"To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return". (Al-Baqarah 2:156)
Surely we belong to Allah and surely unto Him is our return. We have received the sad news on the passing away of Ayatullah Al Uzma Sheikh Muhammed Fadhil Lankarani who passed away in Qum Saturday 16th June 2007. At the age of 87, Marhum Ayatullah Lankarani was one of the leading Maraje' of our time. His calibre is reflected in the illustrious teachers he had: Grand Ayatullah Burujardi, Grand Ayatullah Tabatabai, and Grand Ayatullah Khomeini.
The Council of European Jamaats extends their condolences to the Imam of our time (A.S), to the family of the Marhum, to the Hawza Ilmiyya and to all Mu'mineen. We pray to Allah (SWT) to bestow His mercy upon him, and to elevate his status in proximity to the ahlul bayt (AS). Ameen
Mu'mineen are requested to recite a Sura e Fateha for the departed soul. Jamaats are requested to hold majlis e aza.
