The speech of the office of His Eminence, the Grand Ayatollah, the Great Religious Authority, Sheikh Bashir Hussain Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) on the first anniversary of the martyrdom of Hajj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Hajj Qasim Soleimani and their companions.


In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate,  the Most Merciful

Praise be to Allah for what he blessed and gave, and thanks for what he inspired and gave, and blessings and peace be upon the master of the two universes and the honorable messengers Muhammad bin Abdullah and his family of the oppressed and the righteous, and the curse on their enemies from the first and others until the Day of Judgment.

Allah Almighty said: : (الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ، أُولَـئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ) (who, when afflicted with calamity, say: we belong to Allah and to Him we return, to them those prayers from their Lord and mercy, and those are the rightly guided), (لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتاً بَلْ أَحْيَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ) (do not think those killed in the way of Allah dead, but alive with their Lord), (لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الأَبْصَار). (Do not think Allah is oblivious to what the wrongdoers do, but He only delays them for a day on which the eyes are directed towards Allah)

Allah is the highest the most truthful

The memory of the martyrs of virtue passes on us, who, with their brave and noble stances, embodied beams of light on the core of history to enlighten the path of the mujahideen for the sake of truth, defend Islamic sanctities and protect the dear Islamic homeland in the face of the tyrants of the world (the martyr Haji Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis) (and the martyr Haj Qassem Soleimani) and their companions.

We have to remember their dignified lives that they exerted for the sake of the homeland and upholding the word of truth. Their strive and service to the homeland was not confined to the Islamic Republic of Iran and dear Iraq, the focus of the graves of the pure imams. Rather, their efforts pervaded a multitude of Islamic regions and outside the two great countries. They paved the way for the faithful in the areas covered by their efforts and sacrifices. Their courageous and noble attitudes and instilled in the souls love of the homeland and love of pride and dignity.

We must sanctify the souls of these pure martyrs and their souls will remain the torch of guidance, so we must all pledge to them and all the martyrs of Islam throughout history to protect the flag of Islam high until we hand it over to the grandson of the founder of Islamic law, the Awaited Imam (Allah Almighty hastened his reappearance).

I pray to Allah Almighty to bless these two good men with high degrees in the gardens of eternity in a seat that was believed by Allah through the intercession of Muhammad and his family (peace be upon them).
