AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a message offering condolences over the passing of Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani, the President stated that while protecting religious values, Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani was actively present in the stronghold of the Revolution, stating, "There is no doubt that his everlasting works and his spiritual behaviour will always be an inspiration and a beacon for scholars, clerics and seminaries".
The President's condolence message is as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
We are all from Allah and indeed to Him we shall return
The demise of the top Shiite authority, Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani, caused great sorrow and grief.
This great scholar, who was one of the prominent students of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, Hojjat and Golpayegani, and after the Islamic Revolution was a member of the first Assembly of Experts and for some time was the secretary of the Guardian Council, had deep religious insight, asceticism and simplicity and a heart full of love for Islam and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), especially Imam Mahdi (AS) and dedicated his precious life to the struggle for the spread of Islamic knowledge and the Islamic system.
This high-ranking marja, while protecting religious values, was actively present in the stronghold of the Revolution, and there is no doubt that his everlasting works and his spiritual behaviour will always be an inspiration and a beacon for scholars, clerics and seminaries.
I offer my condolences for this great loss to the Great Prophet (PBUH), the Supreme Leader, seminaries, his respectful family, and all his followers and disciples.
Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
