TEHRAN Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei released a message that was read out during the funeral events of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late leader of the Hezbollah Resistance motion, and his deputy Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, held in Beirut on Sunday.The message checks out: In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the MercifulAnd all honor belongs to Allah and His Messenger and the faithful, but the hypocrites do not know (Quran 63:8).
The terrific mujahid and leading commander of the Resistance in the region, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (may God raise his status), is now at a position that is the height of honor.
His pure body will be laid to rest in the land of jihad for the sake of God, but his spirit and his course will shine more gloriously each day, God ready, brightening the way for those who follow him.Let the enemy know that resistance against usurpation, oppression, and arrogance will never end and will continue up until the ultimate goal is reached, by the will of God.The good name and glowing countenance of Sayyid Hashem Safieddine (might God be pleased with him) is also a shining star in this regions history.
He was a close companion and inseparable part of the Resistances leadership in Lebanon.May the greetings of God and His exemplary servants be upon these two respectable mujahids; as well as on the other courageous, self-sacrificing fighters who have recently obtained martyrdom; and upon all the martyrs of Islam.
I send a special greeting to you, my dear children, the valiant youth of Lebanon.Seyyed Ali KhameneiEsfand 3, 1403 [Feb.
