Dearborn, Michigan – On Saturday, September 7, 2025, the Hope Social Foundation hosted its annual commemoration of the disappearance of Sayyid Musa al-Sadr, marking the 47^th anniversary of his abduction. The keynote address was delivered by Sayyid Kashmiri, who reflected on al-Sadr’s enduring mission and legacy.

Sayyid Kashmiri emphasized that Sayyid Musa al-Sadr’s mission was built on devotion to God, loyalty to the homeland, love for all, and service to humanity. He described al-Sadr as a visionary leader who embodied the concerns and aspirations of the people, particularly the poor and the marginalized, at a time of immense political and social challenges.

“Sayyid al-Sadr carried the cause of the oppressed and launched a great national project based on social justice, coexistence, and the protection of human dignity without discrimination,” Sayyid Kashmiri said.

His Eminence stressed that al-Sadr’s case is not confined to a sectarian or national dimension but represents a universal cause for truth and justice. He noted that while tyrants sought to silence his voice, al-Sadr’s thought and message continue to inspire generations.

He called on the audience to honor al-Sadr’s legacy not only by marking the anniversary of his abduction but by reviving his project of unity, justice, service to humanity, resistance to oppression, and building nations on dignity, knowledge, and faith.

“His is a legacy of responsibility and trust that must be preserved and carried forward,” Sayyid Kashmiri concluded.
