In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
It was suggested to me to write a few words in commemoration of the great martyr Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin the late Haj Sayyid `Abdul-Husayn Dastaghayb «1»- may his grave be blessed.
The memory of this martyr is alive in the heart of the lovers of virtue and the loyal Iranian nation. The altar of the mosque of Shiraz will not forget the angelic tune of this martyr. The humanizing lessons he imparted to committed individuals are eternal. Dastaghayb ascended to heaven and departed to be in the presence of God. Though his is gone, he lives an eternal life in the presence of God. Those godless people, are bent on murdering these leader of virtue and great wayfarers toward the Beloved, are against virtue and truth. They think that by such inhuman acts, of the lovers of martyrdom and those aspiring to meet God. They have not experienced the taste of faith in God and love for Him and are like bats who run away when the sun rises. They are dead because they want to block the road to truth and destroy Islam by carrying out their heinous acts. The Omnipotent God revealed the great Islam and ensured its preservation. God will safeguard Islam. I beseech God to bestow mercy upon these martyrs, especially this martyr, who was mentor of morality and dedicated to self-edification, and to grant patience and reward to his survivors.
May God's peace be upon His righteous servants.
