Hawzah News Agency- the text of the message of Head of Islamic Seminary Ayatollah Alireza Arafi is as follows:

Dear brother, Sheikh Na'im Qassim

With renewed condolences and expression of great sorrow for martyrdom of the late secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah, the master of martyrs of resistance, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah as well as his sincere comrade, Hujjat ul-Islam Seyyed Hashim Safieddine, and other martyred commanders of the Resistance Front and the honorable Hezbollah, I thereby congratulate the deserving appointment of Your Excellency as the secretary General of Hezbollah as someone with old record and valuable experience in resistance, management and jihad.

I ask the Almighty God that you tread this path like the two dear Seyyeds and stride the path of honor and victory for Lebanon, the Resistance Front and the Islamic world.

God willing, we will soon pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque under the lead of the commanding Seyyed Imam Khamenei, may Allah prolong his life, following the victory of the Resistance Front.

Alireza A'rafi
Head of the Islamic Seminary
