5 Factors in Global Western System's Collapse, Ayatollah Khamenei's Analysis

The West -- whether in the form of socialism or liberalism -- dominated world management and took affairs into their own hands. Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other regions moved forward, under the influence and domination of westerners, during the past 70 years. However, one can clearly see that this system is changing. I will briefly refer to this issue, and I will explain the reasons and signs of this change.

Plan in a way as if you will live forever

There is a narration which says: "As far as your worldly life is concerned, act in a way as if you will live forever." That is to say, do not limit your plans to your lifespan and make plans for the next fifty years, for example.

Hajj has the highest capacity, compared to all other religious obligations

Hajj is a very important obligation. Perhaps, there is no obligation like hajj among the important Islamic obligations. First of all, there are numerous spiritual capacities in this great and extensive obligation. Those who pursue a spiritual relationship with God Almighty and who are after spirituality and the like can find numerous resources and astonishing capacities in this wajib [mandatory act in Islam] and this great obligation. Spirituality radiates and showers from daily prayers in hajj, from tawaf, from wuquf, from sayi, from ihram [different obligations that Muslims perform during hajj] and from each and every part of this great wajib which is a combination of different components. If we appreciate the value of this and if we pursue spirituality, we will see that the capacity of hajj is a lot more than other obligations.

Hajj is the best occasion for expressing stances and beliefs

In hajj, the Islamic Ummah can express its correct, unanimous and accepted positions. Unanimous and accepted by whom? By nations and by peoples! Governments might think and act otherwise. As we see, many Muslim governments are unfortunately taking a path which is different from the wishes of their nations, but the hearts of nations are different from governments. Hajj is a place where nations can express their positions on different matters[...] Which place can the Islamic Ummah find which is better than Bayt-ullah al-Haram, Makkah, Madina, Arafat, Mash'ar and Mina for expressing what Muslims have to say, what they want and what they think about Palestine and about Masjid al-Aqsa? Which place is better than hajj? Hajj has such a capacity.

The manifestation of the greatness of the Islamic Ummah

Hajj is the manifestation of the great presence of the Islamic Ummah, of unity, of unanimity and of the power of the Islamic Ummah. Every year, the greatest gathering of the Ummah takes place in a particular location with clear and transparent circumstances. The Islamic Ummah shows off its presence through hajj. As well as this extrinsic aspect, there is an intrinsic aspect: during hajj, Muslim nations get familiar and establish a close relationship with one another. And they understand each other's language – by "language", I do not mean words, rather I mean the culture that dominates everyone's mind. They get familiar with this language and become close to one another. This way, doubts and falsehoods are eliminated, enmities are undermined and gradually disappear, hearts get close to each other and hands come to one another's help. Countries can help one another. Nations can help one another. This is hajj.

Hajj's high potential compared with other religious rituals

In Hajj, seek to gain spirituality

Hajj pilgrims have certain responsibilities which should be carried out. The honorable hajj pilgrims should attach significance to public prayers. They should attach significance to saying daily prayers on time. They should participate in the public prayers which are held in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabi. Great significance should be attached to the recitation of the Holy Quran - on the days that hajj pilgrims manage to show their presence in the Two Holy Mosques – and to Arafat obligations and Arafat Day. Roaming the markets should be avoided! I have repeated this over and over again. Markets exist everywhere in the world. There is one in Tehran as well, with all sorts of legal and illegal products. So, markets exist everywhere including in Tehran and other cities. What does not exist in Tehran is Ka'bah! What does not exist in Tehran and in your living environment is Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabi! These are the exclusive places that only exist there. Therefore, they should be benefitted from. Otherwise, markets and various commodities exist everywhere. You should not spend your valuable time on these things. On the issue of hajj, hajj pilgrims should only think of purifying themselves and their hearts and souls so that they can achieve great spiritual results, God willing. If this happens, then social results will be achieved by Allah's favor as well.

What does Ayatollah Khamenei mean by The Government of Resistance?

The Islamic Republic is a Government of Resistance: it's a conglomerate of resistance built on politics, an economy, and international action; and it's an extensive influence zone inside and outside the country. Hence, its overall value cannot be compared with any other resistance element. That is why all enmities throughout the world – whether on the part of power seekers or on the part of their servants – are aimed at the Islamic Republic.
