It is with great sadness and regret that we received the news of the passing of His Eminence Shaykh Abd al-Amir Qabalan, head of the Supreme Islamic Shia Council in Lebanon, whose pure soul ascended to its Creator after a blessed life of continuous service and giving for the sake of his religion and his country and striving to serve the people, fulfill their needs, and bring them together.

We express our most sincere condolences to his respected family, the esteemed scholars and all the believers in Lebanon for this great loss.

We ask Almighty God, the All-Powerful, to bless the deceased with the vastness of His mercy and raise him with his masters Prophet Muhammad and his purified progeny (pbut), and grant his family and followers patience and solace. There is no strength or power but with God Almighty.
