A thorough understanding of the characters, attitudes, and lifestyles of renowned scholars is of paramount importance for any nation. Dr. Hasan Habibi (1936-2012) was a prominent figure in science, theology, literature, and culture of Iran. The late Dr. Habibi was a pious and patriotic politician who was fully committed to safeguarding the pillars of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolution. In this article, we aim to review some of his works and explore the memories of his family and acquaintances in the hope to shed some light on his manners, viewpoints, and lifestyle. Moreover, the first author’s personal remembrances of the late Dr. Habibi and his moral virtues are presented here, particularly with focus on his final years during which he was bedridden for a long period. Moreover, we aim to illuminate his ideas in terms of promoting science, supporting scholars, and building the infrastructure needed to expand the boundaries of science. We hope that this article will provide a model both for bedridden patients in Iran and the physicians and researchers who deal with them on a daily basis.

Keywords: Hasan Habibi, medical ethics, renowned scholars, prominent scientists, Iran
