He helped Ayatollah Khomeini in his revolution against the Shah of Iran. Later he started a political reformist movement in his country. Within a few months of the Islamic Revolution, in 1979, he was forced to leave Kuwait with his family[1] as the authorities sought to prevent an Islamic Revolution in the state (Ghabra, S.N. 1995).
Abbas Almohri's family members are Kuwaiti nationals.[2] His eldest son Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Almohri was one of the most respected scholars in Kuwait. He was Imam of Shaban mosque (after his father) in Sharq, Kuwait. His younger son Ayatollah Sayyed Mortadha Almohri is a known former jurisprudence student of Ayatollah Sistani.[3][4]
