Sayyid Sajjad al-Radhawi (Arabic: سجاد الرضوي; Urdu: سجاد رضوى; 1919 – March 26, 1970) was a Pakistani-Iraqi Shia cleric and orator.[1][2]
al-Radhawi was born to Sayyid Muhammad-Mehdi bin Husayn bin Ali bin Ahmed bin Jawad bin Muhammad al-Radhawi in Lucknow, and shortly after migrated to Karbala along with his family.
He began his religious education at a young age. He studied his advanced studies under Sheikh Ali Akbar al-Na'ini, Mirza Mahdi al-Shirazi, Sheikh Muhammad-Ali Sibuwayh, and others.[3]
He loved delivering religious sermons, and ended up becoming one of Karbalas leading orators. He began travelling frequently to different Asian countries, such as Iran, Pakistan and India. He also travelled to Africa, where he gave sermons, and participated in Islamic ecumenical discussions in al-Azhar, Mogadishu, and Aden. However, he fell ill with asthma and a heart condition, that made it difficult for him to lecture and deliver sermons frequently.
Works
al-Radhawi had authored a number of books including:
- Nuzhat al-Nathireen
- Al-A'maal wal-Ad'iya wal-Ziyarat
- Hayat Sayyid al-Battha' Abi Talib (Alayhi al-Salam). On the life of Abu Talib.
