Hezbollah declared on Tuesday it has named Sheikh Naim Qassem as a secretary general of the Lebanese resistance group, a month after martyrdom of former S.G. Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah.
In a statement, Hezbollah said that the group’s Shoura Council agreed to elect Sheikh Qassem as a secretary general.
“Based on faith in Allah the almighty, commitment to the bona fide Islam of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), adherence to the principles and goals of Hezbollah, and in accordance with the approved mechanism for electing a secretary-general, Hezbollah Shoura Council agreed to elect his eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem as a secretary-general, who will carry the blessed banner in this path.”
“We ask Allah the almighty to bless him in this noble mission to lead Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance, the statement read.
“We promise Allah the almighty, the spirit of our holiest martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, the martyrs, and the fighters of the Islamic Resistance as well as our steadfast, patient and loyal people to work together in a bid to stick to Hezbollah’s principles, achieve the goals of its path and keep the banner of the resistance raised high until the victory,” Hezbollah added, concluding with the Quranic verse “Allah’s will always prevails.”
