President Rouhani sent a letter of condolence over Dr Ebrahim Yazdi’s passing away, praying to the Almighty mercy for him and patience for his bereaved family.
President's message is as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
“We are all from Allah, and to Him we shall return” (Holy Quran)
Dr Ebrahim Yazdi’s demise caused great grief and sorrow.
During the dark times of foreign colonisation and tyranny when forming a religious ruling system and reviving human dignity seemed far-fetched, Dr Yazdi was a pioneer of opposition in academic circles. During the time Imam Khomeini was living in France, he was beside him and then, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he served in executive organs and the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
I hereby offer my condolences to his respectful family and acquaintances and pray to the Almighty mercy for him and patience for his bereaved family.
Hassan Rouhani
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
