Reactions

Statements by Imam Khamenei

Imam Khamenei, addressing the family of Martyr Shahriari, said: The martyrdom of Dr. Shahriari brought honor to the country's scientific community. The martyrdom of such a prominent and accepted figure showed the enemy that in the scientific environment of the Islamic Republic, such personalities and motivations exist. Undoubtedly, the numerous successes that the Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved today in the path of the nuclear industry are due to the scientific and jihadi efforts of the scientists of this industry. Geniuses who mixed science and spirituality and brought Islamic Iran to the peak of nuclear knowledge.

Statements by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli

Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli, at the fortieth-day ceremony of Martyr Shahriari, stated: In the narrations of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), it is said that on the scene of the Resurrection, the blood of the martyr is weighed against the ink of scholars, and the ink of the scholar is heavier than the blood of martyrs, but if a scholar drinks the sherbet of martyrdom to preserve their religion, they bring both the weight and the scale. He whose knowledge explains the truth of the world and describes divine effects, describes God's creation, not nature. He knows the known as the truth of God, not abandoned nature; like the martyr, both his hands are full, and with one hand he brings the weight and with the other the scale. Scholars of the Hawza and University and Martyr Shahriari have the gem in one hand and with the other hand the sword guarding the gem. A scholar never takes up the sword to bring down another, but they take up the sword to protect this sanctuary and gem. Friends of Martyr Shahriari and his family should be sure that he is now in spirit and rayhan, and if he entered the divine court with two full hands, not only will he solve his own problem but he will also solve the problems of others and will intercede for others.
