Mr. Hossein Ebrahimi Avval

Mr. Hossein Ebrahimi Avval 31 years old from Mashhad. He is a married man who has three children. He has been in Navab Hawza for 6 years as a Talabe/Student. Regarding to his explanation one of the main reasons that Hossein decided to become a clergyman was the Spiritual Dimension. He said that base on his grade at high school it could be possible to apply for any university to study any subject in law and become a judge, lawyer and etc. And he still have that mystical passion. His prophecy and goal is to not only learn and study the religion but feeling or observing it and then help one another to do the same. He said one of the biggest weakness in between Tolabs is that some of us purposely or not are behaving in a way that make people feel we look down on them. Mr. Ebrahimi said I do the opposite instead and that makes him a very successful person in his career. He said if we follow and observe this principle then it would be a better connection between us. This gentleman is a very active person in social networks to help or direct youth to learn how to be a better human being. He complained about some networks for stealing his articles without mentioning his name. In his personal life he has so much respect for his wife and children by spending time with them. Mr. Ebrahimi most often makes his wife happy by giving her a flower. ©YedFoto. 2018

He has been studying in Navab School for about 6 years and being satisfied so far. He is interested in sports such as ping pong, swimming and football. I asked what was the main reason you decided to become a clergyman? Before I share his answer I need to explain the subject among Muslim that is The Re-appearance of Imam Mehdi. There is no confusion or difference of opinion among the Muslim scholars about the arrival of Imam Mehdi before the Doomsday. In a hadith, unanimously accepted by all Muslims as an authentic one, the Holy Prophet stressed that Imam Mehdi will certainly come before the commencement of the Doomsday. That being said, the reason Mr. Takmili has became a clergyman is the pleasure of being Imam Mehdi’s soldier in his Re-appearance. At this moment he does proselytize Islam among teenagers or even younger and also teaching. His wife was studied at Hawza but after graduating she preferred to be a housewife. ©YedFoto. 2018
