The most esteemed global figure in Shia Islam is the Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei, who is deemed a Marja. The only higher authority than a Marja cleric is the Qur’an itself.
Khanenei delivered a rare public sermon following the killing of Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah. He encouraged a doubling down of jihad as he extolled Nasrallah’s “martyrdom,” and hailed Hizballah and Nasrallah for their “vital service to the entire region and the entire Muslim world.”
Khamenei emphasized the goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran to obliterate Israel in line with the “resistance” from the River to the Sea, and declared:
God is with those who tread this path. “And Allah is indeed able to help them” (Quran 22:39).
May God’s greetings and peace be upon the martyred leader, [Sayyid Hassan] Nasrallah; the martyred hero, [Ismail] Haniyeh; and the honorable commander, Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani.
Yet there are those who presume to know more about Islam than the ayatollah himself by insisting that Islam is a religion of peace, and who believe that Western-style negotiations and a nuke deal would constitute a workable solution to peace in the region. For those who heap accusations of “Islamophobia” upon truth-tellers, the ayatollah’s speech shows up their levels of either deceit or ignorance.
“Leader: Iran Will Neither Hesitate Nor Hasten to Respond to Israel,” Tasmin News Agency, October 4, 2024:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hailing the Iranian Armed Forces for their recent legitimate missile attack on Israeli military targets as a punishment for the Zionist regime, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said Iran will not either procrastinate or hurry to perform its duties.
Ayatollah Khamenei led the Friday Prayer on October 4 at the Grand Musalla (prayer hall) of Tehran after attending a commemoration ceremony honoring the Mujahid on the path of God and the standard-bearer of Resistance, Martyr Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The highlights and the full text of the first sermon will be published shortly.
The following is the full text of the second sermon, which was delivered in Arabic, addressing mainly the brave nations of Lebanon and Palestine:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Worlds. I praise Him, turn to Him for help, plead Him for forgiveness, and put my trust in Him. And I ask Him to send blessings and greetings upon His beloved, the Great Messenger, our Master and Prophet, Muhammad al-Mustafa; upon his immaculate Household, especially the Commander of the Faithful; upon his beloved Zahra al-Marziah; upon Hassan and Hussain, the Masters of the Youth of Paradise; upon Ali ibn al-Hussain Zayn al-Abidin; upon Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir; upon Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq; upon Musa ibn Ja’far al-Kadhim; upon Ali ibn Musa al-Reza; upon Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jawad; upon Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hadi; upon Hassan ibn Ali al-Zakki al-Askari; and upon Hujjat al-Qaem al-Mahdi. Greetings and peace be upon them all. And I send greetings and peace upon their chosen companions, upon those who follow them in virtue until the Day of Judgement, upon the supporters of those who are suppressed, and upon the guardians of the believers.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I believe it is necessary to honor my brother, my dear one, who was a source of pride for me….

Too bad the al Aqsa mosque didn’t get leveled by the Iranian rocket attack on Israel some days ago
Taffy says
Israel should’ve razed it and blamed iran
bagsgroove says
The iranians should be desttroyed,without one single iranian allowed to say “I ran away “
SC says
Absolutely. And let that be a warning to every warmongering islamic group. They need to become more afraid of us infidels than they are of their extremist mullahs.
James Hoagland says
It is not Iranians; it is shia Islam. Be aware of the ethnicity. Persians are not Arabs!

The snake wants to appear bold and unafraid…*no hesitation in destroying*…but he’s scared of failure and his own death…*no hurry*…The no hurry explains the hesitation, so those who follow his every ugly, evil word will still wait for his next evil announcement and bragging.
Justice will find this ghoul, just as it did the hezbollah and hamas ”leaders.’ He’s abundantly sowing evil seeds. His reaping of the bitter harvest will be right on time.
Israel knows where he is.
Transmaster says
Hashem Safieddine, nominated to be the new leader of Hezbollah was eliminated. He was attending a meeting of the Hezbollah Shura Council to be confirmed. He was eliminated along with the entire Shura council. This is what is being reported inside Lebon. Hashem Safieddine has been confirmed to be dead. With the 5 members of Shura Council also eliminated the entire upper leadership of Hezbollah is gone.
Hezbollah is so hated by the Lebanese Israel has no problem keeping track of where the Hezbollah leadership is.
FYI says
Hashem.
Sounds like another BIG CLUE to…
stop messing with Israel
HA-SHEM .interesting word.
In Arabic it means “breaker”
In Iran there are places i believe called hashem
[Raisis death in a Helicopter crash:;i can’t prove it but…it seems the God of Israel is never to be messed with and delivers Justice]
In Hebrew it means..GOD
Did HASHEM allow the breaker to be broken?
Taffy says
Does anyone know what the bald lawn tractor tire Nasrallah, Safieddine, and the Ayatollah wear on their heads called?
Transmaster says
The headdress worn by Shi’a clerics is called an amameh, which is a turban made of 11 meters of thin cotton material. The turban is a symbol of religious legitimacy and infallibility in Shi’a theology. The white turban is worn by scholars, the black turban by those who by their family tree are descendants of Muhammad.
Taffy says
Thanks!
Rufolino says
Eleven metres ! Wow !
Pity they don’t chop it up for him to do a dance of the Seven Veils. That would be a sight.
Oh I forgot, Islam doesn’t allow fun.
Transmaster says
The IDF has informed Iran that it will start to shoot down cargo planes flying in military supplies to Hezbollah. Already at least one 747 cargo plane has turned back to Iran.
FYI says
Not to spoil the party for hizbollah{the party of allah] but there are a few problems with ali’s speech ..
allah cannot be Compassionate if he sends good people to hell for being non-muslim koran 98:6 or “people with blackened faces”..koran 3:106 ..unless their faces turn white koran 3:107
allah cannot be merciful if he does not permit final penitence koran 4:18
allah cannot be God if he is provably NOT OMNISCIENT despite insisting he is koran 2:29
allah cannot be the “lord of worlds” if he clearly doesn’t understand celestial mechanics/Astronomy
allah cannot be the same as the Biblical/Torah God if he is teaching CONTRARY to the Torah laws given to Moses*:” love thy neighbor”{2nd Chief Commandment} is impossible in islam due to koran 5:51.allah’s claim that muslims must not be friends with Jews{who believe in someone called Ezra the son of allah} or Christians{who worship THREE gods apparently Jesus the muslim,allah and…Mary}koran 5:116{pickthall}
allah complely MISSED the Golden Rule..Prophecy
etc
muslim scholars may respond by
1}desperately fiddling the Arabic{won’t work!}
or
2}attacking the Bible
By all means check the Bible:allah recommends it to muhammed{tulips ,cuddlesand confetti upon him}
Check out the Book of Zechariah {especially chapters 12-14},the REAL TORAH….
koran 10:94{pickthall version anyway}
*mystery of mysteries:the astonishing tale of musa the muslim Moses.
How did Moses end up a muslim?Like Abraham..who was not a Jew{“Abraham was not a Jew” koran 3:67
Food for thought{halal/kosher/vegan/soylent green snacks..}
abu taleb says
Ordinary muslims should wonder why those preachers who call for jihad never go for jihad themselves, only ask zakat money for the jihad expenses. And they get richer and richer.
But those who think like that will be considered as “munafiqun” (leterally means hypocrites, I think) and become the enemies of Islam and the preachers.
So better staying dumb (and dumber)
