Imam Hussain(S) is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (S) and the son of both Imam Ali (A) and Lady Fatimah (A). Prophet Muhammad (S) adored him and credited him with a number of important merits during his life. However some 50 years later he was brutally massacred for refusing to side with a corrupt tyrant. This is the story of Imam Hussain (A).

The Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s earlier deadly attacks against western Yemen, warning that such aggression risks exacerbating the already dire situation in the region.

Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks on Saturday, hours after Israeli warplanes targeted civilian buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in the Yemeni province of al-Hudaydah, causing a number of casualties.

Kan’ani said by attacking Yemen, the regime was seeking to exact a toll on the oppressed but strong Yemeni people for their honorable support for the innocent Palestinian civilians.

He considered perpetuation of the Israeli massacres and siege in Gaza to be the root cause of current regional tensions, asserting the region would not get to experience calm again as long as the regime continued its violations against the coastal sliver.

The spokesman concluded his remarks by saying that the Zionist regime and its supporters, including the United States, were directly responsible for the dangerous and unpredictable repercussions that could follow perpetuation of violations against Gaza and adventuristic attacks on Yemen.

Yemen’s Armed Forces vow to keep up their pro-Palestinian operations after the Israeli regime attacks civilian targets in the Arab Peninsula country as means of trying to deter Sana’a from carrying out the strikes.

The forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree made the remarks on Saturday, hours after Israeli warplanes targeted buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in the western Yemeni province of al-Hudaydah, causing a number of casualties.

He described the airstrikes as “heinous aggression” that had targeted civilian structures.

The Yemeni forces, however, the official added, “will not stop their support operations for our brothers in Gaza, regardless of the consequences and results.”

The forces have been targeting the occupied Palestinian territories as well as Israeli ships and vessels affiliated with the occupying regime since October 7, when Tel Aviv began a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.

They have vowed to keep up their operations as long as the regime sustained the war and a simultaneous siege that it has been enforcing against the Palestinian territory.

Adding to his remarks, Saree likewise asserted that the forces “are preparing for a long war with this enemy until the aggression ceases, the siege is lifted, and all crimes committed against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are stopped.”

He also said Yemen reserved the right to retaliate in kind against the Israeli regime over the Saturday attack against al-Hudaydah.

“They (the Yemeni forces) will respond to this heinous aggression and will not hesitate to strike vital targets of the Israeli enemy,” the official stated.

In the same context, he reiterated an earlier statement by the forces, in which they had warned that the coastal city of Tel Aviv in the occupied territories was no longer a safe place as it was within the range of Yemeni weapons.

The forces carried out a drone strike against the city on Friday in their most daring attack against the regime since the onset of the Gaza war.

Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a message on the occasion of the great and glorious Hajj Congress, called "human scope" and "spiritual power of Islam" as two aspects of the Hajj obligation and emphasized the tragedy of Gaza, which is unique in contemporary history: The acquittal of the Zionist regime and its supporters, especially the United States, should continue this year beyond the Hajj season, in Muslim-populated countries and cities, and spread to the people.

In this message, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, referring to the dimensions of the complex rites of Hajj, considered it a strength of heart for Muslims and terrifying and awe-inspiring for ill-wishers and pointed out that the Qur'an, while expressing the secrets and secrets of the complex composition of Hajj, is a manifestation of moral peace and reconciliation of Muslims. And it introduces the manifestation of disgust and powerful fronting against the enemies, and the pilgrims should bring their thoughts and actions closer to these popular teachings and bring back the recovered identity mixed with these sublime concepts as valuable souvenirs of the Hajj journey.

Ayatollah Khamenei, referring to the crimes of the brutal and deteriorating Zionist regime in Gaza, added: The issue of innocence is more prominent this year than in the past, because the tragedies in Gaza have left no room for consideration or appeasement for any individual, party, government, and sect of Muslims. This innocence should show itself in the words and actions of nations and governments and make the arena narrow for the executioners and their supporters.

At the end of his message, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution praised the steely resistance of Palestine and the patient and oppressed people of Gaza, emphasizing that this resistance should be fully supported.

The text of the message of the great leader of the Islamic Revolution to the pilgrims of Baitullah al-Haram is as follows:

in the name of God

And praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the goodness of our master Muhammad al-Mustafa and his family and companions, and I will follow them with goodness until the Day of Judgment.

The heartwarming song of Ibrahimi, who, by the command of God, calls all people to the Kaaba in the Hajj season, this year has attracted the hearts of many Muslims from all over the world, this base of monotheism and unity, and created this magnificent and diverse crowd of people. He has brought, and has drawn the human scope and the power of the spiritual factor of Islam to his soul and alien. 

The huge gathering and the complex rituals of Hajj, whenever viewed with a thoughtful eye, are a source of strength and confidence for a Muslim, and terrifying and awe-inspiring for an enemy and ill-wisher. 

