RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers at Qom’s ‎Qods ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi referred to the magnificent commemoration of the Arba’in ‎al-Husayn pilgrimage and added, “Everyone who strove to revive the magnificent religious ‎and divine epic of Arba’in must be thanked. We also thank the people of Qom, which had ‎the largest number of pilgrims from any province in Iran and who welcomed thousands of ‎people from countries around the world. We must thank the dear Iraqi people for their good ‎reception and preparation of such an epic pilgrimage.”‎

The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran pointed to Passive Defence Week, “The ‎preparation of all apparatuses and departments for the difficult conditions of passive ‎defence is a public duty and everyone must give attention to it because in a passive ‎defensive war, the least damage is imposed on society and everyone must give attention the ‎principles of this defence.”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Arafi commemorated the martyrdom anniversary of Martyr Mohammad-Hoseyn ‎Fahmideh on Student Basij Week and emphasized that the nature and morality of resistance ‎and courage must be institutionalized in the current generation of brave youth and ‎adolescents through mobilization. We’re hopeful that we will continue to see the growth and ‎education of the brave youth and adolescents to protect the country from danger.”‎

In another part of his speech, the jurisprudent member of the Guardian Council referred to ‎the recent developments in Iraq and Lebanon, “The government and officials in Iraq and ‎Lebanon must address the problems of the people and meet their needs, eliminate ‎corruption in the administrative, political and judicial institutions and heed the advice of the ‎sources of emulation and Hezbollah.”‎

Ayatollah Arafi added, “Governments must respect people’s opinions, but people must also ‎know that the enemies have been wounded by the Islamic Revolutionary Front and are ‎trying to harm the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Resistance and the ‎resistance-oriented countries and therefore, the people must be vigilant. We also saw this ‎during the sedition of 2009 and the foreign agents, the United States, Israel and their ‎stooges are seen in such incidents and the people must be vigilant.” ‎

His Eminence said, “The enemies must know that they can’t take this from uneducated ‎people and can’t use these chaos to wipe out the resistance and they must know that the ‎Islamic ummah and all those who they have harmed over the past several centuries have ‎stood against them. With these moves they can’t conquer the Islamic Ummah and the ‎Islamic Resistance and the Islamic Resistance and the discourse of the Islamic Revolution will ‎continue in its proud way.”‎
