The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei on June 11, 2007 issued a condolatory message on the demise of the committed clergyman Ayatollah Hajji-Aqa Hassan Tabataba'i Qomi. In his message, the Leader condoled with the esteemed family and honorable progeny of the deceased. The text of the Leader's message is as follows: ...
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I express my condolence over the demise of the committed clergyman the late Ayatollah Hajji-Aqa Hassan Tabataba'i Qomi to the senior ulama and Islamic seminaries of the holy city of Mashhad and to all the faithful and revolutionary residents of that city, especially to the adherents and associates of the deceased and in particular to his esteemed family and honorable progeny.
A major part of the blessed lifetime of this dedicated Islamic jurisprudent was spent in struggling against the former tyrannical regime, and his fervent orations increased the ardor of the struggling forces.
The sufferings and hardships resulting from imprisonment and exile were not able to undermine the firm determination of this magnanimous clergyman and stop his efforts until the time of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
I pray to Almighty Allah to raise his status in the hereafter and associate him with His friends and dignified saints.
Greetings be upon him and Allah's mercy and blessings
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
