Shaheed Ayatullah Ibrahim Raisi was born in Mashhad. When he was about 5 years old, his father passed away. He lived in a simple house in a simple neighborhood. Greatness is only achieved from humble beginnings. Syed Hasan Nasrullah, Ayatullah Sistani, and many other great scholars sent their condolences. His elderly mother is still alive (about 90 years old). He had 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. Whenever he would visit Qum, he would visit the great scholars and take advice from them. Some of them would consider him their son. On the Wiladah of Imam al-Ridha (a) he was elected as the President, exactly 3 years later, he responded to the call of his Lord. May Allah (swt) raise his status in Jannah. Āmīn.
