and his support for the Islamic Revolution until he died in 1988. He proposed opening of the first Jafari school in Kuwait which was later called The Jafari School (المدرسة الجعفرية). After a big effort, he could finally establish the school in Surrah, Kuwait.
