On the anniversary of the disappearance of Imam Sayyed Musa al-Sadr and his two companions, Sheikh Muhammad Yaqoub and journalist Abbas Badr al-Din, the scholar Sayyid Ali Fadlallah affirmed that the absence of Imam al-Sadr constituted a “major loss for Lebanon and the nation,” because of the unitary, national, and Islamic role he played, and his standing by the issues of justice, foremost among which is the Palestinian issue.
He pointed out that Imam al-Sadr “was not the imam of a sect or sect of the Lebanese, but rather he was an Islamic, Lebanese, Arab, national figure who was respected by everyone who knew him.”
He added that Imam al-Sadr was “a safety valve for the unity of the Lebanese, and the voice of truth that echoes in the face of the internal injustice and conspiracies to which Lebanon was subjected,” considering that he was one of the first to sense the danger of the Israeli entity to Lebanon and its internal unity, and worked to confront its attempts to tamper with its security, stability, and the unity of its people.
