The worst enemy of a person's happiness and salvation is his selfish and lustful soul. Before fighting the enemy outside, we must tame the inside in the shadow of purifying the soul, and this is the greater jihad.

In the human trafficking market, Satan only buys the lost and has nothing to do with righteous people. Every tear that falls from the eyes of a righteous servant is a founding slap for Satan, and every good step that a righteous servant takes is an arrow to his chest and eye.

Satan is the greatest enemy of man. Line up against him, who is an obstacle and a bandit on the path of man to God, and go to war against him with all your military equipment. If you do so, your soul will be purified and your ranks will rise.

A person should pay attention to the fact that he is incomplete and must be perfected, and that he is a traveler and needs a guide and a guide. It is obvious that if someone is heedless and does not know that he is a traveler, he will remain in his place.

Since the people of knowledge consider sin to be poison, they have introduced repentance, atonement, good deeds, and doing good deeds as antidotes that wash away and eliminate the poison. It is not possible for a poisoned person to reach his destination. Therefore, those poisons are washed away beforehand by atonement, repentance, good deeds, and... and a person purified and free from poison finds his way to God, the Eternal.

Iran's foreign minister has congratulated the Palestinian people and their resistance for their historic victory over Israel in Gaza, saying the regime failed to achieve any of its objectives in the territory.

“Despite committing the gravest international crimes and killing tens of thousands of defenseless Palestinian women and children, the Zionist regime failed to achieve any of its sinister objectives and ultimately had to surrender and accept a ceasefire with the resistance groups it sought to annihilate,” Abbas Araghchi said.

He made the remarks in a Wednesday meeting with Ziyad al-Nakhaleh, the secretary-general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Araghchi highlighted the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian nation for self-determination and liberation from occupation over the past eight decades.

“The unity and cohesion among the Palestinian people, along with their legendary patience and steadfastness and support for the resistance despite all hardships and challenges, are enduring symbols of the Palestinian people’s legitimacy and victory.”

Araghchi underscored Iran's continued support for the Palestinian cause and the legitimate and lawful resistance of the Palestinian nation against the Zionist occupiers.

He described the joint Zionist-US plan for the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land as “a nefarious plot to erase Palestine.”

"This plan not only violates the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law but also constitutes a complete crime against humanity. Therefore, all governments have a legal and moral duty and responsibility to oppose its realization," he stated.

Araghchi referred to his consultations with foreign ministers of Islamic countries on this matter and cited the widespread support from Islamic nations at the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ministers as an indication of the strong opposition of the Islamic world to the colonial plan to cleanse Gaza.

Araghchi also stressed the necessity of prosecuting and punishing the Zionist regime's officials and their supporters and accomplices for committing genocide and called for expedited judicial processes in domestic and international courts on this issue.

In this meeting, Nakhaleh hailed Iran's courageous political and diplomatic support for the oppressed people of Palestine in regional and international forums.

He also praised the honorable support of the Resistance Axis in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq for the Palestinian people in confronting Zionist occupation and genocide.

He particularly lauded the courage and bravery of the great resistance leaders and commanders, especially the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

He said this support has bolstered the morale and perseverance of the Palestinian people and resistance in the face of the ruthlessness of Israel.

Nakhaleh emphasized unity and cohesion among resistance groups both on the field and in political arenas and said the Palestinian people are determined to continue resistance until they are freed from the yoke of the occupying and genocidal Zionist entity.

The Palestinian leader said the steadfast Palestinian people and their leaders are determined to defend their legitimate, legal, and human rights in the political arena just as they do on the battlefield.

The Iranian minister also held a meeting with the head of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces Faleh al-Fayyadh.

Araghchi placed a premium on the strategic and exceptional relationship between Iran and Iraq and described it as necessary for the officials of both countries to continue consultations and discussions on regional developments.

Fayyadh expressed satisfaction with his meetings and talks with Iranian officials and hailed Iran's support for the Iraqi government and people during the difficult times of fighting terrorism.

Iran’s defense minister says the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory operation against the Israeli regime, dubbed Operation True Promise II, has been more than 90% successful.

Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh made the remarks on the sidelines of a cabinet session on Wednesday, after Iran launched a barrage of long-range ballistic missiles towards Israel.

“Operation True Promise II was carried out with more than 90% success and was fully compliant with international laws,” he said.

Nasirzadeh went on to say that this countermeasure was carried out based on the United Nations Charter, stressing that Iran took military objectives into consideration.

