In the name of God

The news of the martyrdom of Hujjat al-Islam Haj Abbas Ali Soleimani (may God have mercy on him) caused a lot of pain and sorrow.

A pious and valuable scholar who for many years the noble people of Sistan and Baluchistan provinces, Mazandaran and Kashan city benefited from his grace.

His purity, perseverance and diligent presence in the southeast of Iran for many years caused the creation of harmony among different tribes and religions and thwarted the enemy's plot.

For this unfortunate loss, I offer my condolences to the seminaries, the noble people of Iran and his adherents, especially to his patient family, and I ask God Almighty for patience and great reward for the survivors.

Peace be upon you and may God have mercy on you
