*Hajj, a potential for realizing monotheism and unity in the Islamic Ummah*


In this meeting, Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, while appreciating the efforts of Hajj service providers, expressed hope these services will be a source of worldly blessings and will bring satisfaction to the Most Holy Being of God.


Emphasizing the spiritual and social dimensions of Hajj, he considered this divine duty to have great potential for realizing Islamic monotheism and unity.


The pilgrims' relationship with God is a manifestation of monotheism, and their relationship with each other is a sign of unity; a unity that is rooted in monotheism, he said.


If the Islamic Ummah preserves these two fundamental pillars - monotheism and unity - the path to excellence and progress will be smoothed, Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli added.


In another part of his speech, he pointed out the importance of preserving the country's internal unity and authenticity, stating: “Iran is a large country that has both geography and history. Every part of it is a testament to civilization, science, and culture. If we preserve our authenticity, we will not be weak in negotiations and foreign issues, maintaining national unity is the foundation of our external dignity.”


Praising the personality of Jafar ibn Abi Talib, he stated: when Jafar Tayar entered Medina, had been coincided with the conquest of Khaybar, and the Prophet of Islam said, "I do not know whether to be happy with Jafar's return or with the conquest of Khaybar." This means that a religious scholar can perform such great services with his ethics, manners, understanding, management, and wisdom that it is as effective in Islam as a military victory, and thus make the honorable Prophet of Islam happy.


Referring to the importance of empathy in the Islamic community, Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli stated: "we must preserve our commonalities. In a world where enemies are trying to strike, unity and recognition of cultural capital, reason, understanding, and management are the way out of crises."
