Allama Sayyid Abu al-fadl Burqaʻi (19 June 1908 – 1993) (also spelled as Abul Fazl Borqei or borghei or borghaii, Persian: سید ابوالفضل ابن الرّضا برقعی) was an Ayatollah in Qom.[citation needed] who was critical of Shiite beliefs. He left Shī’aism and converted to Sunnīsm, after carefully studying the Qur'an. He authored 40 books refuting Shi'ism, after previously writing 30 books trying to defend Shi'ism. Subsequently, he was repeatedly harassed by Shias and eventually had to leave Qom.[citation needed]
Birth
Allama Sayyid Abu al-fadl Burqa'i was an Iranian clerk and religious scholar. He was born at Qom on 19 June 1908. His father name was Sayyid Hassan who was the son of a religious scholar Sayyid Ahmed. His mother Skeena Sultan was the daughter of a well-known cleric.
Education
When he was ten or twelve years old, he got admission into Madrassah Radvi and continued his religious studies there. He authored a number of books, among these books 35 are in defense of Shiah and later, he wrote 40 books in which he criticized shiahs rituals and dogmas. He was a teacher or professor at the Qom Howzah Elmieh Qom, where he taught Rasael, makaseb[1] and fiqh for more than 20 years. Due to his reformist views he was soundly beaten there in Qom Howzah by seminarians and was fired from the Howzah by Ayatollah Borojredi. He became prayer leader of Masjid Wazeer guzar Daftar in Tehran, where he continued his work as a leader of Jummah prayer and congregational prayers for 27 years.
Borqei wrote against the erroneous beliefs and aberrations in religious practices among his Shia countryman. He was considered the most learned mujtahid by many Iranians.[citation needed] He was against ghuluww and tafweez. He was against seeking the help of imams in prayers.[citation needed]
