POSTERS: Key points of Imam Khamenei’s Hajj 2022 message

Today, liberalism and communism, the most significant contributions of Western civilization, no longer have the same appeal they did 50 years ago. The credibility of capital-driven Western democracy is being seriously questioned, and Western thinkers admit they are at a theoretical and practical loss. [July 5, 2022]

The Arrogant West has become weaker throughout the whole world. The distress of the United States and its criminal accomplice, the usurper Zionist regime in the region, can clearly be seen in the recent events of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan. [July 5, 2022]

The enemies of Muslim nations have undertaken an extensive drive to weaken the bolstering elixir of Islamic spirituality among our nations. The enemies of Islam strive to weaken spirituality by promoting a western lifestyle that is devoid of spirituality and which is rooted in a short-sighted, materialistic vision of the world.

Praise God, the Almighty and Wise, for once again having made the blessed month of Dhu al-Hijjah a meeting place for the Muslim nations and for having made this path of His grace and mercy available to them. The Islamic nation can once again observe its unity and harmony in this clear, timeless mirror, and [take this opportunity to] turn away from factors that lead to disunity and division. [July 5, 2022]

The situation in Palestine is one of the manifestations of the amazing phenomenon of Resistance that has been able to bring down the rebellious Zionist regime from its state of aggression to a defensive, passive stance. Other brilliant examples of Islamic Resistance can be seen in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. [July 5, 2022]

The unity of the Muslim nation is one of the two basic foundations of the Hajj Pilgrimage. When this foundation is combined with spirituality and remembering God (dhikr)–which together comprise the other basic foundation of this religious duty–they can take the Islamic nation to attain the heights of honor and felicity.
