Leader’s message of condolence on the demise of Mr. Muhammad Reza Hakimi

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei, issued a message of condolence on the demise of the great Islamic scholar, Mr. Muhammad Reza Hakimi. Imam Khamenei's message, issued on August 23, 2021, is as follows:

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

With deep regret and sorrow, I have received the news of the demise of the prominent scholar and intellectual, Mr. Muhammad Reza Hakimi (may God bless his soul). He was a learned scholar, an accomplished literary man, an innovative thinker, and an Islamic researcher working for justice. Independent of worldly desires, he spent his life serving the elevated teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, and he left behind great works.

Having benefited from the valuable, spiritual presence of great masters of knowledge and spirituality in the holy city of Mashhad had brought this dear personage a deep reliance on God, devotion and richness of character. This helped him to remain strong and upright until the end of his blessed life. I offer my condolences on the loss of this old friend to Hakimi’s honorable family, especially his noble brother, as well as to all the friends and admirers of the deceased, and I ask for God's mercy and forgiveness for him.
