“A llah yatawal omru : May God grant him a long life” has long been an Arabic mark of respect for the elderly. But seminarians in Iraq’s shrine city of Najaf have begun reciting it almost obsessively. Ali al-Sistani, the grand ayatollah who is the senior religious figure for the world’s 200m Shias, is 92 and fading.
“ llah yatawal omru：愿上帝赐予他长寿”长期以来一直是对老年人的尊重的阿拉伯语标志。但是，伊拉克神社纳杰夫（Najaf）的神学院人几乎开始痴迷地背诵它。Ali al-Sistani是大阿亚托拉（Ayatollah），他是世界上200m什叶派的高级宗教人物，是92岁，褪色。
