In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Grand Ayatollah Haj Seyyed Mohammad Reza Golpayegani (may his blessings endure)
The sorrowful passing of the late Grand Ayatollah Haj Seyyed Abul-Qasim Khoei (may his soul be sanctified), who was among the eminent scholars of the sacred seminary of Najaf Ashraf and a pillar of Islamic jurisprudence, has caused immense grief and sorrow. He was among the distinguished figures who, for decades, rendered invaluable services to the advancement of Islamic sciences through teaching and solitary authorship and research, leaving behind precious scholarly legacies. May God reward him with the best reward on behalf of Islam and Muslims.
I extend my condolences to you on this great loss. May God preserve and protect your noble presence.
