RNA – In a meeting with Sayyed Hasan Qazizadeh-Hashemi, the Iranian Minister of Health, Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Vahid Khorasani, pointed out that those who lost their lives while in the holy ihram clothes were on the path toward God and who died while in the Land of Revelation will be given a lofty position in the hereafter. Such a lofty status is incomprehensible and unexplainable to us.
“This is not just a promise, it is guaranteed by God Almighty and these words and interpretation in regard to the Guests of God [Hajj pilgrims] are clearly stated by Holy Quran,” His Eminence explained.
The renowned source of emulation stressed that the Hajj pilgrims have obtained a great blessing and the survivors are considered righteous and remainders.
Ayatollah Khorasani stressed that the problem is that the so-called “Custodians of the Two Holy Shrines” in Makkah and Madinah are in reality the “Traitors of the Two Holy Shrines.” He explained that when a country issues a visa, they agree to protect the applicants’ life and Saudi Arabia should not be negligent in this respect.
His Eminence also said that stating that burying the bodies of victims of the Mina incident in Makkah or Madinah is something good and insisted that returning the victims’ bodies to Iran is not necessary.
