A Taqriz (تقریظ) is a handwritten note of appreciation or endorsement written by a prominent scholar or intellectual about a book.

Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is well known for writing Taqriz on books related to martyrs, spirituality, literature, and social life.

His Taqriz are valued because they are not merely formal reviews; they often contain emotional reflections, literary appreciation, moral observations, and encouragement for readers to engage with the work.

Many of these notes have helped popularize memoirs and novels about sacrifice, faith, family, and resistance in contemporary Persian literature.

He is also known for his deep interest in literature, poetry, and reading culture.

We present on this page a selection of his Taqriz on various books.
