The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “The late Mohagheghi Lahiji had both knowledge and spirituality. The key to his success was ethics, and this is the art that religious scholars should have.”

During these 60 years, whenever there has been a talk of rational and moral Islam, all eyes have been on the Islamic Center of Hamburg. This is due to the spirit of piety, spirituality, and sincerity, which was founded from the beginning by the order of Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi and at the request and initiative of a group of trusted and pious Iranian businessmen in Hamburg, and by the late Mohagheghi Lahiji

The “Yas” International Innovation Center was opened in the presence of the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and the Vice President for Science and Technology affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The former representative of the Supreme Leader in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs said, “While we have not planned in the major cities of the world, and if we have, there have been few, our competitors in the Islamic world are spending heavily to establish cultural centers. In many important cities of the world, we do not have a Shiite missionary, while many cities in the world demand for these people.”

The head of the Islamic Revolution Document Center said, “The late Mohagheghi Lahiji is the symbol of educated people in Qom Shiite school. All of his characteristics and behavior are seen in the life of the late Sheikh Abdul Karim Haeri, founder of Qom Seminary.”
