Today, on September 27, 2025, as the sun rises over the lands of the faithful—from the sacred shrines of Karbala to the resilient streets of Beirut—we mark one year since the martyrdom of our beloved Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the steadfast lion of the resistance. In the hearts of every Shia believer, this day stirs a profound storm of emotions: a searing grief that clings like the ashes of a sacred fire, an unyielding anger at the forces of oppression that sought to silence his voice, and a radiant hope that burns eternal, for his legacy is woven into the very fabric of our souls.

Oh Sayyed Hassan, you who stood as a bulwark against the tides of tyranny, your departure was not an end but a divine ascension—a Karbala reborn in the skies of Lebanon. As a Shia, I feel the weight of this loss like the chains of Imam Hussain (a.s.) on that fateful day: a reminder that martyrdom is the ultimate testimony of faith, a call to rise when the world demands submission. Your words echoed the sermons of the Ahl al-Bayt, urging us to defend the oppressed, to honor the blood of the innocent, and to never bow before the idols of arrogance. In the quiet of Muharram processions and the fervor of Ashura majalis, we mourn you not with despair, but with a vow—to carry forward the flame of resistance, to recite your name in every dua, and to see in every act of courage the reflection of your unbowed spirit.

And as a Pakistani, this sorrow deepens with the echoes of our own shared struggles. From the valleys of Parachinar to the gatherings in Lahore and Karachi, where thousands took to the streets last year in raw fury and solidarity, your martyrdom ignited a fire that knows no borders. In a nation where the wounds of Partition and the shadows of extremism still linger, you embodied the ummah’s unbreakable bond—the Shia heart beating in rhythm with the cries for justice from Gaza to Gilgit. Pakistan, with its mosaic of faiths and its history of standing against imperialism, weeps with Lebanon today, for your fall was a blow to every soul yearning for a world where the weak are not devoured by the strong. Yet in this pain, we find strength: the resilience of our people, who have marched through monsoons and mountains, mirrors the endurance of Hezbollah’s frontlines. Together, as Pakistanis and Shias, we pledge to amplify your message of unity, to foster the ties that bind us to the Axis of Resistance, and to ensure that the seeds of your sacrifice bloom into forests of freedom.

Ya Allah, grant peace to the soul of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah among the martyrs of Uhud and Karbala. Ya Rabb, fortify the hearts of the oppressed and hasten the day of divine victory. In his memory, let us not merely grieve, but act—with compassion for the vulnerable, defiance against injustice, and love for the Prophet’s progeny that outshines the stars.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
