khmenei.ir:In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the MercifulPraise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Master,
Prophet Muhammad, upon his Pure Progeny, and upon his chosen Companions.Hajj: A symbol of the unity of the Islamic nationPraise God, the
Almighty and Wise, for once again having made the blessed month of Dhu al-Hijjah a meeting place for the Muslim nations and for having made
this path of His grace and mercy available to them
The Islamic nation can once again observe its unity and harmony in this clear, timeless mirror, and [take this opportunity to] turn away
from factors that lead to disunity and division.Unity and spirituality: Basic foundations of HajjThe unity of the Muslim nation is one of
the two basic foundations of the Hajj Pilgrimage
is a combination of these two political and spiritual elements
foundations of the Islamic nation's honor, and the Islamic nation's duty to counteract such effortsIn recent history, the enemies of Muslim
nations have undertaken an extensive drive to weaken the two bolstering elixirs of Islamic unity and spirituality among our nations
The enemies of Islam strive to weaken spirituality by promoting a western lifestyle that is devoid of spirituality and which is rooted in a
short-sighted, materialistic vision of the world
They strive to undermine Islamic unity by promoting and promulgating baseless factors that foster division, such as [differences in]
language, color, race, and geography.The Islamic nation, a small portion of which can now be seen in the symbolic ritual of Hajj, must rise
up against this with every ounce of its being
This means on the one hand, we must increase remembrance of God, work for God, contemplation on God's words, and our trust in His promises
And on the other hand, everyone must work to overcome the factors that foster division and disunity.The Islamic world is ready for unity and
the prerequisites for itWhat can be said with certainty today is that the current situation of the world and of the Islamic world is readier
countries are now aware of the great wealth of their religious understanding and spiritual heritage, and of its significance and value
Today, liberalism and communism, the most significant contributions of Western civilization, no longer have the same appeal they did 100
The credibility of capital-driven Western democracy is being seriously questioned, and Western thinkers admit they are at a theoretical and
By observing this situation, young people, intellectuals, scientists, and religious scholars within the world of Islam are able to gain new
perspectives on the wealth and value of their own knowledge, as well as on the mainstream political currents in their own countries
created a wondrous, miraculous phenomenon in the very heart of the Islamic world, and this poses serious problems for the Arrogant Powers
The name of this phenomenon is "Resistance," and its reality is manifested in the power of faith, struggling on the path of God, and relying
This is the same phenomenon about which the following noble verses were revealed in the formative period of Islam:Those to whom the people
They pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the dispenser of a great grace
rebellious Zionist regime from its state of aggression and howling to a defensive, passive stance and impose on it the current, obvious
array of political, security, and economic problems that it faces
Other brilliant examples of Islamic Resistance can be clearly seen in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and some other places.3) Political governance in
the Islamic Republic of IranThirdly, in addition to these other factors, the world is currently witness to a successful model and proud
example of power and political Islamic governance in Islamic Iran
The stability, independence, progress, and honor of the Islamic Republic is a great, significant, striking phenomenon that can attract the
thoughts and feelings of every conscious Muslim
path of the material and spiritual progress [of the Islamic Republic], as these are inspired by the basic principles of this system.The
following factors are to be found at the top of the list of these basic principles: the sovereignty of Islam in the legislative and
executive branches of governance, reliance on the vote of the people in the country's most important administrative matters, complete
political independence and refusing to rely on any oppressive powers
These principles can be the basis for a consensus between Muslim nations and governments, and they have the potential to bring unity and
harmony to the Islamic nation in its direction and cooperation.These are the principles and factors that have fostered favorable conditions
in the Islamic world for a harmonious, unified movement
More than anyone else, Muslim governments, religious and scientific elites, independently-minded intellectuals, and the truth-seeking youth
natural for the Arrogant Powers, and the United States more than anyone else, to be worried about such a trend in the Islamic world and for
them to employ all their resources in order to confront it
And this is what we are seeing
The tactics they employ range from dominating the media and soft warfare, to warmongering and starting proxy wars, political espionage and
acts of inducement, and threatening, bribing and other forms of enticement
Each and every one of these tactics is employed by the United States and other Arrogant Powers to separate the Islamic world from its
rightful path of awakening and felicity
The criminal, disgraceful Zionist regime in this region is yet another tool they use for this all-out effort.These efforts have failed in
most cases, thanks to God's grace and His will
And the Arrogant West has become weaker by the day in our sensitive region and, more recently, throughout the whole world
The distress and failure of the United States and its criminal accomplice, the usurper [Zionist] regime in the region, can clearly be seen
in the recent events of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan.Assets for building the future of the Islamic world and its
undermining factorsOn the other hand, the Islamic world is brimming with motivated, energetic young people
The greatest assets for building the future are hope and self-confidence
Today, these assets are abundant in the Islamic world, especially in this region
We all have a duty to protect and increase these precious assets.However, we should not neglect the enemy's stratagems for a single moment
Let us avoid pride and negligence, and let us increase our alertness and efforts
And at all times, let us attentively beseech the Almighty, Wise God for His help
Participating in Hajj and its rituals provides a great opportunity for relying on God and beseeching Him, as well as for deliberation and
decision-making.Pray for your Muslim brothers and sisters around the world, and ask for their success and victory
Please ask for divine guidance and help for this brother of yours in your pure prayers.
