In a message to the Hajj pilgrims posted on the Leader’s official website on Monday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei described the ritual pilgrimage as a “heavenly, earthly, divine and communal obligation”.
Elsewhere in his comments, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to last year’s Mina crush which claimed the lives of over 4,700 pilgrims, including 465 Iranians, and said, “Several thousand families from different countries lost their loved ones and their nations were bereaved. From the Islamic Republic, close to five hundred people were among the martyrs. The hearts of their families are still broken and bereaved and our people remain grief-stricken and angry.”
“Instead of apology and remorse and judicial prosecution of those who were directly at fault in that horrifying event, Saudi rulers- with utmost shamelessness and insolence- refused to allow the formation of an international Islamic fact-finding committee.”
Ayatollah Khamenei further stressed, “The world of Islam, including Muslim governments and peoples, must familiarize themselves with the Saudi rulers and correctly understand their blasphemous, faithless, dependent and materialistic nature. They must not let those rulers escape responsibility for the crimes they have caused throughout the world of Islam.” Full story...
