انّا للّه وانّا الیه راجعون

“We belong to Allah, and to Him shall we return” [Holy Quran]

On the very sad and heartbreaking news of the passing away of Haj Mohammad Taqi Ansarian, on behalf of the Islamic Research and Information Center (IRIC), we would like to express our condolences to members of his family, friends and active members of the Islamic schools, Muslim communities, and all those who are concerned about promotion and distribution of the teachings of Ahlul-bait (a.s.)  around the world .

Brother Ansarian, the founder of Ansarian Publications, the major publishing house in Qom Iran, has translated and published many books in different languages, to say the least, that were quite influential for those who grew up reading as kids and youth and well into adulthood and until now especially in the West. The Education Department of IRIC, since its start of Islamic Classes in the Islamic Education Center in the U.S. has had close cooperation with Mr. Ansarian and benefitted from his efforts and various Islamic activities.

May Brother Ansarian’s soul rest in peace and receive graces and bounties of Allah under the guardianship of the Imam of our Era, Imam Mahdi (May Allah hasten his return).
