Hawzah News Agency- the text of Shia source of emulation Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi's message following the martyrdom of scholar Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon is as follows:

In the name of Allah, the Merciful

The news of the martyrdom of Mujahid scholar, the late Secretary General of Hezbollah, Hujjat al-Islam Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, filled the hearts of all Muslims and freedom seekers in the world with grief.

The martyrdom of Mujahideen for God's path is neither defeat nor humiliation; Rather, it is the desire of the heart and the highest reward and divine blessing for them.

During these years, the people of Lebanon and Palestine and the Islamic nation enjoyed his wise leadership in the war against the Zionist regime and they will never forget his sincere bravery; the flag of resistance will always remain flying high and the enemy will not achieve his wish, for on this path, there are many warriors and loyalists who, with a sincere desire for Sayyed al-Shohada (PBUH) and a firmer determination, have followed the path of their great martyrs and with God's help, they will humiliate the bloodthirsty Zionists, God willing.

On my part, I congratulate and condole the martyrdom of Seyyed of Islamic Resistance to Hazrat Wali Asr (PBUH), the resistant fighters of Hezbollah, the zealous people, the proud scholars of Lebanon, and the general freedom-loving Muslims, especially his noble family, and I ask almighty God for the elevation of his ranks, and the patience and reward for the survivors, and the victory of all; I pray for the axis of resistance and the destruction of the criminal Zionists. I also pray to God for the defeat and humiliation of the enemies of Islam and the arrogant people of the world.
