Hawzah News Agency- the text of the condolence message of Ayatollah Arafi, head of Iran’s Seminary, is as follows:

In the name of God

The news of demise of Mujahid scholar Hujjat al-Islam, Haj Sheikh Ali Yavar Eftekhari, caused a lot of grief and sorrow.

The late deceased dedicated his honorable life academically and culturally and made many efforts in the field of Jihad and defending the oppressed people of Afghanistan.

Establishing a mosque, a school, a library and a scientific and cultural complex in Afghanistan and presenting religious and cultural articles, trying to establish unity between Islamic religions are some of the efforts and services of that noble scholar to the Afghan society.

The seminaries management center offers its condolences on the demise of this wise scholar to Hazrat Baqiyatallah al-Azam, the people of Afghanistan, scholars and intellectuals, especially the seminaries and the family of the deceased.

I pray to Almighty God for that pious scholar's divine forgiveness, and for the survivors, I ask God for patience and great reward.
