And remember Allah's blessing upon you when you were enemies, then He brought your hearts together, so you became brothers with His blessing.” (Holy Quran, 3: 103)

On Ayatollah Taskhiri’s Characteristics The late Ayatollah Taskhiri was a scholar, a jurist, and a thinker. He had a great passion for Arabic poetry and literature, right from the beginning of his youth, such that some of his poems have been published in the form of a book called Divan-e She’r. His mastery of the Arabic language and literature had strengthened his understanding of the Holy Quran. On the other hand, living among the Arabs had made him well acquainted with their culture, customs, and body language and as a result, he spoke in a way that was pleasant to his audience.
