He then continued and praised the outstanding personality of Lieutenant General Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani and said, “People usually speak about his bravery. Today, I want to give a short account of his sincerity.”
He mentioned a memory of martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani, “General Soleimani came to visit us two or three years ago. At the end of our conversation, he told people to go out of the room. When his companions went out of the room, he took out his shroud and asked me to sign it.”
His excellency added, “this shows that martyr Soleimani was thinking about going since that time and secondly, he did not want people to know that he had brought that shroud. Such a sincerity is really notable and praiseworthy.”
At the end, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi praised the endeavors of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the leader of Nigerian Shia and said, “through effective preaching, he has been able to make a considerable population familiar with the school of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and reviving teachings of Islam.”
