RNA – In a message on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, Hujjat al-Islam Ali al-Khatib, the deputy speaker of the Lebanese Shi’ah Islamic Assembly, said, “Congratulations to all Muslims and Lebanese people, especially the pilgrims to the House of God [Ka’bah], on Eid al-Adha. On this blessed day, hundreds of thousands of Saudi pilgrims are standing in the Desert of Arafat.”
His Eminence added, “On the Day of Arafah, we can only pray to God Almighty with the pilgrims and all the believers to remove the epidemic and the tribulation from the servants and the countries of the world and to save humanity from injustice, backwardness and oppression. I hope that with medical advice, the sincerity of everyone’s intentions will get rid of the evil of these diseases.”
Hujjat al-Islam al-Khatib hoped for acceptance of everyone’s deeds and said, “A superior and better nation is one in which there is unity and solidarity and commanding the good and forbidding the wrong, and this is what helps the people to defeat colonialism and empathy. The Arab and Muslim countries must reach a consensus to solve the political problems in Yemen and Libya and these countries must stand by Lebanon, Syria and Iraq in order to solve their economic problems. Also, the moral responsibility of these countries towards Palestine must not be forgotten because the first issue of the Islamic world is the issue of Palestine.”
He noted, “Arab and Muslim countries must not be silent about the ‘Deal of the Century’ and the choice of al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of the Zionist regime and they must know that the Zionist regime’s conspiracies spread from this country to other countries, as witnessed by the sanctions against Syria after the civil war. We are witnessing unjust sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran for supporting Lebanon and the Islamic Resistance Axis, all of which demonstrate the arrogance of the United States in dominating the nations of the world.”
He said that the Islamic Resistance Axis, with its achievements, is the preserver of the dignity of Lebanon and the centre of light reflection on the path to victory and emphasized, “We prohibit neutrality from the right path and call on the government to make the necessary reforms to prevent the collapse of Lebanon.”
