In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I have known him for around twenty years. Mahdi Araqi was not just one person; he was literally twenty persons. Haj Mahdi Araqi meant like a good and dear son or a beloved brother to me. His martyrdom was too grave for me, but what makes it easy to endure is that it happened for the sake of God. May his martyrdom be blessed for all the Muslims. He deserved martyrdom. Dying in bed was so humiliating for him.
[The Martyr's brother:" We are so proud that we have donated a gift to the threshold of Hadrat Master of the Age, and his deputy, Imam Khomeini.]
This is an offering for God.
[The Martyred Araqi's young child:" My father bowed but to two individuals: first, to the late Nawwab Safawi, and second, to Imam Khomeini. And though we have lost those two persons, I am glad that we have won the hearts of millions of people.]
You have God, Who is above any power.
