According to the correspondent of Rasa News Agency in Najaf Ashraf, Najaf Friday prayer leader, Hujjat al-Isalm Sayyed Sadr ad-Din Qabbanchi, delivering this week’s Friday prayer sermons in Fatima Kubra Hussainia, congratulated the anniversary of liberation of Mosul and its return to the lands of Iraq and stated, “The government and human rights organisations should reconstruct the city and help the refugees return to their own homes.”
Pointing to the anniversary of Israel’s attack on Lebanon in 2006, he said, “I congratulate the anniversary of Lebanon and Hezbollah’s victory over Israel. That battle showed the power of the Resistance Front, the enmity of the Zionist Regime, the treason of world society, the silence of Arab states and the fears of Israel.”
Finally, Hujjat al-Islam Qabbanchi, pointing to the trips between Iran and Iraq by the residents of two countries for pilgrimage, maintained, “Such trips for making pilgrimage promotes kindness, musters religious dignity and booms tourism, therefore both governments of Iran and Iraq are supposed to relax the formal requirements for travelling to Iraq and Iran by pilgrims.”