It is not surprising if the enemies and ill-wishers of the Islamic Ummah target these two aspects of the Hajj obligation to destroy and doubt; Either by highlighting religious and political differences, or by downplaying the sacred and spiritual aspects. 

The Qur'an introduces Hajj as a manifestation of servitude, remembrance and humility, a manifestation of the equal dignity of human beings, a manifestation of the organization of human material and spiritual life, a manifestation of blessing and guidance, a manifestation of moral peace and practical compromise between brothers, and a manifestation of aversion and powerful fronting against enemies. 

Thinking about the verses related to Hajj and reflecting on the actions and rituals of this unique duty shows us these and secrets like these in the complex composition of Hajj. 

You, the pilgrim brother and sister, are now in the field of practicing these truths and knowledge. Bring your thought and action closer and closer to it, and return home the recovered identity mixed with these sublime concepts. This is the valuable and true souvenir of your Hajj trip. 

This year, the issue of innocence is more prominent than in the past. The tragedies of Gaza, which are unique in our contemporary history, and the arrogance of the ruthless regime and the embodiment of cruelty and brutality, and of course the decline of Zionism, have left no room for any consideration or appeasement for any individual, party, government, or Muslim sect. This year's acquittal should continue beyond the Hajj season and Miqat, in Muslim countries and cities all over the world, and beyond the Hajj pilgrims, it should spread to the people.

This acquittal of the Zionist regime and its supporters, especially the government of the United States of America, should show itself in the words and actions of nations and governments and narrow the field for the executioners. 

The steely resistance of Palestine, and the patient and oppressed people of Gaza, whose glory of patience and resistance has made the world admire and honor them, must be supported in every way. 

I ask God for a complete and quick victory for them, and I pray for you, dear pilgrims, a successful Hajj. May the answered prayer of Hazrat Baqiya Allah (soul of self-sacrifice) support you.

Peace and blessings be upon you

Seyyed Ali Khamenei

4 Dhul Hijjah 1445

In a letter to American students supporting the Palestinian people, Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, said, "You are now standing on the right side of history."

The beginning of this letter of support says, "You are now part of the Resistance Front, and you have begun a dignified struggle under the ruthless police pressure of your government that evidently defends the oppressive and brutal Zionist regime."

Referring to the reasons and factors behind the formation of the great Resistance Front and its struggle against the occupying Zionist regime, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said in the letter, "From the very beginning, the Zionist regime carried out an iron fist policy against the defenceless people of Palestine. They disregard all moral, human, and religious values and, day by day, escalate their ruthlessness, terrorism, and oppression. The US government and its accomplices did not even lift a finger against this state terrorism and ongoing injustice."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Resistance Front emerged from this dark and despondent atmosphere, and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran expanded and empowered them. He asked, "Can a nation defending itself against the crimes of Zionist occupiers in its own land be considered terrorist? And should giving humanitarian aid to this nation and strengthening its arms be considered as support for terrorism?"

Addressing the young Americans supporting Palestine, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution told them, "I want to assure you that today, the situation is changing. Another fate awaits the sensitive region of West Asia. Many consciences have awakened on a global scale, and the truth is becoming clear. The Resistance Front has also grown stronger and will continue to strengthen while history is also turning a new page."

Ayatollah Khamenei spoke about protests in support of the Palestinian people in other countries, as well as the support and solidarity of university professors with their students and mentioned the police crackdown, saying, "I empathise with you, young people, and I respect your steadfastness."

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution concluded his letter by recommending that Muslims become familiar with the Quran, saying, "For us Muslims and for all people of the world, the lesson of the Quran is perseverance in the path of truth. Regarding human relations, the lesson of the Quran is that we should neither commit nor submit to oppression. By comprehensively adhering to and acting upon these commandments and hundreds of similar cases, the Resistance Front will advance and will achieve victory, God willing."

"Rawzat al-Nabi" is a pure or holy grave, the place between the pulpit and the shrine of the Prophet (PBUH) in Masjid al-Nabi, which is called heavenly and very holy in the prophetic hadith. There are three holy places within the boundaries of Roza Motahar: the Holy Shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the pulpit and the mihrab.

Pilgrimage to Rouza-ul-Nabi in this way started last year to control the crowd of pilgrims in this part of Masjid-ul-Nabi.

Of course, to enter Rouza al-Nabi in this way, pilgrims have to stand in long queues to get the chance to visit.

With the arrangements made by the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization of the countries, pilgrims are booked in the form of caravans and groups by these organizations.

The registration process is in such a way that this system offers a few free times. Pilgrims are registered in male and female groups and a separate permit is obtained for each group.

According to the hours recorded on the sheet, people who enter the Rizwan cemetery have the opportunity to benefit from this spiritual space and offer prayers and supplications near the sacred shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for about half an hour.
