Today marks the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Sayed Hassan Shirazi, son of the Great Supreme Religious Authority Sayed Mehdi Husseini Shirazi, may Allah bless their souls, when an armed group of the Baathist regime assassinated his eminence while he was heading to a mourning ceremony held by him in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after Saddam Hussein had killed the religious authority Ayatollah Sayed Mohamad Baqir al-Sadr and his sister Bintul Huda in 1980.

Many Shia Muslims in various Islamic countries have marked the martyrdom anniversary as the martyr Sayed, may Allah bless his soul, was the first one who established a seminary school next to the holy shrine of Lady Zainab, peace be upon her, to extend communication bridges with Alawites in Syria and Lebanon, since they are followers of Ahlulbayt, peace be upon them, along with his great contributions to Shia Islam in many African countries.
