In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Of them, some have fulfilled their vow [by death], and some are still waiting, but they have never changed [their determination] in the least.” [Quran: 33: 23]
We received with deep sorrow the news of the martyrdom of Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, along with several of his comrades in the Lebanese resistance and many innocent civilians, in the heinous crime carried out by the Israeli army in Beirut’s southern suburb.
This great martyr was a unique leader in recent decades, playing a prominent role in the victory over the Israeli occupiers and in the liberation of Lebanese lands. He also supported the people of Iraq with all his strength in freeing their country from ISIS terrorists. Moreover, he took shining stances in supporting the oppressed people of Palestine and ultimately sacrificed his valuable life in this path.
We offer our deepest condolences to the dear people of Lebanon and other oppressed nations for this great calamity and immense loss. We beseech Almighty God to envelop this noble martyr in His vast mercy and divine pleasure and to grant him companionship with His awliyāʾ, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his pure household, in the highest ranks of paradise. We also ask God to bestow patience and great reward upon his family and all those grieving for him.
Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.
