Support Kashmir: Iran to Muslims
Khamenei Pleads For Ummah Unity
Tehran, Nov 15: Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for providing assistance to Kashmir “engaged in resistance struggle.”
“Today the major duties of the elite of the Islamic Ummah is to provide help to the Palestinian nation and the besieged people of Gaza, to sympathize and provide assistance to the nations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Kashmir, to engage in struggle and resistance against the aggressions of the United States and the Zionist regime, to safeguard the solidarity of Muslims and stop tainted hands and mercenary voices that try to damage this unity, to spread awakening and the sense of responsibility and commitment among Muslim youth throughout Islamic communities,” Khamenei said in his message to the Hajj pilgrims.
He said the glorious spectacle and stage of Hajj provides Muslim Ummah with an opportunity for the fulfilment of these duties and “summons us to intensify and redouble our resolution and efforts.”
The Supreme Leader is positioned at the top of Iran’s political power structure. He appoints the head of the judiciary, six of the members of the powerful Guardian Council, the commanders of all the armed forces, Friday prayer leaders and the head of radio and TV. He also confirms the president’s election. The Leader is chosen by the clerics who make up the Assembly of Experts.
In his message Khamenei, described the annual Hajj pilgrimage as a symbol of monotheism and spirituality.
Khamenei said the expanding wave of Islamic awakening in the world today is a reality that heralds a bright future for the Islamic Ummah. “Our great Ummah has continued to march ahead non-stop, removing the obstacles from its way and conquering new fronts. The sophisticated stratagems of the global arrogance and its costly manoeuvres aimed at countering Islam are also a consequence of these victories,” he said.
He said the extensive propaganda of the enemy to spread Islamophobia, its offhand efforts to create discord among Muslim sects, to incite sectarian prejudices, to bring about pseudo-confrontations between the Sunnis and the Shias, to create disunity between Islamic states and to aggravate their differences, to change them into hostility and unsolvable conflicts, its employment of intelligence and espionage outfits to propagate corruption and immorality amongst the youth—all these are nervous and bewildered responses to the steady and firm advances of the Islamic Ummah towards awakening, honour and freedom.
