Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a message on the occasion of the great and glorious Hajj Congress, called "human scope" and "spiritual power of Islam" as two aspects of the Hajj obligation and emphasized the tragedy of Gaza, which is unique in contemporary history: The acquittal of the Zionist regime and its supporters, especially the United States, should continue this year beyond the Hajj season, in Muslim-populated countries and cities, and spread to the people.

In this message, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, referring to the dimensions of the complex rites of Hajj, considered it a strength of heart for Muslims and terrifying and awe-inspiring for ill-wishers and pointed out that the Qur'an, while expressing the secrets and secrets of the complex composition of Hajj, is a manifestation of moral peace and reconciliation of Muslims. And it introduces the manifestation of disgust and powerful fronting against the enemies, and the pilgrims should bring their thoughts and actions closer to these popular teachings and bring back the recovered identity mixed with these sublime concepts as valuable souvenirs of the Hajj journey.

Ayatollah Khamenei, referring to the crimes of the brutal and deteriorating Zionist regime in Gaza, added: The issue of innocence is more prominent this year than in the past, because the tragedies in Gaza have left no room for consideration or appeasement for any individual, party, government, and sect of Muslims. This innocence should show itself in the words and actions of nations and governments and make the arena narrow for the executioners and their supporters.

At the end of his message, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution praised the steely resistance of Palestine and the patient and oppressed people of Gaza, emphasizing that this resistance should be fully supported.

The text of the message of the great leader of the Islamic Revolution to the pilgrims of Baitullah al-Haram is as follows:

in the name of God

And praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the goodness of our master Muhammad al-Mustafa and his family and companions, and I will follow them with goodness until the Day of Judgment.

The heartwarming song of Ibrahimi, who, by the command of God, calls all people to the Kaaba in the Hajj season, this year has attracted the hearts of many Muslims from all over the world, this base of monotheism and unity, and created this magnificent and diverse crowd of people. He has brought, and has drawn the human scope and the power of the spiritual factor of Islam to his soul and alien. 

The huge gathering and the complex rituals of Hajj, whenever viewed with a thoughtful eye, are a source of strength and confidence for a Muslim, and terrifying and awe-inspiring for an enemy and ill-wisher. 

It is not surprising if the enemies and ill-wishers of the Islamic Ummah target these two aspects of the Hajj obligation to destroy and doubt; Either by highlighting religious and political differences, or by downplaying the sacred and spiritual aspects. 

The Qur'an introduces Hajj as a manifestation of servitude, remembrance and humility, a manifestation of the equal dignity of human beings, a manifestation of the organization of human material and spiritual life, a manifestation of blessing and guidance, a manifestation of moral peace and practical compromise between brothers, and a manifestation of aversion and powerful fronting against enemies. 

Thinking about the verses related to Hajj and reflecting on the actions and rituals of this unique duty shows us these and secrets like these in the complex composition of Hajj. 

You, the pilgrim brother and sister, are now in the field of practicing these truths and knowledge. Bring your thought and action closer and closer to it, and return home the recovered identity mixed with these sublime concepts. This is the valuable and true souvenir of your Hajj trip. 

This year, the issue of innocence is more prominent than in the past. The tragedies of Gaza, which are unique in our contemporary history, and the arrogance of the ruthless regime and the embodiment of cruelty and brutality, and of course the decline of Zionism, have left no room for any consideration or appeasement for any individual, party, government, or Muslim sect. This year's acquittal should continue beyond the Hajj season and Miqat, in Muslim countries and cities all over the world, and beyond the Hajj pilgrims, it should spread to the people.

This acquittal of the Zionist regime and its supporters, especially the government of the United States of America, should show itself in the words and actions of nations and governments and narrow the field for the executioners. 

The steely resistance of Palestine, and the patient and oppressed people of Gaza, whose glory of patience and resistance has made the world admire and honor them, must be supported in every way. 

I ask God for a complete and quick victory for them, and I pray for you, dear pilgrims, a successful Hajj. May the answered prayer of Hazrat Baqiya Allah (soul of self-sacrifice) support you.

Peace and blessings be upon you

Seyyed Ali Khamenei
