There are devils from among jinn, but the effect they can have is limited

In his New Year speech, which was delivered on March 22, 2020, Imam Khamenei stated that one should not be taken by surprise when one sees fierce enmity towards the Islamic government, and added, “Well, we have many enemies and we should not be surprised at this. As I mentioned, Allah the Exalted has said in the Holy Qur’an, ‘And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, the devils from among men and jinn some of them suggesting to others varnished falsehood to deceive (them).’ [Holy Qur’an, 6:112] There are enemies from among both jinn and human beings, and they help one another. The security services of many countries work together against us.” The Supreme Leader’s reference to enemies from among men and jinn caused a stir in some media services. For this reason, Khameneir.ir has conducted an interview with Ayatollah Ahmad Abedi, a professor of prominence in the seminaries and the universities, asking him to expand on the Supreme Leader’s statement from the point of view of the Qur’an.

The three places Imam Khamenei visits when he is sad

The Holy Jamkaran Mosque has always been a place for praying and seeking the help of the Imam of the Age (may Allah, the Exalted, hasten his blessed reappearance). However, during the reign of the rebels (the Pahlavi era), they tried to make people forget about this Mosque. Nonetheless, thanks to the victory of the Islamic Revolution, this Mosque has recovered its true position and has turned into a place for holding spiritual ceremonies, religious seclusion and seeking the Imam’s (‘a.j.) assistance. The recommendations of the religious scholars about visiting the Holy Jamkaran Mosque have such a background. Imam Khamenei is very committed to visiting this holy place to pray and perform his daily prayers. About this Mosque, he has said, “When we know with certainty, or find it very probable, that a certain place receives the attention of the ‘Friends of God,’ surely that place is more spiritual. The auspicious Jamkaran Mosque is one of these places and centers where the environment is prepared for people to pay attention to Allah, the Exalted, and to engage in saying recitations, showing humbleness to God, and beseeching Him.” On the occasion of the month of Sha’ban and the anniversary of the birth of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake), Khamenei.ir has conducted a short interview with Hujjatul-Islam Muhammad Hassan Rahimian, the trustee of the Holy Jamkaran Mosque. In this interview, he speaks about His Eminence’s visits to the Holy Jamkaran Mosque.

Practicing compassion, empathy and giving sincere assistance to the needy and poor

I tell you that officials in the National Anti-Corona Headquarters are working seriously. We receive the reports in this regard and we are aware of their activities. They have also come up with certain plans for underprivileged classes, but I wish to stress and recommend that executive officials should implement the plans for helping these classes as soon as possible and in the best way they can, God willing. However, the people are also responsible. There are some people who really find it very hard to make ends meet and they cannot manage their daily affairs. The people whose hands are open and who are financially well-off should begin extensive activities in this regard. We read in the holy dua “Shajarat-un Nubuwwa”: “Feed me so that I can help- by means of what you bestowed on me with Your Grace- those who are deprived of your bounties and blessings to a large part, as you provided me with Your shelter.” This is one of the necessary tasks that should be carried out, in particular because the month of Ramadan is imminent. The month of Ramadan is the month of giving alms, making sacrifice and helping the needy. It will be such an excellent move to launch a big movement in the country for charitable purposes and offering pious help to the needy and the poor. If this happens, there will be a good memory of this year in the minds of the people. In order to prove our love for the Imam of the Age, we should create scenes and reflections of the Mahdawi society. As I mentioned before, the Mahdawi society is the society of justice, dignity, knowledge and assistance. We should realize these things within the scope of our capability in our life. This will help us get closer to that ideal society.

About the matter of COVID-19, do not ignore the conspiracy of the Arrogant Powers

Another dimension of the issue is that coronavirus is clearly a grave problem for today’s humanity. It is a big and dangerous outbreak that has occurred to humanity, but compared to other problems, it is a relatively small matter. We have been witness to many problems in the world and in our own country, which were not less important, rather more important than this recent malady, including the fact that Saddam’s planes dumped chemicals on our country 32 years ago– on exactly the same days that coronavirus has now entered our country. They killed thousands of people in our cities and in their own cities and they did so with mustard gas and the like. This happened and of course, all big powers in the world supported and helped Saddam on that day. Some of these so-called civilized and advanced countries gave him chemical substances and weapons and until today, none of them has answered for the crimes that they committed back then. And that criminal Saddam, behaved towards our people and his own people in Halabja in the same manner, because he felt that the people of Halabja might be cooperating with the soldiers of the Islamic Republic, he killed them on the streets in a brutal manner. Well, these things have happened. During the two world wars, millions of people were killed as well. In the case of the coronavirus, it is said that one million-plus individuals have been infected and some have lost their lives. However, in the first and second world wars which occurred in Europe with an interval of about 20 years, several million people were killed. I do not remember exactly how many, but I know that tens of millions of people were killed during those wars. During the Vietnam War too, which was waged by the US, many people were killed and the same is true of other wars. Just recently, many people were killed and martyred during the attack that the US and others launched in Iraq. These cases have been frequent. Therefore, when we think about the recent matter, we should not ignore the other important incidents that have always occurred in the world and we should know that at the very moment, millions of people are under the pressure of oppression at the hands of big powers and enemies in the world and they are deeply suffering. The people in Yemen, Palestine and many other parts of the world are under pressure. Therefore, the issue of coronavirus should not make us forgetful of the plots of enemies and of arrogance and we should know that the enmity of arrogance is based on the essence of the Islamic Republic. If someone thinks that we should not show enmity so that they will not show us enmity either, this is not true. The essence of the Islamic Republic is the principle of Islamic democracy and this is not acceptable, understandable and tolerable to them!

Western culture and civilization has revealed itself during the Corona pandemic

Western culture and civilization showed their mettle as well! Well, our national television showed some of the things that happened in western countries, in Europe and in the US, but some of them were not broadcast because this is the information that we receive and therefore, we are aware of it. The west displayed its cultural products as well. In some western countries– in Europe and the US– it so happened that governments confiscated masks and gloves belonging to another government while they were being transferred in order to use them for themselves. This happened in European and American governments. And the people there emptied the stores in a short time, in the space of one, two hours- as they were anxious to fill their fridges and they emptied the shops. They showed the whole world on television the empty shelves in the stores. Our television showed it as well. And there were some people who fought with one another over toilet paper. There were also long rows of people trying to buy guns. It was broadcast on television that the people were lining up to buy guns because they felt insecure and felt the need to buy guns in this sensitive period of time. We can also refer to their prioritization of patients: their preference not to treat the elderly. They said, “It is not necessary for us to bother treating the elderly, the disabled and the like who suffer from various conditions and ailments considering the restrictions that we have.” These are the things that have happened there. Some people in those countries have committed suicide out of fear of the coronavirus and of death. This is the conduct that some western nations have shown. Of course, this is a logical and natural consequence of the philosophy ruling over the western civilization, which is an individualistic, materialistic and secular philosophy. Even if there is a belief in God in that philosophy, it is not based on correct, towhidi and deep tenets. This is another issue. I would like to add that a western official said a few days ago that the “Wild West” has been revived. This is what they say. When we say that there is a spirit of wildness in the west which is not incompatible with their perfumed and neat appearances, some people express their surprise and deny it. Now, they themselves are saying this! They say that such behavior is a symbol of the Wild West being revived.
