Abstract

Haj Sheikh Morteza Ansari Qomi (1323-1391 A.H.), was considered one of the hardworking propagators of Islam. The late speaker was always the first person, in preaching and religious propagation as well as promoting and publishing hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt. His will and sound of his minbar and good sermons was published all over Iran and he left good works in most of his propagation trips and his campaigns against Sheikhs, Sufis, Babis, Baha'is and communists. This study aims to identify the method of his propagation and speech and how he dealt with various social and religious thoughts and events. The method is library and field research. The findings suggest that the late speaker started his activities by using tools such as the verses, narratives and news that he had in his mind, with his own sweet taste and enthusiasm, and for forty years, he preached in the summer and winter, in the east, west, north, and south of Iran and al-ʿAtabāt al-ʿAliyāt (holy shrines of Shi'a Imams in Iraq including Najaf, Karbala, Kadhimiya, and Samarra). In any city of Iran, if a wolf opened its mouth to kidnap the youth of Islam, he would pounce on him like a roaring lion, break his teeth and sew his mouth shut. Now, on the 50th anniversary of his death, we have a brief description of his life and services and show a little of his knowledge, commitment and responsibility
