Sayyid Murtada Al-Askari (Persian: سید مرتضی عسکری; 4 May 1914 – 16 September 2007), known as Allamah 'Askari, was a Shia scholar and a neo-religious thinker.
150 So-Called Companions, Recourse to the Prophet and Consecration to his Relict, and Abdullah ibn Saba and Other Historical Legends are some of his more significant books.
In the 17th century, Allamah Majlisi invited his ancestors to Saveh (in today's Iran) and gave them the title of Shaykh al-Islam (a position equivalent to the Imam of Friday prayers).
A number of Sunni people converted to Shiism by his ancestors' guidance in the city of Saveh, Allamah 'Askari said.
However, sending money from Iran to Iraq was banned by Reza Shah Pahlavi, who took power in 1925.
[3] 'Askari believed that the educational system designed by the Orientalist for the eastern countries cannot respond to the increasing quandary and development of the Islamic society.
As a result, multiple schools of thought which were built by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari and many prominent historians were refuted.
