In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Today is the anniversary of the martyrdom of Martyr Mutahhari who, notwithstanding the brevity of his life, has left everlasting works which came from the rays of an awakened conscience and a soul full of love for Islam. With his flowing pen and powerful mind in analyzing Islamic matters and expressing philosophical truths and with his simple and soothing language, Martyr Mutahhari had dedicated himself toward educating and training the society. All his works, without any exception, are educative and enlivening. His words and sermons that flowed from a heart full of faith and strength of belief were heartening and beneficial for the common man as well as the elite. We were hopeful to be able to gain even more benefits from this rich soul (lit. fruit-laden tree) so that a larger number of worthy scholars can be offered to society. Alas! Criminal hands cut short his life «1» and deprived our youth from benefiting from the pure fruits of this great tree! We are thankful to God that owing to their richness, whatever works this martyred teacher has left behind, shall forever serve as teachers and guides. The late Martyr Teacher Murtada Mutahhari has united unto eternity! May Allah mercifully resurrect him with his Masters!
