Shiite News: Head of Houza Ilmiya Iran, Ayatollah Ali Raza Arafi, sent a condolence message to the Pakistani nation on the heartbreaking incident of the bus of Pakistani pilgrims going to Iraq to visit holy places and participate in Arbaeen Hussaini.

The text of Ayatollah Arafi’s condolence message is as follows:

Inna Lilahi wa Inna alihay Rajoon.

I am deeply saddened to hear the news of the heartbreaking accident of the bus of pilgrims from Pakistan who were going to participate in Arbaeen Hussaini in love with Ahl al-Bayt (AS).

These pilgrims were traveling a long distance to participate in pilgrimage and Arbaeen Hussaini in the love of Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
They will be counted among the pilgrims of Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) and Imam Hussain (AS).

On my own behalf and on behalf of the Houza ilmiya, on this tragic accident in which many pilgrims were killed and injured, we condole with all the religious and cultural leaders of Pakistan and the people of our friend and brother country Pakistan, especially the families of these martyrs.
I express my condolences and I pray to Allah Almighty to grant mercy and forgiveness to all the deceased and grant the injured full health as soon as possible and give patience to all the bereaved.

Ali Reza Arafi
