Hawzah News Agency- In a message released on the occasion of the demise of the senior cleric, Ayatollah Sistani said Grand Ayatollah Shobeiri Zanjani was among the most prominent scholars and pillars of the holy seminary of Qom.
The full text of Grand Ayatollah Sistani's message is as follows:
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
"Indeed, we belong to God, and indeed to Him we shall return."
The passing of the exalted religious authority, the jurist of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), Ayatollah Hajj Sayyed Musa Shobeiri Zanjani, is a painful affliction and a great loss.
That honorable figure, who spent his entire blessed life in the path of research and teaching, was among the most prominent scholars and pillars of the holy seminary of Qom, and one of the outstanding examples of a divinely learned scholar.
His precious scholarly works and other religious services are a valuable legacy, and his conduct and practical character will forever remain a lasting model for scholars.
May God elevate his noble station and gather him with his pure and immaculate forefathers.
I, with great sorrow and regret, offer my condolences for this great tragedy to the sacred presence of Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), to the religious seminaries, to the respected family of that blessed departed one — especially his honorable sons — and to all believers, and I ask God Almighty to grant everyone beautiful patience and a great reward.
Ali Husseini Sistani
