Leader of Islamic Ummah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei to students: Live like Hussein and follow his footsteps

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has advised Iranian youth to stick to the path of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam, and not to be diverted by “satanic attractions”.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks during a meeting with mourning student congregations in Tehran on Wednesday on the occasion of Arba’een, which marks the 40th day after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)’s grandson in the holy Iraqi city of Karbala.

“As you walked firmly on the Arba’een march, you should be strong and resolute in the path of divine rule and always live like Imam Hussein (AS) and follow his path,” the Leader told the young people who participated in the million-strong Arba’een procession.

He also said that the youth should not be diverted from the direct path by “satanic attractions”.

“If you resist, then you will conquer the mountaintop,” Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized, adding that every young person can be “a light torch” on his surroundings.
