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

To God We Belong, to God We Return

The demise of the mujahid scholar and pious cleric Hazrat Ayatollah Haj Sheikh Ghiyathuddin Taha Mohammadi (RA) caused grief and sorrow.

A strong and effective presence in the fight against the Pahlavi system, including in the incident of the Feyzieh school, five decades of teaching the Jafari school, strengthening and deepening religious beliefs, serving in the stronghold of Friday Imamate and representing the supreme leader, and providing social and public services with the addition of ethical conduct are among the bright pages of the faithful life of that noble man, which will be a lasting capital for the hereafter.

I offer my condolences for his loss to the bereaved, the students, and devotees, especially the seminary and the noble people of Hamedan province. I ask the Almighty God to raise his ranks in Paradise, I ask God for well-being, dignity, and divine reward for the survivors.

Alireza Arafi

Head of Iran’s Seminary
