The demise of the divine and servicing Alem, Ayatollah Haj Sheikh Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, caused great sorrow.

He spent many years learning and teaching in seminaries and spent his honorable life propagating Islam, teaching, and preaching in Iran and various countries, and trained many clerics to serve the Islamic community.

I offer my condolences on this irreparable loss to Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the Ulama, Grand Sources of Emulation, his children, family and relatives, and I God ask for his exaltation.
