Hawzah News Agency- The text of the condolence message of the head of Iran’s seminaries is as follows:

"To God We Belong and To God We Return"

The passing away of the revolutionary scholar and pious mujahid Ayatollah Emami Kashani (may God bless him and grant him peace) was a cause of sorrow and grief.

His committed and sincere efforts in the path of uplifting Islam and the Islamic revolution began with political activities against the Pahlavi regime in the early years of the formation of the movement of Late Imam Khomeini and reached its peak by playing an effective role in the institutions of the system, such as the Guardian Council, the Assembly of Leadership Experts and The Expediency Council.

More than fourteen decades of instructive speeches of that humble cleric in the position of Friday Imamate of Tehran and scientific and cultural service to the noble people of Tehran have created a lasting image of that honorable scholar in the minds of the people, and God willing, by the grace of God, he will be given a worthy position in the Eternal House. also, his distinguished role in managing Shahid Motahari Seminary School and expanding scientific and cultural centers in Tehran and throughout the country, is one of the lasting works of the late Ayatollah.

While appreciating his years of unquestionable efforts, I offer my condolences to the Supreme Leader, the seminaries, his relatives and students and devotees, especially the honorable people of Tehran, and may God grant him rest in heaven and forgiveness. I wish endless patience for the bereaved and abundant and lasting reward for the survivors.
