🔹The end of a 69-year separation

🔹In the winter of 1958 (1336 SH), I traveled to the holy shrines in Iraq. The reason for this journey was that my late grandfather wanted to send his wife and some of his children on pilgrimage to the holy sites, and he included my mother among them. While we were staying at his house, he said to me, "I will pay for your mother's travel expenses, on the condition that your father pays for yours as well, so that you can accompany them as the only man in the group."
Naturally, there was no possibility of my father coming himself, because if he came, it would have meant bringing the entire family, and that simply wasn't feasible. The pilgrimage cost about five hundred tomans per person. I spoke to my father, and he agreed.
The trip lasted about two months. We traveled through Khorramshahr—the same route we had taken during my childhood journey in 1945 (1324 SH). The difference was that on that earlier trip, we had crossed the border secretly, filled with fear and anxiety. This time, however, everything was straightforward. We simply got into a vehicle, traveled to Shalamcheh, had our passports checked on both the Iranian and Iraqi sides of the border, and then continued without any difficulty to Basra. From Basra, we took the train to Baghdad, stayed several days in Kazimayn, several days in Karbala, several weeks in Najaf, then visited Samarra before returning to Iran.
I, however, remained in Najaf longer than the rest of my family. That, in summary, was our pilgrimage to the holy shrines.
My original purpose in making this journey was not to evaluate the seminary in Najaf. But once I saw it, I developed a deep desire to remain there. I realized that Najaf was a place for serious scholarship and that I ought to stay and study there.
The only way I could remain in Najaf was with my father's approval. My mother was with me, and I could, in one way or another, persuade her. But the real challenge was convincing my father. There was also the financial issue. Naturally, there was no source of income for me in Najaf, nor did I have connections with anyone there. My father would have had to support me financially from Mashhad.
For that reason, I wrote to him several times, earnestly asking for permission to stay. But he never agreed. Each time, he would say, "It isn't possible. You can't."
I knew the conditions in Najaf, but my father had lived there for years and understood the hardships of life in that city far better than I did. In truth, living in Najaf at that time was extremely difficult. People today cannot imagine how hard it was for a seminary student to remain there—unless he possessed an extraordinary longing, whether for worldly achievement or for the Hereafter.
For me, simply being in an environment where every corner was filled with learning, scholarship, and intellectual discussion was inspiring. It was deeply attractive, and I longed to stay. But it was not meant to be.
Another reason my father opposed my staying in Najaf—and later, even my moving to Qom—was that he did not want his children living far away from him. Out of the deep affection he had for us, separation was difficult for him.
Najaf did not work out. Later, when I insisted on going to Qom, I prayed fervently, made vows, and recited devotional supplications until, by the grace of God, the path to Qom was finally opened.
During the period when I was hoping to move to Qom, one of the reasons my father gave for opposing it was this. He would say, "When you go to sleep at night, your blanket slips off. Someone has to come and pull it back over you."
That was how deeply affectionate he was.
