Hajj is a self-discovery journey, says Iran Supreme Leader
By: Sheikh M Khurasani
TEHRAN, Iran: Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei in his message to hajj pilgrims has said the hajj is a
journey of self-discovery for Muslims that shows the ummah their
rightful place in the world.
He said: ‘As a symbol of Islamic unity and honor and the emblem of
monotheism and spirituality, the Holy Kaba, during the hajj season, is
host to the ardent and hopeful hearts, who come hurrying from all over
the world to the birthplace of Islam in response to the call of the
Glorious Lord. At this time, the Islamic ummah can have a bird’s-eye
view of its own great extent and diversity, seen through the eyes of
its envoys who gather here from all over the world, and be witness to
the profound faith that rules over the hearts of the followers of the
True Religion, and appreciate its great and peerless heritage.’
This self-discovery of the ummah enables us as Muslims to become aware
of the position which is worthy of them in the world, today and
tomorrow, and to keep moving towards it.
‘Today the major duties of the elite of the Islamic ummah are to
provide help to the Palestinian nation and the besieged people of
Gaza, to sympathize and provide assistance to the nations of
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Kashmir, to engage in struggle and
resistance against the aggressions of the United States and the
Zionist regime, to safeguard the solidarity of Muslims and stop
tainted hands and mercenary voices that try to damage this unity, and
to spread awakening and the sense of responsibility and commitment
among Muslim youth throughout Islamic communities.’

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
