The Martyr Abu Mahdi (may God be satisfied with him) was a luminous, devout, brave man. Looking at him, one could see a true-life example of “illuminate my face with your light.” He had a luminous, spiritual, divine face. Martyr Soleimani was able to do great work with the help of such devout, brave, luminous people.
Imam Khamenei, Jan 8, 2020
