Trying to detach Islamic identity from Iranian nation, arrogant powers seek to dominate Iran

What the enemies and the implacable enemies of our nation have always sought to do was to destroy the identity of this nation. When a nation feels that it has no identity, it can be subjugated easily. They deny such nations' potentialities and internal power in order to gain full control over them.

'Peace talks' results: creating an apartheid, making Palestine a 'Jewish nation-state’

The Zionist regime continues to oppress the innocent people of Palestine with utmost shamelessness and audacity. This is while they hold a peace conference in Washington. Peace with whom? They want to cover up the issues of Palestine and the crimes committed by the enemies of the people of Palestine by conducting certain negotiations which they call "peace".

Imam Khamenei to the government: Work hard like our football players did

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.

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.
