Born in Najaf, Iraq, Fadlallah studied Islam in Najaf before moving to Lebanon in 1952.
In the following decades, he gave many lectures, engaged in intense scholarship, wrote dozens of books, founded several Islamic religious schools, and established the Mabarrat Association.
Through the aforementioned association, he established a public library, a women's cultural center, and a medical clinic. Fadlallah was sometimes called the "spiritual mentor" of Hezbollah in the media, although this was disputed by other sources.
He was also the target of several assassination attempts, including the 1985 Beirut car bombing.His death was followed by a huge turnout in Lebanon, visits by virtually all major political figures across the Lebanese spectrum, and statements of condolence from across the greater Middle East region; but it also led to controversy in the west and a denunciation in Israel.
