The martyr was known for his smile

He had written more than one thousand two hundred books. He wrote the largest encyclopedia ever written by a single person, with one hundred and fifty volumes the al-Feqh encyclopedia on Islamic law and jurisprudence is the biggest of its kind

He wrote with his right hand for years and when his right fingers could no longer hold a pen, he trained his left hand, and after a number of years when his left fingers could no longer hold a pen, he trained his right fingers; and wrote with different fingers

His study, in which he spent the majority of his time during the day and night. Notice his simplicity and contentment and see the wall behind him, and think about millions of followers worldwide, knowing that twenty percent of their yearly surplus went to him for his institutions and projects

After his martyrdom, all he has left for his family is a number of large debts, as he, like his father the Marja' of his time and like his Martyred brother who was assassinated by Ba'thist agents in Beirut in 1980, had more projects and institutions than his financial capabilities

In a meeting of high ranking officials attended by Rayshahri (director of the Special Court for the Clergy), Fallaaheyaan (then director of the Iranian Secret Service) said: We have tried everything with Mohammad Shirazi to no avail, we can only kill him!!

He said: When my father died I did not feel the loss of a father because I felt from my older brother, the deceased, everything that a son feels from his father, so today I have lost two fathers.

The Martyr had appointed Ayatollaah al-Odhmaa Sayyed Saadiq Shirazi as his successor. After his assassination, the secret service also attempted to assassinate his successor
