KARBALĀʾ HERITAGE Quarterly Authorized Journal Specialized in Karbalāʾ Heritage

The current research tries to show the cognitive path of sheikh Al Fadhul Al Derbendi in his interpretation to the legitimate texts and his treatment to them. That was in readings in his book (Exear Al Ebadat Fe Israr Al Shehadat). This book is scientifically classified as one of the killing narration books that mentions Al Taf battle and what happened to master of martyrs, Imam Hussein ( died 61 H.) ( p.b.u.h.) there. This research does not investigate everything implied in the book, rather it was selecting what was suitable to its intention. That is the book was not only based on the Al Fadhul's Al Derbendi views but it has great side that Al Derbendi did not go beyond the texts meanings and what events that restrict and interpret its meanings.

The current research is considered as a statistical study to Shereaf Al Ulema’a’s Al Mazinderani Al Ha’iri heritage (1246 H.). After a brief biography to his life, the study tries to collect his hidden heritage in the libraries through verifying his manuscripts heritage and it is not bound to verifying his classified manuscripts, rather it tries to recollect separated reported manuscripts of his jurisprudence and Ousul lessons by his students for he was one of the biggest scholars of holy Kerbala school. The research has two sections:
The first: his publications manuscripts where the research investigated ten publications manuscripts.
The second: his manuscripts reports which has two sides:
a. The jurisprudence reports, where four manuscripts were verified.
b. The Ousul reports , we counted 26 items varied manuscripts and published.
The research ended with some conclusions such as rareness of Shereaf Al Ulema’a’s Al heritage and what was verified and published was only very little.

Seyed Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani was a thinker, researcher, interpreter, and a fighter. He had an honorable role in defending Islamic religion principles through his intellectual activity represented by issuing many books that clarifies original Islamic truth. One of these books ( Al Hai’ih we Al Islam) where he stated the concord and connection between religion of Islam and the pure scientific cases. He also published ( science of journal) which was the first Iraqi Arabic journal in holy Najaf in 1910 with an aim to serve religion and science. Moreover, he established many associations to spread religion of Islam, such as ( Islam service association )in Al Adhemeyah, ( Islamic university) in Misan, ( reform association) in Bahrain, and many others.
Al Sherhstani took care with woman rights where he assured her role in Islam. He stated her influential impact in creating a good society and he emphasized woman right in teaching and her equity with the man in this respect. Al Sherhstani assured fighting ( jihad) against the British occupation to Iraq in 1914 AD.; then, he was really a scientist, innovator, and a defender to Islam to return to its originality the way that the prophet ( p.b.u.h.) spread it.

The holy Islamic law ( Sharia) had much interest with the previous laws. It displayed some of their rules and rituals through the holy Quran and the prophet’s instructions (Sunah). However, the holy Quran was calling people to believe in those laws as a whole for these laws belong to Allah for his prophets and messengers to inform their people. This is in addition to that all laws share the faith principles. Allah ordered to respect the previous heaven religions and doctrines that Allah descended before their deviation by some people. But, unfortunately, what is left only deviated verses written by people who are away from their time of descending and ascribed them to the prophets (p.b.u.t.) and their law, to the extent that these deviations became laws inherited from one generation to another. So, they not only believe in them and work according to their principles, rather propagate them in every opportunity. Thus the nations’ situation became as Allah described “each sect exulting in its tenets”.
The pages in our hands which was written before one hundred years is a good example of the call to Allah Almighty for the expert seyed Hibet ul Din Al Husseini Al Shehristani as an example of scholar, active man, and the reformer who tried, in every opportunity to embody to the nation the divine call reliability through stating the holy beliefs, dismissing forgery, myths, and absurd; and showing their corruption which were intended to ascribe to these beliefs. In this nice conversation of this book, we find reliability of that scientific style which based on the mental evidence, proof, and philosophy.

