To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return
With great sorrow, we received the news of the death of Ayatollah, Sheikh Hussein Ali Muntaziri, who was one of the Mujahideen religious scholars who accompanied the Iranian Islamic Revolution since its early beginnings. He was one of the cultural and jurisprudential figures who enriched the Islamic library of jurisprudence and Islamic thought in general with his valuable works. His departure is a great loss, and we pray for Allah to shower him with His mercy, and make Heaven his abode, and to compensate his loss for the Muslims at the level of religious sciences. We also pray for Allah to grant his family patience and great reward, He is the Most Merciful.
