RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers in Qom’s Quds ‎‎‎Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem Hoseyni-Bushehri said that communication with God ‎and the strengthening of spirituality must not be limited to the holy month of Ramadhan and ‎added, “We must not distance ourselves from the Holy Quran in other months because ‎Ramadhan is a exercise to implement the Islamic lifestyle in other months.”‎
‎ ‎
Referring to the glorious presence of the people in the marches held on International al-Quds ‎Day, the member of the board of directors of the Assembly of Experts‎ said, “This year, the ‎presence of the people was more passionate and the people stood against the deceptive ‎plot of the ‘Deal of the Century.’ Due to the glorious presence of the people of the Islamic ‎Ummah in 100 countries on International al-Quds Day, we will see the neutralization of the ‎enemies’ plots.”‎

He said that the presence of the people in the ceremonies marking of the death anniversary ‎of the founder of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeyni, was “impressive,” and noted, ‎‎“This presence demonstrates that after thirty years after his death, the people stand firmly ‎on the covenant that they have signed with the Imam of the Ummah.”‎

Referring to the anniversary of the demolition of the blessed mausoleums of the Imams in ‎Madinah’s Jannat al-Baqi cemetery on April 21, 1925, Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri ‎stressed, ‎‎“The 8th of Shawwal is the anniversary of the filthy act by the misguided Wahhabi sect and ‎today, the Wahhabi ideology unfortunately harms the Islamic world and Takfiris and Daesh ‎continue the path of these destroyers of Jannat al-Baqi. We hope that the Islamic Ummah ‎will be saved from this evil ideology and that the Islamic Ummah will be united in their lofty ‎goals.”‎
‎ ‎
The secretary of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminary referred to the lifestyle of the ‎great founder of the Islamic Revolution, he said, “Imam Khomeyni was a great personality ‎who was the model of the freedom-loving people of the world. The Imam was able to stand ‎firmly against the enemies and the people were and have supported the work of the Islamic ‎Revolution with their lives and hearts.”‎

He stated, “Imam Khomeyni was determined and resolute on the path to reaching his goal ‎and he always acted with divine support. The Imam was duty-oriented and wasn’t negligent ‎in order to achieve his goals. The Imam was tireless and always hopeful. The Imam mixed ‎politics with spirituality.” ‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri ‎added that this year, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic ‎Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] noted that one of prominent features of the Imam was his ‎persistence and resistance. Resistance means that if a person determines the right path, he ‎will not go astray and obstacles won’t stop him.”‎

His Eminence noted that the resistance of the Iranian nation has a foundation and said, ‎‎“According to the command of the Supreme Leader, if we don’t resist and we surrender, the ‎enemies will advance, some prescribe that we must surrender in order to solve the problems ‎and give the green light to the enemies, while we have progressed whenever we have stood ‎up, but whenever we have retreated, we have faced a loss.” ‎

He added, “The Iranian nation will resist until it stops the enemies. The cost of surrender and ‎withdrawal is far more than the resistance that we saw during the Pahlavi regime and today ‎this is seen with the Saudis. Although, there are difficulties with resistance but the identity ‎and the independence of the country is protected. We believe in the promise of God that if ‎we are persevering on the path of God, we will be victorious.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri ‎said that the enemies are in decline today and stated, “Our ‎country has many capacities and we can defeat the enemies by relying on our internal ‎capacities. The officials must strive and listen to the speeches and recommendations of the ‎Supreme Leader and act on them.”‎
