On the other hand, the one who is tends to receives the influence should be capable of both appreciating the status of the dignitary in question and the scope of his efforts for which he or she has proved an admirable role-model. Shiite religious history offers a considerable number of such figures who have exerted such influence both in their life-time and after their demise.

The present issue of Safinah al-Najah contains the first English translation of a long poem, in Arabic called urjūzah, which the late Grand Ayatollah Khoie composed in honor of Imam ʽAlīchr('39')s sublime character and career in the Islamic world.
