🇮🇶 | Statement of gratitude by the representative of Imam Ayatullah Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei (H) in Iraq on the historic funeral of Martyr Grand Ayatullah Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei (r) and his oppressed family in Iraq:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Exalted

“Among the believers are men who have remained true to the covenant they made with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, while others still await, and they have never changed in the least.” (Qur’an 33:23)

The noble people of Iraq have once again demonstrated, through their awareness and faith, a heroic stance, recording an unparalleled chapter in history with their magnificent participation in the funeral of the Leader and Martyr of the Ummah, Imam Khamenei (r).

In doing so, they thwarted the enemy’s attempts to drive a wedge between the two great nations of Iran and Iraq, instilling despair in their impure hearts by proving that these two peoples can never be separated, for they stand together in the same trench against every failed plot and repeated scheme of the enemy.

The Iraqi people, with all their communities, tribes, and schools of thought, were determined to fulfill the sacred wish of the martyred Imam Khamenei to visit the holy shrines. By the grace of Allah, this was realized through the immense presence of believing men and women who gathered to honor and revere him, remaining loyal to the great martyr and his oppressed family. Their pure blood was sacrificed to uphold the Word of Allah and preserve the unity of the Ummah.

Accordingly, we extend our deepest gratitude to Iraq, its people, and its government in all its institutions, as well as to the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al Shaabi), the police, the security services, and the Iraqi Armed Forces.

We also offer our heartfelt appreciation to the blessed religious authority (Marja’iyyah), the historic Hawza of Najaf, its scholars, teachers, and students. Our thanks are likewise extended to the custodians and servants of the holy shrines, to every segment of Iraqi society, and to its noble tribes for the heroic positions they adopted and their remarkable participation during this critical historical moment. Their honorable stance will never be forgotten by history. Friend and foe alike have acknowledged that this funeral was without equal, as Najaf al Ashraf and Karbala al Mu’alla embraced the blessed body of the great martyr, his oppressed family, and the countless mourners who came from Iraq and many other countries.

We pray to Almighty Allah to grant success to the two great nations of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the fraternal, faithful Republic of Iraq, and to protect them from every evil and calamity. Indeed, He is the All Hearing, the Ever Responsive.

— Sayyid Mujtaba al Husayni

Representative of Imam Mujtaba Khamenei (H) in Iraq.

🥀 | The miracle of Imam Khamenei was that he remained completely devoted to the path laid down by Imam Husayn (A). It was this firm commitment that earned him such greatness, bringing together an estimated 43 million mourners at his funeral, with countless more across the world grieving and commemorating him.

Now think of the founder of this path, Imam Husayn (A), who began this movement over 1,400 years ago in Karbala. The beloved grandson of the Prophet (S), whose blessed headless body remained upon the plains of Karbala for days after Ashura, without a funeral or a procession.

It is often said that Imam Husayn (A) gives to his lovers what he himself was deprived of.

السلام عليك يا أبا عبد الله الحسين (ع)

Assalamu alayka ya Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (A).
