Shaykh Abu al-Fazl's petition to Aqa Mirza Sadiq

Shaykh Abu al-Fazl's petition to Aqa Mirza Sadiq

Shaykh Abu al-Fazl the preacher from Ganjah writes to Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Mirza Sadiq about the government council of Ganjah’s intervention in his preaching to ask him to talk about the education of girls and the progress of the Armenians and Russians who have educated their daughters. Shaykh Abu al-Fazl did not cooperate and was thus exiled. He eventually started teaching in Ahar, but complains about the hardship there and requests Mirza Aqa Sadiq’s assistance.
