The Leader of the Islamic Revolution expressed his condolences on the passing of Hujjatul-Islam Sayyid Ja'far Murtaza Al-Ameli

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,


I sadly received the news of the death of the industrious and devout scholar, Mr. Sayyid Jafar Murtaza, in Lebanon. With his valuable, extensive and well-researched works on the history of the early days of Islam, in powerful prose and eloquent style, this honorable scholar has done a great service to the Islamic world and has fulfilled an important cultural need. I express my condolences to his respectable family, his relatives, and to the scholarly community of Lebanon. I ask Allah to bestow divine blessings and forgiveness on him and resurrect him with his immaculate ancestors (in the Hereafter).
