The reason of writing this book:
The reason of writing this work, by Allame Tehrani’s words:
Because the elder son of Häj Seyyed Mirza Ali Ghazi (by the name of Häj Seyyed Mohammad Hassan Ghazi Tabatabi Tabrizi), are writing a relatively detailed book about his father (the late Ghazi), (and in the second volume of this compilation, has been related the biography and translation of his students), several times, verbally, and now, with his handwriting, has asked me, in writing, that to write everything I know about Häj Seyyed Häshem Haddäd and give it to him; therefore, I decide to write a treatise, even though brief, almost with my understanding, and finally give it to him and to the “wayfarers and Gnostics”( ärbäbe solook and ma’refat).

In his childhood, he was trained under the supervision of his father. He finished the elementary education then the secondary education in the field of mechanics and machine-tool manufacture. Then because of interesting in religion lessons, chose Theology sciences and at the age of nineteen (after wearing the clergymen dress) went to the “Qom”. In the same early years, he got one of the first students of the late Allämeh Tabatabi (the owner of “Almizan” commentry) and in the commentary, philosophy and "practical mysticism" he got an elite of his followers. About 7 years, at the different levels of scientific, he had profited from great masters, then for completing his education, at the age of 26, he went to “Iraq” and dwelled in “Najaf”.
