On 25/8/2024, the Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei wrote that (the battle between the Hussaini front and the front of Yazid is a continuous battle; the issue is one of injustice and oppression. Imam Hussein, upon his departure to Karbala, defined the aim of the Hussaini front, which is struggle against injustice: I am at peace with whoever is at peace with you, and I am at war with whoever is at war with you until the Day of Resurrection. The battle between the Hussaini front and the front of Yazid is ongoing and has no end). This concludes Khamenei’s statement. Ten days prior, on 15/8/2024, he spoke about (non-tactical retreat before the enemy, which incurs the wrath of ALLAH: retreat can sometimes be a tactic like advancement, and there is no harm in it).
We condemn the statements made by the Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, who divided the Muslim Ummah into Yazid and Hussaini allegiances, showing hostility towards Sunni Muslims across the Islamic world. All Muslims believe that Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is one of their Imams and one of the great companions, may ALLAH be pleased with them, holding a significant status. He is considered a martyr by consensus of the Ummah. Khamenei’s statements are directed against Arab identity and Islam, and Iran today occupies Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen, fighting the Islamic community in its own territories on behalf of its enemies, as they seeking to overthrow all governing systems in Arab and Islamic countries.
We have observed gradual calming down in Iranian responses, leading to fatwas that threaten Muslims and their countries, focusing their attention solely on infringing Iran’s sovereignty while neglecting the defense of resistance and the assassination of Haniya, may ALLAH have mercy on him.
In the tweets, there are clear messages in the fatwas of the Iranian leader.
The first message is directed to the United States, Britain, Israel, and the West, indicating that their battle is with Sunni Muslims in the Islamic world, not against them. This conflict, he asserts, will not end until the Day of Judgment, and despite the escalation, they are retreating in a tactical manner, which he describes as a form of progress.
The second message is aimed at Shia in Iran and the Arab and Islamic world, emphasizing that there is no need to respond to the killing of Mr. Ismail Haniya, even though he was a formal guest in Iran. Khamenei consider and describes him as one of the leaders of Sunni Muslims that Yazid belong to them.
Khamenei states:
(The battle is ongoing and has no end). This is a message to Arab and Muslim leaders, indicating that they are planning and working to topple Arab and Islamic capitals following Damascus, Beirut, Baghdad, and Sana’a.
It is the most dangerous fatwa issued by the Iranian system of Wilayat Al- Faqih since Khomeini’s fatwa for exporting the revolution, which led to the devastation of land and people in Iraq and Iran during an eight-year war, where Iraqis resisted this project and thwarted it for twenty-five years.
After the occupation and destruction of Iraq, the Wilayat Al- Faqih system resumed implementing its project with the fatwa of the highest Shia authority, Sistani, which provided legal cover for the militias linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard under the name of (Hashd al-Shaabi or the popular mobilization forces). This group has now become a Revolutionary Guard operating in several Arab countries, looting, killing, and threatening international peace.
Now, Khamenei’s fatwas suggest that there is a coalition of the American democratic left supporting the system of Wilayat Al- Faqih in order to ignite wars and discord in the Arab and Islamic region.
*The Opinion: *
- We call upon the leaders of our Arab and Islamic Ummah to unite on a common word to confront the schemes being plotted against Islam and Muslims which aimed at toppling governments and enabling the rule of the jurist and its affiliates in the Islamic and Arab world.
- We urge our esteemed brothers in the leadership of the Islamic world to support the true national forces in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Palestine to restore the sovereignty of these countries and protect the Ummah from future repercussions through an urgent rescue project.
- There should be recognition of the Afghan government and fostering cooperation with it, as well as aligning and cooperating with the Republic of Azerbaijan to weaken the destructive Iranian project in the region and, by God’s will, to ensure its elimination.
- Efforts must be made to restore the “revolution” of Iran to the “state” of Iran, and to reintegrate “the Arab Ahwaz state” into its Arab and Islamic Ummah.
- We must capitalize on the historical moment presented by Russian President Putin, who is showcasing rapprochement to forge alliances with the Islamic Ummah, demonstrated by his act of carrying, kissing, and reciting the Quran, to limit the Persian colonial project and other colonial challenges.
- There must be intensified media efforts to document the criminal record of the Wilayat Al- Faqih regime and its arms in the region, highlighting its existential threat to the Islamic Ummah and Arab states, as well as its complete abandonment of the Palestinians, conspiracy against them and the Palestinian cause.
- We warn the Arab and Islamic peoples against being led astray by the advocates of revolutions for changes that contradict the tenets of the Sharia and national interests, which would serve to open the doors of Islamic and Arab countries to the rule Wilayat Al- Faqih and its followers. The downfall of Arab and Islamic armies means an occupation of Cairo, Amman, Mecca, Medina, and other capitals of the Ummah by Iran, which is openly called for by the Wilayat Al- Faqih regime.
- We call on Muslims and Islamic organizations in the United States to vote in the upcoming presidential elections against the American democratic left and its upcoming project, which serves the destructive project of Wilayat Al- Faqih in the Middle East.
