Ayatollah Khamenei Leads Funeral Prayer for Senior Cleric
A number of close relatives of Ayatollah Hasanzadeh Amoli were also present at the ritual.
The senior cleric died of a lung-related illness on Saturday.
In a message on Sunday, the Leader described Ayatollah Hassanzadeh Amoli as a learned, multidimensional religious scholar, saying he was among the unique and distinguished figures whose limited number in any era delight the eyes and hearts of those who know them and benefit from these scholars’ knowledge, insight, reason, and soul.
“The writings and works of this honorable scholar will be a great source for the lovers of knowledge and intricate meanings, God willing. I offer my condolences to all his friends, students, and admirers, especially to the faithful believers and revolutionary people of the city of Amol and also to the enthusiastic youth who were attracted by his revolutionary stances and lofty manners. I ask God to bestow His forgiveness and mercy on him and raise his status,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
Born in 1929 in Larijan, a small town near the city of Amol north of Iran, Ayatollah Hasanzadeh Amoli started studying Islamic sciences at the grand mosque of Amol.
In 1951, he left his hometown for Tehran to continue his studies with famous scholars like Mirza Mehdi Elahi Qomshei, Mirza Abolhassan Sha’arani, Sheikh Mohammad Taqi Amoli, and Sheikh Mohammad Hossein Fazel Toni.
In 1963, he settled in the holy city of Qom where he studied Islamic philosophy with Allameh Seyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabaei and others.
Allameh Hassanzadeh Amoli spent the rest of his life teaching at the Islamic Seminary of Qom and writing numerous books on Islamic philosophy, theology, Hikmah, mysticism, and jurisprudence.
“Treatise on the Perfect human”, “Lectures on the Soul”, “Exegesis on Mulla Sadra's Asfar”, “Exegesis on Al Farabi's al Fosus”, “Treatise on Knowledge”, and “Unity from Hakim and Mystics' Perspective” are the titles of some of his works.
