The message is as follows”
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The demise of the dear friend, serving scholar, and professor of research on the Quran, Hojat al-Islam, Dr. Ali Mohammadi Ashnani, caused sorrow and sadness.
The prominent scientific figure left numerous and precious religious and Quranic works, some of which reached high global scientific ranks, and won important scientific and research awards.
The establishment of Quranic centers, teaching in higher education centers – especially universities related to the Holy Quran sciences – and the educating students in the field of Revelations in Iran and abroad are valuable spiritual luggage that will definitely help the blessed deceased in the journey to the hereafter.
I offer my condolences for this irreparable loss to the academic community of Iran, seminary and university scholars, colleagues, and students of the late Mohammadi Ashnani, and his honorable family.
I ask Almighty God for mercy and comfort for his soul, and patience for all the bereaved family members and relatives.
