Ultra-neocolonialism: When "Human Rights" are a means of domination and colonization

What is ultra-neocolonialism? It is a way to encourage members of a nation, which is targeted for domination by the arrogant powers, to help the arrogant powers without realizing what they are doing. The enemy considers your faith as a solid wall that has to be destroyed.

The Land of Mecca belong to all Muslims, not a particular govt

No one should manipulate and prevent the concepts of Hajj, or the points and rituals that exist in Hajj. The individuals and the government that prevent these concepts are, indeed, “creating an obstacle in the way of God” [Quran: 2:217]. The Ka’ba belongs to all the Muslims.

Ayatollah Khamenei met with Hajj organizers

As the time for Abrahamic rituals of Hajj approaches— the time when people leave for Mecca to perform Hajj— organizers and officials of Iran’s Hajj organization met with the Leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, this morning (Monday) July 16, 2018.

The “Deal of the Century” is a delusion, it will not happen

The following is the full text of a speech delivered on July 16, 2018, by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, during a meeting with Hajj officials.

Those who impede implementation of the concepts of Hajj, are indeed blocking the path of God

One key point is that no one should create obstacles in the way of Hajj concepts or teachings: “As to those who have rejected Allah and would keep back men from the way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque.” [The Holy Quran, 22: 25] There are some people who “keep back men from the way of Allah” and “from the Sacred Mosque." Keeping people back does not only mean preventing an individual from going to Makkah, they might let you participate, but they might prevent you from benefiting from the concepts of Hajj: this is what is meant by "keeping back men from the way of Allah" as well. This is keeping back men from the Sacred Mosque as well. Those who make this move – the government and administration which commits this grave mistake – is keeping back men from the way of Allah. The concepts of Hajj should be understood and acted upon.

One of the goals of Hajj is for Muslims to congregate and unite

The Muslims’ gathering of solidarity and coordination is one of the important goals of Hajj: this should receive our attention. In all the plans that the honorable pilgrims and the managers in charge draw up, this issue should receive the most attention: Hajj is a symbol of connection, bonding, agreement, and harmony [among Muslims]. Of course, the government which rules the place does not want unity: thus, they create obstacles in whichever way they can. Today, there are several means of communication. Communication methods should be established: the Islamic Ummah should come together. Those who separate politics from Islam, and who reject this, do not have a correct understanding of Islam and Quranic ayahs (verses). Quranic ayahs – including the ones about Hajj, about jihad, about people’s relationship in a society, and about the authority of the Islamic ruler in society – are all policies which originate from Islam. Islamic democracy, which we have brought up, originates from the core of Islam and from the text of the Quran as well: “Who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation.” [The Holy Quran, 42: 38]: this is the main point regarding the Hajj pilgrimage.

The land of Mecca belongs to all Muslims

There is no difference between the inhabitants of Makkah and those who live elsewhere: this place belongs to everyone. And the land belongs to all Muslims. Some people must not feel as if the holy land belongs to only them or that they have the right to behave in whatever manner they want. The truth is that all Muslims have the same rights towards the Holy Ka’bah and Masjid al-Haram, the holy place and the holy environment of the Two Holy Mosques. This Quranic verse only mentions Makkah, but the same is true of Medina: Medina belongs to all Muslims as well. --This is because the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is for everyone.

Hajj is a manifestation of the mixing of spirituality and the affairs of this world

All the other characteristics that exist in Hajj – this great obligation. Hajj also enjoys the characteristic of combining spirituality and politics, spirituality and material attributes, and this world and the hereafter: “And there are men who say: ‘Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the fire." [The Holy Quran, 2: 201]. Those who say this prayer during Hajj and ask Allah the Exalted for worldly and otherworldly rewards are cherished in the Quran. This means that this world and the hereafter have been combined during the Hajj pilgrimage. Hajj is the manifestation of this great occurrence.

Hajj should be a manifestation of being harsh on disbelievers and compassionate with one another

Hajj should be an embodiment of “Strong against unbelievers, but compassionate amongst each other.” The opposite point involves creating discord and causing separation among brothers but tying one’s tail to that of global arrogance and the US. The opposite of this is what Hajj demands from people, what it wants for them and what the Holy Legislator has ordered -- He has ordered the people to do good. Hajj should be performed with this good spirit and by this condition.The opposite point involves creating discord and causing separation among brothers but tying one’s tail to that of global arrogance and the US.

With Palestinians’ resistance, Zionist regime is more desperate for a ceasefire than Gazans

What the people of Gaza did made the enemy look for a ceasefire more desperately than the people and the officials in Gaza although they went through pain and suffering and a number of them were martyred. This is a lesson for the world of Islam and of course we learned this lesson during the Sacred Defense Era.

Cultural invasion on Islam: a reality or a conspiracy theory?

Imam Ja´far al-Sadiq (a.s.) trained prominent Shia and Sunni scholars

It is a mistake to assume that all those thousands of students who were taught by Imam Sadiq were Shia Muslims who believed in his being an Imam. That was not the case. There were many individuals among his students who used to go to him to benefit from his knowledge and what he knew about Islamic teachings.

Why is Islam's outlook on women preferred over the Capitalist and Marxist ones?

The lionesses of the Islamic Revolution of Iran proved that there is a third paradigm which is neither eastern nor western. Muslim Iranian women opened to the women of the world, a new chapter in history that proved one can be a woman, maintain her chastity, modestly dressed and noble, and yet actively be at the center of the events.

The issue of Gaza and Palestine is our issue. It is our Islamic issue. It is the issue of all Muslims and it is our responsibility. What we are doing is our responsibility and we do not ask anyone to thank us for this. We have carried out our responsibility and we ask Allah the Exalted to help us continue carrying out our responsibilities.

Two nations, two revolutions: How does the Islamic Revolution of Iran differ from the American Revolution?

America's population was not more than 4, 5 million at that time. They started a movement and established a government. Certain figures - such as the famous George Washington and others - came to power, but the same things that happened to the French Revolution happened to the American Revolution as well.

What does 'patience' mean according to the Quran? Imam Khamenei elaborates

Patience means staying in the arena, not getting out of it. Some individuals flee from the arena. Some individuals do not flee from it, but they leave it gradually. This is against patience. Patience means endurance, staying in the arena and resisting. Patience means keeping our eyes on distant goals and distant horizons. It means looking at distant goals.

What are the two main duties of Muslim countries regarding the crisis in the region?

You can see the signs, presently: the tragic events in Yemen, the events in Syria, and the events which took place in Iraq and other Islamic countries. The solution begins when Muslim nations discover the main reason for this all this turmoil. The main reason stems from the enmity of the front of arrogance against the Islamic community and Ummah: this is at the core of the issue.
