RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in ‎‎the ‎Iraqi holy city of Najaf’s al-Fatimiyah al-Kubra Husayniyah, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid ‎‎Sadruddin ‎al-Qubanchi‎ referred to the fortieth anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution and said, “The ‎enemies have been striving to create damage and overthrow the Islamic Revolution in Iran ‎over the past forty years, but haven’t achieved any of their sinister goals.”‎

The Iraqi Shi’ah scholar ‎added, “Iran’s Islamic Revolution defeated the arrogant powers, the ‎great and Western nations and led to the redefinition of Islam in the world and the ‎replacement of Western culture.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Qubanchi responded to the denial of permission for the Shi’ahs of Jordan ‎to visit religious Shi’ah shrines by Abdul-Nasser Musa Abu al-Basal, the Jordanian Minister of ‎Endowment and said, “We condemn these statements from a Jordanian official and we ‎consider it as hostile, opposed to peace and as representative of the lack of the good ‎nature of Jordan. We demand a official apology by the Jordanian government to the Iraqi ‎people.”‎

His Eminence noted the meeting of Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the Special Representative of ‎the Secretary-General for the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, with Grand ‎Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Najaf and said, “The statements of Ayatollah al-Sistani in this ‎meeting contained global messages from Iraq and Shi’ahs from within and outside the ‎country.”‎

He stated that protecting Iraqi sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of the ‎country were among the most important points of the statements of Ayatollah al-Sistani in ‎his meeting with Ms. Hennis-Plasschaert.

Hujjat al-Islam al-Qubanchi ‎added, “Ayatollah al-Sistani described Iraq’s relations with ‎neighbouring countries as free from religious, religious and economic affiliations, positive and ‎good and condemned any violation of neighbouring countries and called for the initiation of ‎the government’s ability to solve the problems of Iraq.”‎
