Intimate Meeting of Head of Iranian Pilgrims and Young Pilgrims
The head of the Iranian Hajj addressed to the youth and teenagers of the Hajj pilgrims and stated: "Your parents raised you with all their heart and sacrificed themselves for you or in other words, your mother and father became small with old age so that you can grow up. When a son is sympathetic to his parents, their parents' prayers are enough to build the future, and children's prayers and worship bring happiness to their parents."
According to Hajj Information Base, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab, the Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, in an intimate meeting with teenagers and young Hajj pilgrims in Mecca, in a speech while pointing out that parents who send their children to Hajj are in fact making an investment, said before sending the agents to Hajj, the Supreme Leader guided everyone to the lessons of the life of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), which is very valuable. "Hazrat Ibrahim (pbuh) is the spiritual father of all divine prophets, and one of the characteristics of Hazrat Ibrahim is that he was grateful for God's blessings.
"We should appreciate the blessings we have, and health is one of them, a blessing that no human being is willing to exchange for something else," he added.
He addressed the audience and said: "You young people should be thankful to God that you have such parents. Imam Sajjad (AS) gives us lessons in the 24th supplication of the Sahifa of Sajjadiyah, which is the book of life and living well, that we should take with us in the land of revelation."
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab explained the prayer of the 24th Sahifah of the Sajjadiyah, which is a prayer for the rights of parents, and clarified: Imam Sajjad (AS) said: "Grant me such success that I consider the satisfaction of my parents before my own and Whatever they did for me should be seen as big even if it is small. Every great service I did for my parents, make it look small, and God, lower my voice in front of them, and make my words beautiful, and put gentleness in front of me, and turn my heart towards my parents."
The head of the Iranian pilgrims addressed the youth and teenagers and reminded them that their parents raised you with all their life and sacrificed themselves for you. "In other words, your mother and father became small with old age so that you could grow up. When a son is sympathetic to his parents, their parents' prayers are enough to build the future, and children's prayers and worship bring happiness to their parents."
He pointed out that try to make the Hajj journey a cornerstone for your bright future and happy ending and have a Fatimid way of life. "We send our greetings to the parents who sent their children to the front to defend Islam and the motherland and still have no news of their children and are waiting for a plaque or a bone of their loved ones to return."
Therefore, at the beginning of this meeting, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Hussain Roknuddini, the cultural deputy of the delegation of the Supreme Leader, mentioned the appreciation of 40 girls and 35 boys who came to Hajj between the ages of 8 and 23.
