RNA – The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali ‎Khamenei, has ‎called on the Iranian people not to be afraid of the United States and ‎other bullying powers.‎

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks on Saturday after taking part in a Quran ‎recitation ‎event to mark the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. ‎

The Supreme Leader ‎attended the event via videoconference in line with guidelines to avoid ‎gatherings to ‎prevent the spread of the Novel Coronavirus.‎

Ayatollah Khamenei congratulated the advent of the holy month of Ramadan and ‎called on ‎Muslims to act upon the teachings of the Holy Quran that could save all ‎humanity.‎

The Supreme Leader added that Quran has guidelines for resolving the problems of human ‎‎beings and stated that some verses of the holy book teach people social relations that ‎they ‎need in their lives.‎

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the Holy Quran teaches Muslims not to trust ‎despots at ‎all.‎

During the ceremony, a number of reciters read out verses of the Holy Quran in their ‎‎melodious voices.‎

In a statement on Friday, the Leader’s office declared Saturday, April 25, as the first day ‎of ‎the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.‎

The beginning of the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar comes as Muslims ‎across ‎the world are battling the coronavirus pandemic. Measures to contain the ‎spread of the virus ‎will prevent many Muslims from breaking their daylong fast in large ‎masses as they normally ‎do.‎
