Excerpts of statements made by Ayatollah Khamenei during a Friday prayer sermon in Tehran

Farewell to Ramadan

The following is an excerpt from a speech by Ayatollah Khamenei on May 28, 1987, at the Presidential Headquarters.

Ayatollah Khamenei's Opinion On Human Rights

The main reason Imam Hussain (as) brought Ali Asghar to the enemy’s army

I assume the main reason Imam Hussain (as) brought Ali Asghar to the enemy’s army, to ask for water in order to nourish the infant—while there was very little hope that these lupine enemies would have sympathy and give the baby water-- was that Imam Hussain (as) had no other option and there was nothing he could do to help. When the Imam (as) moved about the tents, he noticed the air was filled with anguish and much commotion, this small infant’s thirst, hunger and distress had moved everyone. Hussain Ibn Ali (as) had to take the baby in his arms—although there was very little chance the enemy would give the baby a cup of water to sooth his thirst.

Flashback

How was Ayatollah Khamenei informed of Ayatollah Beheshti’s martyrdom?

What was Hazrat Zeinab's reaction upon seeing her brother's bloodied body?

Hazrat Zeinab was heading the women towards the sight of his martyrdom. When she arrived, she spotted the body of her beloved brother on the blistering grounds of Karbala. Instead of revealing some sort of reaction, or grievance, she went to the corpse of her beloved Hussain (as), and called on her grandfather (pbuh). She said, “O’ the Messenger of God, peace be upon you! Take a look at your Hussain who is covered in blood, with his body hacked up.” O’ my dear grandfather! O’ Great Prophet, look towards the hot desert of Karbala. This is your Hussain who is now covered in blood and dust. Then, as it has been narrated, Zeinab (as) reached her hands beneath the body of Hussain Ibn Ali (as) and called out, “O’ God! Please accept this sacrifice from the progeny of Muhammad (saw)!”

"If Jesus were among us today, what would he do"? I guess he would turn his back on Zionists who sold him out to the Romans, and also he would stop the Israelis from murdering the innocent Palestinians. He would fight along side with Palestinians for Free Palestine. he would love to see his home land free again. Jesus loved peace but in the case of the Zionists I'm sure he would not show any mercy to them if he was here

As a human being (Muslim,Sunni),I stand shoulder to shoulder with my Shia brethren in condemning the brutal act by Nigerian army.

Mahdi kashif shabbir, 12/20/2015:

Waiting for the day that all Muslims will have a united voice against terrorim. Muslims are being killed every where in the world yet west accuses us of being terrorists. If we were united we would not be observing the death of our brothers and sisters in Palestine, Burma, Nigeria, and other places.

Enas Mustafa, 12/18/2015:

When western people come to know how hypocrite their governments are they will start revolutions to build new societies free from traitors. but till then we need leaders like you to do their best to awaken the people of the world. Thank you for your beautiful words!

Zawar Naqwi, 12/15/2015:

Instead of Fighting and attacking Boko Haram the Nigerian Army has attacked the leader of Islamic movement of Nigeria , Sheikh Zakzaki. This is terrorism which is done with no shame by the Nigeria govt and western media is silent, like they are silent in the case of Yemen and Palestine and Bahrain.

Paddy Grant, 12/12/2015:

I have been trying to understand Islam and become a Muslim for a few years, You have helped me on my journey Imam Ayatollah Khamenei, may Allah bless you and help me to become a true follower of the Prophet.

Hakeem Desai, 12/9/2015:

In a world where stupid and outright dangerous rhetoric is being spit around like bullets, you have set a good precedent. All of us young Muslims should try to spread the true message of Islam which is love for all humans and peace, extremist terrorist groups like ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, we have to show it to the world.

James Wagner, 12/7/2015:

It wasn't till I started watching presstv.com that I realized how we the American people have been lied to about Every thing and now I try explan to people not to hate or fear muslims. It heart breaking for people to hate based on religion if they only knew the truth that Saudi Arabia, Isreal & United states is spreading the lies and fears.. God Bless Iran & Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini

Rachele Saeed, 12/6/2015:

Actually I think publishing this website was a very good idea, there are many people who really seek the truth, yet there are not many good and trustee sources. this website gives us this opportunity to hear the words of leader of Iran directly not from the filters and censorship of western media

Tanveer Rehman, 12/6/2015:

The Islamic revolution of Iran showed to the world that with resistance we can win over tyranny and evil governments. It's bean a long time that the western countries have colonized the eastern and African countries and are stealing our resources and are controlling our minds,. I hope one day people of my country will wake up and stand against this oppression just like the Iranian people did.

Ralph Fucetola JD, 12/3/2015:

As an American I salute the Ayatollah Khamenei for writing so movingly about the moral imperatives of our times. Let all people of good will pray for peace. Blessed are the peacemakers.

Lloyd Bridges, 11/30/2015:

Sir. I am what you would call a "common American" Please understand that as few as 6 corporations and about 256 executives own our media (everything we read, see and hear). They have become increasingly oppressive of our people and exploiting our workers, as well as other Countries workers. The common American has no idea why Countries in the middle east dont like us. All we see are videos and pictures in the media of you burning American flags, and saying death to America. We simply dont know the reality of anything, and the real reasons why the middle east hates our government, and I wish that could change. The common American is actually a very compassionate person. I truly believe, with all my heart and conviction, a quote given by a great American ( Martin Luther King) that in essance said...The only thing that makes one person different from another, is what is in their heart. I have found that to be very true, in my lifes experience. I hope the world can overcome the greed.

Akhtar, 11/30/2015:

Very good message,,,,,, This letter should be circulated in the whole world by all means of communication, through seminars and lectures, and by publishing in universities and processions of "arbaen". This is our responsibility. Thanks

Peter Church, 11/29/2015:

Thank you dear sir for that and peace and understanding be to the world and the people of Iran from here in Los Angeles, California U.S.A.

I'm Happy to see the new English page, I hope we can get the latest news as early as possible via this website, God bless the Leader, <3 Love from Pakistan

Hassan Amzad, 11/22/2015:

As a Palestine activists i think that Iran must do more to expose Zionist crimes and must take serious actions against Israel. actions are more precious than mere words
