In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
We are from God and to Him shall we return
The sad departure of the committed and just `alim serving Islam and Muslims Hadrat Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mr. Haj Aqa Husayn Khadimi (may God's peace be upon him) caused great sorrow. This pious `alim was indeed a sincere servant of canonical law and guardian of the laws of Islam and a model of piety, knowledge and action for others. His death was a loss to Islam and theological seminaries. The like of these personalities who are reminiscent of the righteous predecessors and paradigms of noted men of knowledge and piety is that of reservoirs of knowledge and piety. We should appreciate their value whole heartedly, by following in their footsteps in their lifetime and also after death. I extend my condolences to the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for him), the noble people of Iran, particularly the distinguished `ulama' and holy theological seminaries as well as the respected people of Isfahan on this loss. I also condole his esteemed family and implore God to grant them patience and spiritual reward. May God grant this prominent `alim and dear guest his proximity vicinity and provide him with His special favours. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon the righteous servants!
