"Professor Mahmood Hesabi was born in Tehran in 1903 (1281, A.H. Solar). His parents were from Tafresh. At the age of four his family moved to Syria and at the age of seven he moved to Beirut and while tolerating difficult situations and poverty he started his education at elementary school far from the home land in a French Priests' School. At the same time his mother,who was dedicated, religious and knowledgeable woman, started teaching him Persian Literature and religious education.
Hesabi memorized Quran and he had very strong belief in it. He also memorized Hafez's Diwan and had completed proficiency in Saadi's Bustan and Golestan, Ferdowsi's Shahname, Molavi's (Rumi's) Masnavi and Ghaem Magham's Monshaat.
At that time when 15 thousand people were volunteers to attend Einstein's class he had the chance to be one of the 5 chosen once.
