As the chairperson of Islamic Union Research Center, he worked hard to create a bridge between the working strategy inside and outside of the National council. He was fully motivated and devoted to his purpose and vision.

In different occasions, through discussion and exchanges of views, he extended his support to our beloved organization. He generosity and positive attitude always made us grateful. His demise has created a vacuum which is difficult to fulfil.
