Qazi Muhammad, the founder of the Mahabad Kurdish republic, which was founded in Iran’s Kurdistan in 1946 and destroyed in 1947, is being commemorated on the 72^nd anniversary of his death.

Qazi Muhammad, one of the leading leaders of the Muslim Kurdish people, was one of the prominent scholars, commentators, politicians and people's leaders raised by the Islamic Ummah.

Qazi Muhammad, the son of Qadi Ali, one of the leading figures of Mahabad, had become acquainted with Islamic sciences since he was young.

First, he was educated by his father in “Kutabhane”, an Islamic science school, after having served as director of the Mahabad Foundation Department for a period, he was appointed to Qadi [Islamic judge] replaced to his father.

The most important event that brought Qazi Muhammad forward was the Declaration of the ‘Mahabad Kurdish Republic ' on 22 January 1946 in the city of Mahabad of Iran, in Çarçara square.

On January 22, 1946, after the establishment of the Mahabat Kurdish republic, the Council of Ministers with 13 members was established.

President Qazi Muhammad, who then made a speech at the parliament oath ceremony, then prayed: “O Allah, you're a witness that I've done everything I could on your path. In this world and in the hereafter, take revenge of oppressed from the oppressors. My Allah, Who knows everything, save all the oppressed and the Kurdish nation from the yoke of the wrongdoers."

Qazi Muhammad's state was destroyed after one year after the Shah's regime army entered Mahabad on December 17.

President Qazi Muhammad, Prime Minister Haji Baba Sheikh and Defense Minister Mohammed Hussein Khan Seyfi Qazi were hanged and executed on March 31, 1947, in Çarçara Square, the place where the Republic was founded. (ILKHA)
