Turkish newspaper remembers blind scholar who traveled on food from Istanbul to Karbala and Najaf

The semi-official Turkish newspaper, Hurriyet, recalled one of the clerics in Turkey who spent his life and scientific journey in the path of AhlulBayt, peace be upon them.

In an editorial, the newspaper said, “Among the most prominent things known about the scholar and poet Al-Milam (Kamali), in addition to his poems dedicated to explaining the virtues of the people of the House of Prophethood (peace be upon them) and the amount of his love for them, is his travel from Istanbul to the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala on foot through his insight after losing sight.”

The Turkish research site, Ayvakti, described Kamali, who was born in 1862 AD in the village of Golokoy in one of the suburbs of the Erzurum region, as “one of the men of knowledge and wisdom.”
