These days is the period remembering and commemorates the of thirty-fourth martyrdom anniversary of an eminent personality and great Godly Islamic scholar and a devoted Marja and also a revolutionary commander, his eminent Shaheed Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr.

He alone shoulders the great burden of responsibility of restoring the teaching of Islamic religion and he stood firm against the enemies of Islam, and he had the intension and motive of reforming the Islamic Ummah and eliminate oppression and deprivation. This eminent leader resisted firmly against unbelief, oppression and terrible nightmares that has eaten up the fabric of Iraq and course irreparable injury at the heart of the children of Iraq. He sacrificed his pure soul in the cause of Islam and for the sake Allah to fight for the oppressed men, women and children that were crying loudly for justice.

  He started his life in the pursuit of different sciences with seriousness and excitement and did not spare any compromise in the way of its publication, and putting at the disposal and service of other.

He had serious concern on the path of self-purification, self-training, and humble ethics. He had serious concern and provides service and also gave his full attention and dedication to the affairs of the Muslims.

His eminent Shaheed Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was very kind and compassionate toward the Muslim. He explores and propounds new sciences and clearly and explicitly offered and presented it freely so that humanity can benefit. He was also active in answering and refuting the misconception and false accusation made on the Islamic religion and it fundamentals thereby eliminating the controversial criticism and he also stood firm in refuting the ideology of the East and West. He revealed it falsehood and weakness and then explained the principle of Islamic thought based on strong intellectual reasoning rationally in a manner that all scholars and intellectuals were astonished and happy by the work of this great man.

Because his grandfather Imam Hussein was on the path of his great grandfather with firm bravery and courage against oppressors and tyrants and the responsibility of guidance ship he had upon the Islamic Ummah, he stood on this grief and suffering path and undergo lot of persecution which includes imprisonment and torture but with patience, courage and trust in Allah he was able to endure it and sacrificed all had in this path and dedicated his life happily to martyrdom.

((Then peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he was martyred and the day he would be resurrected alive))

 Therefore if we are here having the memorial service and commemoration of this brave leader we want all Muslim believers to utilize his grace and virtues moment by reflecting on his dignity and self-esteem, bravery, trust and sincere devotion to Allah and holding firm to rope of Allah, resistance in defending Islam, and taking a step toward  the path of guidance, peace, love, cooperation and  avoid falsehood, following humanistic desire, unrealistic hope, temporal worldly pleasure and vanity and at the same time the Muslim Ummah should follow righteousness and reject oppression and injustice from ruthless and fake government and be reasonable in their good manner of interaction and should take this great martyred as their role model. Therefore by so doing we will achieve dignity, progress and development in our lives.

 However am calling upon all dear children of Iraq with all religious sect, ethnic tribes and group to utilize this opportunity with effective participation to choose among the fittest candidate who have the competence and good reputation and a clean history. Those who had stood against oppressors and had defended the deprived ones and had sacrificed their blood and body in this path, the leader of such people was that of shahid sadr.

However, again those who felt the concern and  pain of the people with the blood of this martyred leader and all enthusiastic Iraqi martyrs that were loyal and hardworking to see a new Iraq of  freedom and independent be established with an impartial and dynamic Islamic system should be remembered. With the grace of Almighty of Allah.

May Allah grant us success
