The founder spent his childhood in Najaf Al-Ashraf, where he began his education in traditional Quranic schools, learning the Quran, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Later, he attended a modern school established by the “Publishing Forum” Association, where his excellence allowed him to skip directly to the third grade and continue his studies up to the fourth grade. At the age of nine, he left the school to focus on religious studies.

He began his seminary studies under the guidance of his father, learning grammar, rhetoric, logic, principles of jurisprudence, and Islamic law. He then continued his scholarly journey by attending the lessons of leading scholars, including Sayyid Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei, Sayyid Mohsen al-Hakim, Sayyid Muhammad Saeed Fadlallah, Sayyid Mahmoud al-Shahroudi, Sheikh Hussein al-Hilli, and Mulla Sadra al-Qafqazi.

He pursued advanced studies and expanded the scope of his scholarly education by drawing on a wide range of sources. He also attended special vacation courses with Shaykh Abbas Al-Rumaithi and Al-Muhaqqiq Al-Bajnourdi, engaged in jurisprudential and principles-based discussions, and participated in scholarly study sessions. He joined the Hawza in 1363 AH and continued his studies in Najaf al-Ashraf for twenty-two years. After returning to Lebanon, he continued his research and teaching activities.

He was deeply passionate about Arabic culture, reading newspapers and magazines and studying the works of leading literary figures such as Taha Hussein and Al-Zayyat. He also read translations of Lamartine and Anatole France. He co-founded the magazine Al-Adab in collaboration with the martyred Sayyid Muhammad Mahdi Al-Hakim. He composed his first poems at the age of ten, then went on to deepen his knowledge of classical and modern Arabic poetry and became acquainted with free verse. Several poetry collections were published in his name, including O Shadows of Islam, Poems of Islam and Life, On the Shore of Conscience, and On the Paths of Seventy.

He began his cultural and journalistic activities at an early age, publishing a simple handwritten newspaper. He was later elected as a member of the Cultural Council of the Publishing Forum. In 1380 AH, he participated in the launch of Al-Adwa’ magazine and contributed to its editing alongside the martyred Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr and Shaykh Muhammad Mahdi Shams Al-Din, which strengthened his presence in intellectual and cultural circles.
