Posted on by

shiite_khameneiIslamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with thousands of people from northern Mazandaran province Tuesday said there are many lessons in historical events that the nation could take in its future path, adding that different plots of enemy were futile during the past due to the faith and vigilance of people.Ayatollah Khamenei said some nations failed in their national aspirations because they were unprepared for facing with the challenges ahead and therefore their history could teach us to be ready for the threats ahead.

Ayatollah Khamenei then noted that in the past thirty years, the opponents of the Islamic System have made two major mistakes; they considered themselves superior to people and have relied on the enemies of the Iranian nation. Ayatollah Khamenei elaborated that the superior mood had caused the opponents to brand any legal action or choice of people as populist. The IR Leader added that the opponents of the System were seriously wrong in their reliance on enemies. 
The Leader said that the US plots in the past thirty years were evidently futile, adding that a clear proof to the argument was that the Islamic Republic of Iran was many times more powerful than the early revolutionary period and keeps its path more robustly.Ayatollah Khamenei expressed wonder that the enemies fail to take lesson from their past records and continue to push their plots against the Iranian nation.

“American authorities say they have approved a 45 million dollar budget to defeat the Islamic Republic through the Internet. This is the height of frustration of enemy because they have already spent many 45 million dollar sums in their fight against the Islamic System through diplomacy, sanctions, dispatching of spies, recruitment of henchmen and other methods, all futile,” the IR Leader said.

The Leader of Islamic Revolution referred to enemies’ inability to comprehend the reality of 1979 Revolution and power of the masses as the will of God and said the enemies of Iranian nation had long planned to incite riots in Tehran, but their efforts only made people become more determined in defending the Islamic Republic.

Ayatollah Khamenei asserted that recent events caused people to feel more obliged to defend the Islamic Republic.

The Leader of Islamic Revolution said some of the enemy plots were designed to make the Islamic Republic to budge, adding however that the Islamic administration will not budge to enemy and the late Imam Khomeini did too.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the nation has stood firm in demanding their rights and added that Iranians want to be a free, independent, and developing nation.

Ayatollah Khamenei said according to Islamic teachings, if the followers of truth are sincere they would overcome any obstacles and what the people have learned since the revolution has proven this.

Active participation in the scene was what the Leader of Islamic Revolution noted as the crucial duty of the people and officials especially the younger generation and those influential in the society.

The Leader of Islamic revolution added that everyone ought to feel responsible in defending the Islamic Republic of Iran and the December 30 rallies were the manifestation of this sense of responsibility. He added that people will show their liveliness in the forthcoming February 11 rallies. 

“The heads of three powers in the country should think of serving the nation with prudence as their solemn duty and should not let anything deter them in their task,” The Leader of Islamic Revolution said and added that the country’s forward movement shouldn’t be obstructed.

Ayatollah Khamenei also spoke of numerous evidences that show the hand of God is behind the nation. He expressed hope that with the help of God and Imam Mahdi’s praying the nation will achieve its lofty goals

Posted on by

youm-e-hussain-as1-300x225Thousands of students, teachers and employees of the Karachi University (KU) observed Yum-e-Imam Hussain (AS) on Thursday at the varsity campus with religious zeal and fervor to pay tribute to the grand sacrifices of Imam Hussain (AS), his progeny and followers for Islam and humanity. Hundreds of Rangers personnel were deputed in and around the KU and the programme venue to handle any untoward situation. “Yom-e-Hussain” is an annual convention of the University of Karachi in which renowned Naat Khuan, Noha Khwan and eminent scholars and speakers from all over Pakistan actively participate. Speaking in the sacred gathering, Maulana Agha Syed Jawad Naqvi appreciated the efforts made by the KU administration, students and members of Imamia Students Organization (ISO) to organize such a sacred and blissful gathering. He regarded Karbala an ocean with immense depth. “There is a lot to learn from Karbala, Imam Hussain (AS) and the sacrifices he and his family made to save Islam. We should not move with Hussain history, instead the need is to move with him in reality, revolution and change. Each of us should act as Hussain because when we follow Hussain in his method, thought and spirit we can revive the soul of Karbala. It should be remembered that our current social and moral problems emerged out of our negligence; we should not let any more Yazeeds to spring up in Muslim nations. Don’t forget that only those nations are able to make themselves an icon of solidarity which has accepted the message of Karbala,” he added.

KU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Pirzada Qasim Raza Siddiqui said, “We should convey the message of Imam Hussain (AS) to the humanity that peace lies with truth and truth is confirmed with one who sacrifices and sacrifice comes with full trust in God and divine justice. Peace is not possible and uncertainty cannot be dispelled unless all people of the world, individually and collectively, follow the path of Karbala, which leads to the truth and show of magnanimous moral courage for immorality.”

Maulana Abbas Waziri said that Hussain was a personality who lived with the message of Allah and sought inspirations from the message for all aspects of his personality. It is impossible to confine Hussain and Karbala to a certain time or place or a group of people, he said.

Prof Dr Ehsan ul Haq, Department of Arabic, said that we should look for commonalities among Muslims, the only way through which we can fight against negative powers. Prof Zahid Ali Zahidi, Maulana Atta-ur-Rehman, and other speakers said that whoever is with the Karbala of Imam Hussain cannot pledge allegiance to an oppressor, nor can he stand along with him. The incident of Karbala is the most tragic incident of Human history but there is a lot to learn from this tragedy.  At this holy event, special security measures were taken by Security Advisor, Prof Dr Khalid Iraqi. ISO scouts were also called to take care of the discipline in the event. Stalls from various political parties including PSA, APMSO, PSF and ISO were also placed at the varsity. Sabeel-e-Imam Hussain was placed as a reminder to the impending thirst which Imam Hussain (A.S) and his family had to face.

yaman 5The leader of Yemeni Shia Houthis Abdul Malak al-Houthi announced on Monday the withdrawal of Zaidi fighters from positions they had occupied inside Saudi Arabia since fighting broke out on the border in November.
“We announce our full withdrawal from all Saudi territory,” al-Huthi said in an audio message, describing the move as an “initiative.” He warned, however, that the Houthis would launch an “open war” if the Saudi forces attack them.

Saudi Arabia on January 12 announced that the Houthis were ousted from their last foothold within the kingdom, but the Houthis swiftly denied the report and said they were still in control of the border village of Al-Jabiri.
“The initiative comes because we are keen on stopping the bloodshed and bring to an end the aggression against civilians” in villages in north Yemen, Houthi said. “This is to present a real chance for peace… in the interest of the two peoples that are neighbors,” he said.

“If the Saudi regime maintains its aggression after this initiative, it would be showing that its intention is not to defend its territory, but to invade our areas” in north Yemen, Houthi said. “This would give us the right to open many fronts and launch an open war.”
Houthi reiterated that the reason behind the fighting with Saudi Arabia was its “regime’s decision to open its land and military bases to the Yemeni army to use in aggression against us.” It was also because of “the Saudi air force’s participation in striking” areas of north Yemen, he added

The air raids were launched against the fighters after they withdrew from at least 46 positions along the Saudi-Yemeni border.

In a message posted on the internet on Monday, al-Houthi offered a truce to Saudi Arabia to avoid further civilian casualties. He however threatened to wage an “open war” should Riyadh continue attacks on northern Yemen.
