He was born on the anniversary of the birth of Fatima AlZahra in 1909 (hence his name). He became prevalent in 1970s Iraq, at the peak of the Baa’th movement, to which he openly opposed. Speaking out against the tyrannical and oppressive government led to his – and many other scholars and activists who spoke out – torture and oppression in the worst possible ways, and even imprisonment, at the hands of the Baa’th party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of his major contributions to the current Hussaini gatherings was the way he recited the maqtal (the story of what happened in Karabala).