“High-tech missiles with the ability to pass through the enemy's defense systems are aimed at the regime's military targets,” he added.

The Iranian defense minister also pointed to the previous notification about this operation, noting that intelligence centers were also used in this regard.

No civilian sites were among Iran's targets, he said, adding that three military bases and one intelligence and spying base of the Israeli regime were hit.

On Tuesday, Iran launched a barrage og missiles toward the Zionist entity’s military and intelligence and spying bases in a retaliatory attack which set off sirens all over the occupied Palestinian territories.

Flares and missiles were seen in the Tel Aviv sky and explosions could be heard in the occupied al-Quds, while “direct hits” were reported in Negev, Sharon, and other locations.

The operation came in response to the regime’s assassinations of Hamas’s chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan.

A high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said that Iran “must be ready for war, so that there is no war.”

Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division, made the remarks in a televised interview on Tuesday.

He said that the third retaliatory military operation against the Israeli regime will be carried out.

Hajizadeh pointed to the IRGC’s recent successes in the True Promise operations against Israel and noted that True Promise III will be realized soon.

"The Americans and the Zionists are looking for concessions, and their threats are mostly psychological,” he said referring to recent American and Israeli threats.

“We must be ready for war, so that there is no war, and we are sure that the enemies are not able to manage the conflicts," he stated.

He said the IRGC Aerospace Force’s production line has never stopped despite the enemies’ efforts to stop it.

“We always prepare ourselves for war, and by God’s grace, our production line has not stopped for a single day,” Hajizadeh said.

“The enemies were trying to disrupt our production chain, but our actions and cooperation with the Ministry of Defense prevented them from achieving their goal,” he said.

Hajizadeh also pointed to the increased attention of officials and the allocation of more resources to this area.

“These conditions have increased the motivation of employees and created a greater increase in production,” he stated.

Hajizadeh emphasized that concerns about war are unfounded and that the country's main problems are in the economic sphere, which requires special attention.

He called on the Iranian people not to worry and emphasized the importance of strengthening the economic sphere.

Israel's defeat in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood irreparable

Brigadier General Hajizadeh said that the Israeli regime suffered a major strategic defeat in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and lost its credit.

He described Operation al-Aqsa Flood as the biggest ever anti-Israeli operation, which led to an implosion within the regime.

The IRGC commander said despite all its savagery and use of force, Israel failed to achieve any of its projected goals in Gaza.

Hajizadeh said Israel’s atrocities following Hamas’s operation exposed the regime’s brutal and aggressive nature to the world.

He stressed that without US support, Israel would not have been able to recover from that defeat.

Iran's defense capabilities are due to efforts of revolutionary forces

Elsewhere in his remarks, Hajizadeh said, “The country's security is ensured thanks to the efforts and efforts of countless revolutionary, jihadi and expert forces.”

“Our expectation from the fighters, economic officers, businessmen and the private sector is that, just as we have overcome problems in the field of defense, they will also help solve problems in other sectors,” he stated.

Referring to Iran's military power, Hajizadeh said, “People should be confident that nothing can harm us and, by God's grace, we are strong in terms of defense.”

He also pointed to the accuracy of the missiles produced in recent years.

“In Operation True Promise II, one of our targets that were not given much attention was the armored units of the Zionist army in the Gaza Strip, which were targeted with very high accuracy in the middle of Gaza,” he said.

“The Zionist regime’s infantry and armored forces were present in that area, and we were able to accurately target that point,” he stated.

“This path continues to increase the accuracy of the missiles. The old missiles we have in stock require increased accuracy, and we are determined not to slack off in this regard,” he said.

In conclusion, Hajizadeh promised that with continuous efforts, the country’s defense capabilities would improve, and called on the Iranian nation to have confidence in their efforts.

Iran’s top military commander has warned that any threat to Iran’s security would have dire consequences for the Israeli regime and those potentially supporting its likely further acts of military aggression against the Islamic Republic.

“Our Armed Forces are at the peak of their readiness,” Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri said on Wednesday.

“If the enemy makes any mistake, the Zionist regime’s peace and that of those involved in its arming and operational planning will be at risk,” he added, speaking on the sidelines of the final phase of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 19 military drills by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Ground Forces.

Bagheri stressed that Iran's air defense system was in top form, with any minor damage that had been afflicted to it in the past, swiftly repaired.

“Iran's military forces are fully prepared for offensive operations, and missile production is progressing at high volume and quality without interruption,” the commander noted.

