Despite U.S. regime's hostility towards Iranian people, we have nothing against the American nation

People are either your Islamic brothers or human beings like you. This is the logic of Islam. We want to render services and show kindness to everyone.

Ayatollah Khamenei's anecdote of a time when he was mocked by a number of young ones

Why did Imam Ridha's (a.s.) movement against Haroun Dictatorship gain victory?

The presence of Imam Ridha's (a.s.) holy shrine in this part of our great Islamic country has brought about many blessings. Thanks to this holy shrine and this haram of the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) household in Khorasan, certain relationships have been established among Muslims all over the world - those, from all Islamic denominations and groups, whose hearts beat with the love of the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) household.

Why does Iran have the most enemies among arrogant powers? Imam Khamenei answers

We are a country which has the most enemies among arrogant governments and among some useless powers and we have the most supporters among the masses of people in many countries. I am not saying in all countries, but in many countries. No other country is as reputable as the Islamic Republic in many countries  whether neighboring or non-neighboring countries.

U.S. ruling apparatus suffers from incompetence: Ayatollah Khamenei

Our enemy is suffering from major incompetence: later on, I will expand on this matter. Not only their boss man, but also their ruling apparatus is suffering from severe incompetence. They want to turn fresh, pious, revolutionary, active, and advanced Iran back in time. They want to take it back to 50 years ago. Well, it is obvious that this cannot be accomplished. They foolishly think that they can restore the condition that they had created for the people of Iran 50 years ago. Well, is this not a sign of incompetence?

Islamic Republic relies on the people, arrogant powers can't achieve 'regime change'

One of the things which American politicians say in their speeches to our officials is that they do not intend to change the regime of Iran. First of all, they are lying. If they could, they would not hesitate even for a moment to destroy the foundation of the Islamic Republic. Second, they cannot. Arrogant regimes can only topple those governments which are not reliant on the masses of the people.

Disbelievers, hypocrites don't trust in God's promise, 'if you aid His cause, He will aid you': Imam Khamenei

If we truly want to help God's religion - helping the cause of Allah means this - we should know that He will help us and we should not have any doubt about it. When we move forward with this spirit, then the tranquility that we spoke about, will - by Allah's favor - be sent down into our hearts.

Hajj is a practical arena of combining religion and politics, religion and science: Imam Khamenei

Some people have begun to dissuade the new generations from combining religion and politics, religion and life, religion and science, this world and the hereafter and spirituality and material achievements. They want to dissuade minds from this combination. Hajj is a practical arena for showing this combination.

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.
