Ayatollah Kashani was born in Tehran, (1264 solar
year). He was called Abou Al-Qasem. His father
(Ayatollah Hajj Seyyed Mostafa Kashani) was a great
clergyman of Shiism in his period. Abou Al-Qasem
was trained in a holy and virtuous family under the
attention of his religious parents. He began the
learning of Quran recitation after he got the knowledge
of reading and writing.
Seyyed Abou Al-Qasem went to Seminary
and learned literature, Arabic language, logic,
semantics and speech, jurisprudence and principles
when he was 16. He went to Iraq in order to learn
more about Quran, and "Hadiths". He continued his
education in Holy Najaf Seminary and got
Jurisprudence degree when he was 25 years old.

He had liberal thoughts from younghood and hated
oppression, despotism and colonization and opposed
with them. He was younger and fresher than other
religious leaders, so he was on the first line
of fight. All Islamic scientists have a simple life out
of gathering money. Ayatollah Kashani’s life was like
this, too.

He died in 1340 (solar year). Finally he cut foreigners’
hand from Iran by nationalization of oil industry.
