Rasūl Jaʿfarīyān continuing with the project of publishing travelogues (especially those relating to pilgrimage) is about to publish an interesting travelogue from 1924 by Mirzā Ḥasan Iḥqāqī (b. Karbala 1900, d. Tehran 2000) leader of the #Shaykhīya #Tabriz #Karbala #Kuwait 1/ 
Mirzā Ḥasan was the grandson of Mirzā Muḥammad Bāqir Uskūʾī (1815-1884) the founder of the tradition, and the son of Mirza Mūsā (b. Karbala 1863, d. Karbala 1945), the scholar of the family whose Iḥqāq al-ḥaqq is the reason for the family name #Iḥqāqī 2/
He succeeded his brother ʿAlī (b. Najaf 1887, d. Kuwait 1966) as leader of the #Tabriz #Karbala branch of the #Shaykhīya moving from #Tehran to Kuwait, further cementing the relationship with political and merchant elites in #Kuwait 3/
