I offer my condolences on the demise of the mujahid scholar, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Abdul Amir Qabalan (may God bestow His mercy upon him), to his respected family, the honorable Supreme Islamic Shia Council, all the admirers and friends of the deceased, and to the Shia population of Lebanon.
