The sorrowful and sudden news of the passing of the esteemed religious scholar and pious individual, Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Mohammad Mahdi Salehi, the Cultural-Political Deputy of the Office of the Supreme Leader’s Representative, has caused deep grief and sorrow within the vast academic and scholarly community of the country. Undoubtedly, his absence has created a void in the religious and cultural activities of universities.

We pray to the Almighty for his elevated ranks and for patience and abundant rewards for the bereaved.
God willing, may the soul of the deceased be united in the highest levels of the sacred abode with the master and lord of martyrs.
