In a letter to American students supporting the Palestinian people, Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, said, "You are now standing on the right side of history."

The beginning of this letter of support says, "You are now part of the Resistance Front, and you have begun a dignified struggle under the ruthless police pressure of your government that evidently defends the oppressive and brutal Zionist regime."

Referring to the reasons and factors behind the formation of the great Resistance Front and its struggle against the occupying Zionist regime, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said in the letter, "From the very beginning, the Zionist regime carried out an iron fist policy against the defenceless people of Palestine. They disregard all moral, human, and religious values and, day by day, escalate their ruthlessness, terrorism, and oppression. The US government and its accomplices did not even lift a finger against this state terrorism and ongoing injustice."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Resistance Front emerged from this dark and despondent atmosphere, and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran expanded and empowered them. He asked, "Can a nation defending itself against the crimes of Zionist occupiers in its own land be considered terrorist? And should giving humanitarian aid to this nation and strengthening its arms be considered as support for terrorism?"

Addressing the young Americans supporting Palestine, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution told them, "I want to assure you that today, the situation is changing. Another fate awaits the sensitive region of West Asia. Many consciences have awakened on a global scale, and the truth is becoming clear. The Resistance Front has also grown stronger and will continue to strengthen while history is also turning a new page."

Ayatollah Khamenei spoke about protests in support of the Palestinian people in other countries, as well as the support and solidarity of university professors with their students and mentioned the police crackdown, saying, "I empathise with you, young people, and I respect your steadfastness."

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution concluded his letter by recommending that Muslims become familiar with the Quran, saying, "For us Muslims and for all people of the world, the lesson of the Quran is perseverance in the path of truth. Regarding human relations, the lesson of the Quran is that we should neither commit nor submit to oppression. By comprehensively adhering to and acting upon these commandments and hundreds of similar cases, the Resistance Front will advance and will achieve victory, God willing."

"Rawzat al-Nabi" is a pure or holy grave, the place between the pulpit and the shrine of the Prophet (PBUH) in Masjid al-Nabi, which is called heavenly and very holy in the prophetic hadith. There are three holy places within the boundaries of Roza Motahar: the Holy Shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the pulpit and the mihrab.

Pilgrimage to Rouza-ul-Nabi in this way started last year to control the crowd of pilgrims in this part of Masjid-ul-Nabi.

Of course, to enter Rouza al-Nabi in this way, pilgrims have to stand in long queues to get the chance to visit.

With the arrangements made by the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization of the countries, pilgrims are booked in the form of caravans and groups by these organizations.

The registration process is in such a way that this system offers a few free times. Pilgrims are registered in male and female groups and a separate permit is obtained for each group.

According to the hours recorded on the sheet, people who enter the Rizwan cemetery have the opportunity to benefit from this spiritual space and offer prayers and supplications near the sacred shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for about half an hour.

The Ibrahimi Hajj means the negation of the enemies of Islam and humanity - in this case Israel and the United States.

Ayatollah Khamenei called the Zionist regime a perfect example of enmity with Muslims and called America an accomplice of this regime and emphasized: Without the help of America, the Zionist regime had the strength and courage to treat Muslims, women and children so brutally? » 

The Grand Ayatollah added: Those who kill Muslims and displace them and their supporters are both oppressors, and according to the interpretation of the Qur'an, whoever befriends them is an oppressor and cursed by God. » 

Considering the current conditions of the Islamic world, he considered the Abrahamic approach to Hajj, that is, the explicit denial of enemies, to be more necessary than ever before and said: Accordingly, Iranian and non-Iranian pilgrims should be able to go to Hajj. The entire Islamic world supports this Quranic logic in support of the Palestinian nation. » 

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized: Of course, the Islamic Republic has not and will not wait for others, but if the powerful hands of Islamic nations and governments come to help and support, the plight of the Palestinian nation will not last. »

The media of the Zionist regime reported on Wednesday night that settlers attacked trucks carrying humanitarian aid near the occupied Jerusalem. 

Palestine's Sama news agency reported, the Hebrew-language newspaper Ha'aretz reported, quoting security sources, that settlers attacked 2 Palestinian trucks near Jerusalem. 

The settlers attacked it, suspecting that these trucks were carrying humanitarian aid from Jordan. 

The Zionists tore the food packages and grain bags of the aid convoys to the Gaza Strip and left them on the side of the road. The images of this attack on the international aid convoys to the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been widely distributed on social networks and have been met with many criticisms. 

The Zionist settlers had previously attacked the Jordanian aid convoy to Gaza at the Beit Hanoun crossing. 

In order to compensate for its defeat and stop the resistance operations, this regime has closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombing this area.

Every year, Shia Muslims from Iran and many other countries celebrate the birthday anniversary of their Eighth Imam, Ali bin Mousa al-Reza (PBUH), in his Holy Shrine in Mashhad and other parts of the world.

