In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Shahrivar 15,1359 AHS

One year has passed since the demise of this worthy character; this dear, valuable person. One year has passed since the death of a man who could have done great services to the Islamic Revolution and advance of the holy goals of Islam. He could have been a source of relief and peace to the agitated society by his speech and conduct. That great warrior and wise scholar spent his life, from the beginning of his youth until his last days, in the cause of Islam and the struggle for the Muslim countries because of which he was made to suffer, imprisoned and subjected to pressure, but, nonetheless, did not cease his valuable efforts and useful service. He continued his endeavors for his aims and the Revolution. The beloved Taliqani, the dedicated crusader and illustrious campaigner, hastened to the abode of his noble ancestors. God willing, we too will go the same way. At this time when the world powers have mobilized themselves to fight Islam and our country, and the" muftis" (Expounders of Muslim Law) who are serving them have risen and, with the assistance of world Zionism and the satanic powers, are sowing discord among the Muslims, the dear people, by relying on the Omnipotent God and exercising vigilance, ought to maintain their unity and advance with revolutionary zeal. With their unity of expression and the powerful rallying cry of" Allahu Akbar", they must deliver the honorable religion of Islam from the clutches of these satanic powers. They must not fear the army of Satan. The Almighty God is with us as long as we succeed in taking this movement forward for His sake. I ask God to bestow mercy on this honorable crusader and give patience to his esteemed family. It is hoped that the great nation of Iran will appreciate those who serve Islam and the people, and honor the [death] anniversary of this great person. May god's peace be upon His righteous servants.
