Mohammad Bagher was born in 1926, in Kan District, Tehran.[4] He is the father of Ali Bagheri and older brother of Mohammad-Reza Mahdavi Kani.[5] He was taught Islamic jurisprudence and Interpretation of Quran under Ruhollah Khomeini, Hossein Borujerdi, Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i, and Mohammad-Reza Golpaygani while attending his Islamic Studies in Qom Seminary.[6] He was also the head of Imam Sadiq University from December 2014 to September 2015.[4] One of his sons, Mesbah Bagheri Kani, was married to Hoda Khamenei, daughter of Iran's second Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
