The Office of Sayed al-Sistani extends condolences with the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah

The Office of His Eminence the supreme religious authority, Sayed Ali al-Hussayni al-Sistani, issued a statement on the impact of the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah.

And here is the text of the statement:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

"Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ˹with their lives˺, others are waiting ˹their turn˺. They have never changed ˹their commitment˺ in the least." (Ahzab:23)

We received with deep sorrow the news of the martyrdom of Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, along with several of his comrades in the Lebanese resistance and many innocent civilians, in the tragic massacre carried out by the Israeli army in Beirut’s southern suburb.

The great martyr was a unique leader in recent decades. He played a distinguished role in the victory over the Israeli occupation by liberating the Lebanese territories, had shown support to the Iraqis with everything he could in liberating their country from ISIS terrorists, and also took great positions in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people until he paid with his precious life a price for that.

As we extend our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the dear Lebanese people and to all other oppressed peoples in this great suffering and great loss, we pray to Almighty Allah to cover the happy deceased with his mercy and compassion and to bring him together with his Masters Mohammad and his holy Household in the highest, and to inspire his family and all the bereaved by his loss of patience and fortitude. “Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return.”
