The summit was held at the historic residence of late Allamah Sayyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai , who himself had been a great scholar and a matchless Quranic interpreter in contemporary history.
The summit was attended by several university and seminary scholars, academics and intellectuals
Tabataba'i was one of the most prominent thinkers of philosophy and contemporary Shia Islam.
The scholar is also well-known for Tafsir al-Mizan, the Quranic exegesis. “Shia in Islam” is among several other significant works left by the great Muslim scholar who has been translated into several languages.
Tabatabai had well command over philosophy, mysticism, Hadith and Tafsir. His academic legacy is becoming increasingly popular among scholars and academic figures.
Imam Khomeini, the father of Islamic Revolution had described the event of passing away of Allamah Tabatabai as a great loss for the Muslim society.