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (PBUH), the eighth Shi'ite Holy Imam was born on 11th Zee al-Qa'adah 148 A.H. in the holy city of Madinah. He was divinely entitled 'Al-Reza"(meaning that Allah Almighty and His Holy Messenger (PBUH) were deeply pleased with him). The Holy Imam (PBUH) is also considered as the Aalim (the Greatest Erudite) of the Holy Ahlul Bayt (PBUH).

On the 11th of Zil-Qa’dah in the year 148 AH, less than a month after the martyrdom of the Prophet’s 6th infallible successor, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (PBUH), when the bewildered assassin Mansour Dawaniqi was still trying to figure out who actually was the heir of his venerable victim, so as to do him harm as well, an enlightened heir was born to the still publicly unannounced heir of the deceased Imam. Little did the Abbasid usurper Mansour – one of the principal hijackers and deviators of the pro-Ahl al-Bayt uprising of the people of Khorasan – realize that the new addition to his victim’s family that year would soon transform not only Khorasan but the whole of Iran and the greater part of his own capital Baghdad in Iraq, into the realm of the devotees of the Prophet’s pure progeny, whom he thought had been totally deprived of their rights. Fifty-three years later in 201 AH, as the rotten bones of Mansour and his four tyrannical successors – Mahdi Abbasi, Hadi Abbasi, Haroun and Amin – rattled in their infernal graves, the son born in 148 AH to Imam Musa al-Kazem (PBUH) – the son and hitherto unannounced successor of Imam Sadeq (PBUH) – would step on the soil of Khorasan to establish a permanent foothold for the followers of the Prophet's Ahl al-Bayt.

According to US broadcaster CNN, which said it reviewed police records, court filings and news reports, at least 50 professors have been arrested at pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations across the US.

Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested on more than 50 campuses, the CNN said, according to Al Jazeera.

Some of the arrested professors, who said they wished to support students’ right to free speech, were detained violently, resulting in injuries.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has fired advanced cruise missiles at vital targets in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the massacres committed by the Zionist regime against civilians in Gaza. 

The resistance, which is an umbrella group of anti-US and anti-Israel factions, said in a statement it hit vital targets in the areas of Ariha Valley, also known Jericho, and the Nevatim Airbase using Arqab cruise missiles.

The statement vowed the resistance will continue its operations for as long as the genocide in Gaza continues.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been conducting many such attacks on Israeli targets since the occupying regime launched the genocidal campaign in Gaza in early October.

Hejr Ismail is a space between the Kaaba and a semi-circular wall about 10 meters wide, which includes from the Iraqi pillar to the Shami pillar. It is an arc-shaped wall with a height of 1.30 meters and is called Hajar Ismail. Hajr Ismail is a reminder of the time of Abraham and Ismail and the period after the building of the Kaaba. Therefore, its history and history reaches the time of the building of the Kaaba in the hand of Ibrahim.

Historical reports say that Ismail lived in this area and his tent was on this side. His mother Hajar also lived here with him and after she died, she was buried in Hajar. Jafar Sadiq (Sixth Imam of Shiites) has been quoted as saying: “الحِجرُ بَیتُ إِسمَاعِیلَ وَ فِیهِ قَبرُ هَاجَرَ وَ قَبرُ إِسمَاعِیلَ "; "Hajr is the house of Ismail and the burial place of Hajar and Ismail."

Some traditions say that many prophets are buried here. Actually, Hajr Ismail is considered a part of the Kaaba, therefore this area is not part of Mataf and those who perform Tawaf should go around it and not enter it.

All Muslims agree that the graves of Hazrat Ismail and Hajar are in this area. Pilgrims of God's house like to enter Hajar Ismail and worship. This area is one of the most important parts of Masjid al-Haram.

Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says some 1,500 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, which has compelled resistance groups in the region, including Hezbollah, to launch attacks on Israel to force it to end the war.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah revealed the death toll of the Israeli military during a Monday speech marking the martyrdom anniversary of Mustafa Badreddine, a senior Hezbollah commander killed in an attack by Israel in Syria’s Damascus in 2016.

Nasrallah did not reveal whether the Israeli death toll includes the fatalities suffered by the regime in recent months in its cross-border trading of fire with Hezbollah.

The Israeli regime has kept secret the number of soldiers killed or wounded in the war on Gaza as well as those killed in Hezbollah’s missile and drone attacks.

The Hezbollah leader said that Israel has failed to achieve its declared objectives in Gaza where it has killed over 35,000 

He said even people in the Israeli-occupied Palestine doubt claims of victory in Gaza by members of the Israeli regime led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“There is unanimity in Israel over Israel's failure... The Israelis are ridiculing Netanyahu when he speaks about victory,” he said.

Nasrallah said that Israel is seeking to invade the southern Gazan city of Rafah, where more than a million have sought refuge from the regime’s brutal attacks on other parts of the territory, in an attempt to cover up its defeat in Gaza.

On Hezbollah’s ongoing confrontation with Israel, Nasrallah said that the Lebanese group will continue its campaign to pressure Israel to halt the war in Gaza.

“The Lebanese front will continue to support Gaza, this is decisive and final, and the Americans and the French have acknowledged this fact,” he said.
