The message of Ayatollah Sheikh Abdollah Javadi Amoli regarding the election of the third leader of the Islamic Republic, and similarly, the messages of other Maraji (high-ranking clerics) in the traditional clerical and seminary (Howza) style.

The message of Ayatollah Sheikh Abdollah Javadi Amoli regarding the election of the third leader of the Islamic Republic—and similarly, the messages of other Maraji (high-ranking clerics) written in the traditional seminary style—are cold and highly thought-provoking.

In the first public message of the third leader, unlike the initial announcements of the second leader of the Islamic Republic, there was no mention of the steadfastness of policies, decrees, and appointments at all levels, nor any reference to the exercise of guardianship (Wilayah) as in the past.

Within the realm of the Islamic Republic, following the election of the third leader, it remains unclear whether a distinction will be made between the leadership of the Jurist (Vali-e Faqih) and the religious authority (Marja'iyyat), as was done in 1989, or not.

Most importantly, Ayatollah Khamenei’s body has not yet been processed for funeral and burial to clarify whether the third leader will perform the funeral prayer (Namaz-e Mayyit) over him or if, according to custom, it will be the most learned of the Maraji as identified by the leader or senior state officials.

The situation remains opaque; one must remain patient to see what unfolds.
