Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslim Raeisi’s message is as follows: 

In the Name of God 

The deaths and injuries of a large number of Arbaeen mourners in Nigeria created a very deep sorry and sadness in my heart. Innocent Shi’ites of Nigeria have been excruciated by their arrogant rulers for several years. However, like their honorable leader, Shaykh Zakzaky, these people never gave up their resistance against these cruel rulers.   

Nigeria’s recent terrorist attack which is in line with that of Samarra was another invasion supported by the Muslims’ enemies, in their wishful delusions, vanish the Ashura movement and kill it off.   

However, these roots of evil and rancor have to know that such incidents will never stop the will great Muslim nationsl for the eternal fight against the world’s arrogant powers and the bright route of our martyred lord, Imam Hussain (as), and his 72 companions is the constant light of guidance for these glorious nations.  

Condemning this painful incident, I want, from the vicinity of the Razavi Shrine, God to provide this incident’s martyrs and their families with high ranks and abundant reward and good patience respectively. 

Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi, 

Sayyid Ibrahim Raeisi