Bagheri also highlighted Iran’s advancements in drone technology, saying, “We have made extensive plans for deployment of microdrones and loitering drones in various military units,” he said.

“Mass deployment of these UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in both the IRGC Ground Forces and the Army is underway, and we will continue to equip other units based on operational needs.”

The commander’s comments came against the backdrop of Iran’s escalating deterrence strategy against the Israeli regime and its supporters.

Last year, the Islamic Republic demonstrated its military might with Operation True Promise I and II, retaliatory strikes launched in response to Israeli aggression.

Iran “must be ready for war, so that there is no war,” Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Corps’ Aerospace Division, said on Tuesday.

‘US support for Israeli genocide exposes Washington’s sinister nature’

Elsewhere in his remarks, Bagheri condemned the United States continued military and logistical support for the Israeli regime, particularly in light of the latter’s ongoing aggression against Palestinians.

“The criminal American support for the usurping, child-killing Zionist regime is nothing new,” he stated, adding, “The hypocrisy and deceit of the United States in arming Israel for genocide in the Gaza Strip have further exposed its sinister nature.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has described martyred Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his deputy and appointed successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine as symbols of resistance.

Baghaei said on Sunday their steadfastness in support of the oppressed people of Palestine will always be remembered.

The spokesman made the remarks in a post on X as the funeral ceremonies of Nasrallah and Safieddine were being held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Sunday.

“Nasrallah and Safieddine devoted their whole life to the cause of humanity and dignity by standing up against brutal occupation, oppression and injustice,” Baghaie said.

He went on to say that these two great men “symbolize graceful resistance” against occupation, aggression and support for the Palestinian people to achieve their fundamental right to self-determination.

“They are immortal now; every Muslim, and indeed every man/women of a good conscience, will always remember and exalt these devout heroes for their exemplary steadfastness, bravery and sacrifice in support of their fellow Muslims in occupied Palestine and for their patriotism and love of their homeland,” the spokesman said.

Baghaie further noted that today, peace-loving people across the globe and West Asia, alongside Muslims and the Lebanese people, will pay tribute to these two great martyrs.

"So let those fight in the way of Allah who exchange the life of this world for the Hereafter. And whoever fights in the way of Allah and is killed or victorious - We will give him a great reward," he said.

Nasrallah, the iconic leader of the Lebanese resistance, was assassinated in Israel’s strikes on southern Beirut on September 27, 2024, following the regime’s week-long bombing campaign that hit many areas from the country’s south to the capital.

Safieddine was also assassinated in an Israeli attack on October 3, 2024.

Hezbollah postponed funeral ceremonies for both leaders due to fears of Israeli attacks on the ceremony.

God Almighty has repeatedly revealed Khadijah's status and status in various ways, and has revealed her high status in the presence of God, as some examples are mentioned:

Special Divine Greeting

On many occasions, Gabriel sent a divinely-recommended and affirmative greeting to Khadijah. Abu Hurairah narrated that:

 "أتي جَبْرَئيلُ النَّبيَّ صلي الله عليه وآله، فَقالَ: هذِهِ خَديجَةُ قَدْ أتَتْكَ مَعَها إناءٌ مُغطّي فيه إدامٌ أوْ طَعامٌ أوْ شَرابٌ فَإذا هِيَ أتَتْكَ فَاقْرَأ عَلَيْها السَّلامَ مِنْ رَبِّها، وَمِنِّي السَّلام...؛ "

Gabriel came to the Prophet and said: Khadija will come to you with a covered vessel containing stew, food, or drink, so when she comes, convey to her the greetings of her Lord and my greetings.

In an other narration:

 "إنَّ جَبْرَئيلَ أتي النَّبِيَّ صلي الله عليه و آله فَقالَ إقْرَءْ خَديجَةَ مِنْ رَبِّها السَّلامَ فَقالَ رَسولُ الله صلي الله عليه و آله: يا خَديجَةُ هذا جَبْرَئيلُ يُقْرِئُكَ مِنْ رَبِّكِ السلامَ، قالَتْ خَديجَةُ: اللهُ السَّلامُ وَمِنْهُ السَّلامُ وَعَلي جَبْرئيلَ السَّلامُ"؛ 

Indeed, Gabriel came to the Prophet and said: “Give greetings to Khadijah from her Lord.” The Prophet said: “O Khadijah, this is Gabriel who conveys greetings from your Lord.” Khadijah said: “God is peace and peace is from Him, and peace be upon Gabriel.”

Khadijah was a unique wife for the Prophet.
