Islamic society must resist against US, its cohorts

In his message to the 2021 Hajj, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that over the last 150 years Muslim nations have mostly been subject to aggressive western countries’ greed, interference and malevolence.

Ayatollah Khamenei also stressed that the Islamic nation must make up for the past and “resist” against such aggression.

The following is the full text of Ayatollah Khamenei's message on the occasion of the Hajj rituals:

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon Muhammad, his pure Household, his chosen companions and those who follow them until the Day of Judgment

Dear Muslim brothers and sisters throughout the world,

This year too, the Islamic nation has been deprived of the great blessing of Hajj. Thus, eager hearts filled with sadness and sorrow were deprived of the banquet at the honorable House that God, the Wise and Merciful, built for people.

This is the second year that the season of happiness and spiritual exaltation associated with Hajj has turned into a season of separation and regret. The tribulation of the pandemic and perhaps also that of the policies dominating over the Holy Ka’bah have deprived the eyes of the eager believers from seeing the Islamic nation’s symbol of unity, greatness and spirituality. Thus, this glorious, honorable summit has been covered with clouds and dust.
