AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a message, Ayatollah Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, express his condolences on the demise of Allameh Sheikh Mohsen Ali Najafi, a Pakistani prominent scholar, and the founder of Jamiat Al-Kowsar Seminary.
The message is as follows:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
“Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him do we indeed return” (Holy Quran 2:156)
The demise of Allameh Sheikh Mohsen Ali Najafi, commentator of the Holy Quran, teacher of ethics, prominent Pakistani Shiite figure, prominent member of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Assembly of the country caused great grief and sorrow. This diligent mujahid made many efforts in disseminating the message of Islam, the Islamic Revolution, and the discourse of Imam Khomeini (r.a.). He was a figure who believed in the ideals of the late Imam and considered him to be the revivalist of true Islam in the contemporary era.
The late Ayatollah Sheikh Mohsen Ali Najafi graduated from the classes of the elders of Najaf Seminary, including Grand Ayatollah Khoei and Grand Ayatollah Martyr Sadr. He was one of the heralds of Shiite and Sunni unity and a sympathizer for Shiites and AhlulBayt (a.s.) followers in Pakistan. He had scientific ranks and great moral character, and for many years he provided scientific, religious, cultural, and social services. Interpretation of the Quran, writing, and translation of religious texts, construction of mosques and educational centers, charitable services to the needy, and media activities were among the services and blessings of his life, which had great effects on the Pakistani society. The scientific and practical life of this religious scholar in sincere servicing the Al-Thaqalayn (AhlulBayt (a.s.) and the Holy Quran) is a good model for scholars, clerics, and clergy.
I offer my condolences for the loss of this pious scholar to Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, the grand sources of emulation and ulama, and the friendly and brotherly nation of Pakistan, especially the Shiites, and his honorable family and children; and I ask the Almighty God to grant him the highest ranks.
He lived well and passed away well.
