He was born in 1945 in Tehran and was raised in a religious family. In addition to regularly attending Quranic educative sessions and religious meetings, he became a member of the Anti-Baha’i Association during his high school years. Due to his commitment and interest in religious issues, he also participated in the meetings of “Hosseinieh Ershad” (a place for holding religious ceremonies such as mournings, chest beatings, and even religious festivals and celebrations), and lectures at Al-Jawad Mosque. After receiving a diploma in mathematics, he continued his studies in mathematics at the Faculty of Science of the University of Tehran and succeeded in obtaining a bachelor’s degree. During his student days, he became acquainted with Mohammad Hayati, a member of the organization. In the early 1970s, he and Mohammad Hayati became associated with each other, but he did not know that a current member of an ideological group. He and Muhammad Hayati together interpreted several sermons (Khotba) of Nahj al-Balaghah (a book of speeches and sermons of Imam Ali), which were later spread among religious and political youth.
Following the big crackdown of August 23, 1971, he was arrested on the 28th of August, and sentenced to three years in prison. At the same time, during his interrogations, his motivation for joining the organization was to “create a society based on Islamic ideology, to perform religious duties before God and the people, and to spread Islam in Iran and the world, and to take practical action to create an Islamic society far from obscenity and wrongdoing”, he said. Akbari Ahangar was released on August 8, 1974, and after a few months, together with Mohsen Tarighat Monfared, he got in touch with the organization and took a secret life. Akbari remained a religious person, but all other members except for himself gradually became Marxists. He actually led the religious section of the organization, which was overseen by the head of the Organization (the MEK). Of course, during his interrogation in 1971, he wrote: “My obedience to the orders of the organization is a subset of obedience to the Quran; “And I will carry out every order when it is within the framework of the instructions of the Holy Quran”. During the [police] patrols of Mohammad Tavakolikha, along with the operational teams of the Joint Committee, on September 28, 1976, Mohammad Hossein Akbari Ahangar and his wife, Sarvar Aladposh, became suspects and were killed by the police.
