The following is the full text of the message issued on November
5, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic
Revolution, on the demise of Habibollah Asgar-Oladi (may God bestow
paradise on him).
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I received
the news of the demise of Mr. Hajj Habibollah Asgar-Oladi- sincere
mujahid and the loyal and trustworthy companion of our late Imam- with
great sadness and regret.
This
tireless warrior spent his entire blessed life rendering services to
Islam and working towards the formation and establishment of Islamic
government. From the time of his youth until the last years of his life,
his great efforts and pure jihad did not lose strength on this path.
During
the time of taghut and from the first days of the revolutionary
activities of our people and the clergy, he was present - alongside our
magnanimous Imam - in dangerous fronts. He patiently endured the pain of
years of imprisonment.
After the victory of the Revolution and
the formation of the Islamic Republic, he rendered genuine services in
sensitive and significant arenas and he did not stop making efforts
until the end of his eventful life.
I ask God to bestow His mercy and blessings on him and I express my condolences to his family and friends.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
