the Loving Father: Vignettes from Life of Martyred Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei

An excerpt from the message of Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei regarding the martyred leader:With hearts full of sorrow yet guided by faith, we bid farewell to a devoted father of the ummah-a steadfast and noble leader whom God has called to His eternal presence.Though we are deprived of his earthly presence, the divine light he nurtured continues to shine through the hearts of the faithful and the purity of his teachings.O Leader, your departure has left a profound grief in every heart. Yet we remain grateful to the Almighty for the gift of your life and for allowing us to witness your guidance.As we recited the Holy Qur'an on that solemn morning, many felt the truth of your words more deeply than ever before. Perhaps, in your passing, veils have been lifted-revealing new dimensions of your legacy that time will continue to unfold.
