The memorial service was held at the Islamic Center of England and attended by teachers and students of the center as well as the Tebyan School.
They lit candles, recited the Quran and honored the memory of the late scholar, who was the director of Tebyan School.
Addressing the ceremony, Hojat-ol-Islam Mehdi Jafari highlighted the character of Al-Awasi and his services to the Quran and the Islamic community.
Al-Awsi passed away in London after a long illness.
He was a university of London professor and director of the Center for Southern Iraq Studies.