The manuscript contained 43 pages written by the author’s ( May Allah rest his soul) hand. He classified them in holy Najaf in 1322 H. as he mentioned that at its end. The manuscript is in an excellent condition with clear writing. After Basmelah ( in the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful) the study starts with “ thanks to God who honored us with poetry … etc”. Then, the author divides the study topic into a preface, two requirements, and a complementation.
The preface has four introductions: prosody definition, its subject, its purpose, and its establisher. The first requirement was about the principles. It included the principle meaning, the difference between poetry and prose, the principle parts. The second requirement was concerned with prosody that has no changes. It has some points. The first is about scanning. The second is about the famous meters. The third is about the standard in prosody and verses. The fourth is devoted to changing and ordering meters. The fifth is about the standard and the variety of meters and measures. The sixth is concerned with ordering contrived meters and classifying them. They are ten. The double meter of two different bases that have one hundred images. He chose twenty meters, the created meters and there are also. The seven matter is about deconstructing meters mentioning the meters groups.
Finally, in measure obstacles, these are the poet’s permission and restricted permissions. It has four sections. The first is about the wisdom of permission reasons. The second is concerned with vowels and the way of its recognition. The third is in limiting the permissions. The fourth is in explaining the permissions, then he mentioned ten uses and ended the study.
The author has amendments to his speech where he proved them all in the verification. When he ended, he put his stamp and date of publication, that was in 1322 H. in Najaf of Al Imear ( p.b.u.h.).
All praise is due to God, prayer and peace be upon our master and prophet Mohammed and his progeny.

All praise is due to God, prayer and peace be upon our master and prophet Mohammed and his progeny, the light of right guidance whom God removed all impurity from them and to make them completely pure.
Islamic nation heritage had important space of action and speech to intelligent people who bravely defended it by all means. It is well-known that our Islamic heritage was a place of attraction to the orientalists in all their schools to penalize to search in its slips to show and exploit them. It is also to make readers get away of Islam religion. The result is known, that is reluctance and fighting Islam. Luckily, Allah granted us with our great scholars who sacrificed their time and with what they possessed to dismiss doubts that it was accused with.
In our hands, one of the scientific effort that seyed Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani exerted to reply the orientalists’ opinions in the Islamic heritage. That happened when the famous Egyptian historian, Hassan Habshi asked him to read his translation to the book “Spain Muslims History” the orientalist Dutch Rinehart Dozy. So, seyed Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani criticized it. We found some papers with his grandson seyed Iyad Al Sherhstani when the author Al Sherhstani did its scientific formation well. It came under the title’ A message in Dozy’s criticism to Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani’. seyed Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani summed up his scientific replies in nine basic points. One of these, for example, is limiting the scientific mistakes that Dozy committed, date of Ismail’s Ibn Imam Sadiq (p.b.u.h.) death and accusing Ismaili sect by unbelief and atheism in accord with the historical research methodology, We classified our research into three sections. The first tried to show the scientific and personal biographical features of seyed Hibt ul Din Al Sherhstani. The second contained the materialistic material nature that Al Sherhstani employed. The verified text was included in the third section where our work was limited by returning back seyed Iyad Al Sherhstani employments To their historical origins, in addition to clarifying some ambiguous expressions. The margin was our scientific areas for this purpose. We pray Allah Almighty that we succeded in our current task asking his consent The Day when neither wealth nor sons shall benefit except him who comes before Allah with a pure heart.

Heritage is considered an important and basic source in forming the nation identity since it is the deep rooted origin which connects the nation present with its past.
On this base, the research worked to verify the poet manuscript divan (Ferej ul Allah’s Al Huwaizi Al Ha’iri) due to the divan significance which underlines in shedding the light on this poet personality and the poetic movement characteristics in that century as well as understanding nature of the scientific and cultural life in that century.

The Twentieth Revolution in Iraq is considered one of the most important revolution that happened in modern Iraqi history. It is a historical, political, and social turning to Iraqi people and a beginning for establishing the new Iraqi state. It overthrew the British planning that was drawn to Iraq. It also unified Iraqi people under one popular leadership Iraqi people categories under leadership of the religious reference which was headed by the religious reference Mohammad Teqi Al Sherazi who declared the legitimate permission to start revolution by his historical fatwa which was considered the basic stone to start the revolutionary work against occupation.
People of Kerbala played a significant and effective role in the Twentieth Revolution against the British occupation when they made Kerbala their revolution headquarter through the role that this holy city played in preparing and organizing meetings held by nobles and sheikhs of Iraqi cities. They rejected all types of oppression, injustice, and submission. Presence of religious reference, Mohammad Teqi Al Sherazi in Kerbala had great importance in attracting and gathering people around the revolution decision source represented by the religious reference and pushing them to stand against the British. This was in addition to the pioneer role of Kerbala people after the revolution outbreak in supporting the rebellions, supplying the fronts, and sending helps to the firing fronts as well as the heroic stand of Kerbala people against the occupation by establishing a local government to run the city affairs. Religious scholars› fataws were welcomed in all over the country and many people joined the fighters. This indicates the deep connection between people and their references within the religion foundation.
