Adolkarim Hasheminejad before the Iranian Revolution
Hasheminejad was born in 1932 in the province of Mazandaran. He studied under Ayatollah Koohestani before moving to Qom to further his studies. He held lectures at the "Religious Debate and Criticism Center" run by Hassan Abtahi. He married Abtahi's sister, who died in 2007.[2]
Educationedit
Hasheminejad was a disciple of Ayatollah Seyyed Hossein Borujerdi and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He began his higher education at age 27 and reached the rank of ijtihad. He then migrated to Mashhad. He studied many fields apart from religion, holding discussions and classes with young people, especially students, from which some of his books resulted. He was a writer, a passionate and knowledgeable public speaker and a famed Seminary teacher.[3]
Political activitiesedit
Hasheminejad was arrested in the June 5, 1963 demonstration in Iran. His second arrest was when he gave a speech on 14 October 1963 against the State Associations Bill, the arrest of Khomeini, as well as the lack of freedom in the country.[4][5] He resumed political activities and religious meetings after that. He was later arrested once more. In total, he was arrested five times from 1963 and 1978. His last arrest was on June 22, 1978 but, rise of the Islamic Revolution led to his release after one day. Hasheminejad was one of the main instigators of the Islamic Revolution in Mashhad.[6]
