The head of Iranian pilgrims in a prayer ceremony in Mecca that was held concurrent with a commemoration ceremony held for martyred President Ebrahim Raisi and his companions said that God accepted these martyrs after their efforts and services and they became heavenly and noble forever.
According to Hajj Information Base, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab, the Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, during the prayer ceremony of Komeil in the gathering of Iranian pilgrims and officials of the Hajj and Pilgrimage area in Mecca mentioned to verse 105 of Surah Toba to some recommendations of Imam Kazem (AS) referred to Hisham bin Hakem in relation to action.
In the soul-giving ceremony of the perfect prayer, which was held at the same time as the birth anniversary of Imam Musa bin Jafar (AS), the head of Iranian pilgrims added, "This verse is a good example of the services and efforts of the heavenly martyrs and service martyrs whose actions were for God."
He stated that the President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Friday prayers leader and Governor-General of Tabriz and other companions were among the good ones who were martyred. He accepted their services and became heavenly forever.
The head of the Iranian pilgrims went on to explain some parts of the long narration of his Holiness addressed to Hisham bin Hakem, including in relation to action, and said: "The loved ones who were martyred were all people of action and activity, and the Supreme Leader also said that in relation to martyr Raisi. He used tireless. A man who had many unforgettable services during three years that will not be forgotten in the presence of God."
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab pointed out that Imam Kazem (AS) told Hisham to do the work in such a way that the air does not overcome the intellect, and clarified: Work and action must be expert and accompanied by thinking
Emphasizing that one should pay attention to quality in relation to action, he stated: the God looks at pure action and accepts the best action and not the quantity of action. If someone prays two rakats with sincerity, it is better than if he prays without attention from morning till night.
Stating that action is related to the ethics, he addressed the audience and said, "The hardships of this trip should not make us forget the principle of Hajj in such a way that we lose its achievements."
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab emphasized that a person should be self-accountable, and said that if there is no accountability, a person will suddenly realize that he has lost everything.
"If a person does a good deed, he should ask God to increase it, and if he commits a bad deed, he should ask for forgiveness," he added.
Pointing out that a believer speaks little and acts a lot, he said, "A person who talks a lot also makes a lot of mistakes."
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab called wishes a burning act, and said, "When a person has a wish, he destroys his action."
Pointing out that the host country has said that residents and not travelers can vote, the head of Iranian pilgrims clarified that pilgrims are not travelers and tourists, they are guests, but "we must obey the rules of the host country and respect the rules".
"We respect the law, but we expected the host country to cooperate and the pilgrims could vote," he added.
At the end of his speech, he prayed for the success and pride of the Iranian people in the election test and the victory of the people of Gaza and Palestine over the oppressive Zionist enemy.
In the continuation of this ceremony, Iranian pilgrims, in a spiritual atmosphere, chanted the verses of the Komeil prayer with the voice of Haj Hamid Ramazanpour, the eulogist, and addressed the prayers and secrets and the need for prayer to God.
It should be mentioned that nearly 50,000 Iranian pilgrims are staying near Baitullah Al-Haram and the group gathered in the prayer room of their hotel in Mecca and whispered the lines of the perfect prayer in a mystical atmosphere.
In the rituals that were held on Thursday night by the delegation of the Supreme Leader in large hotels where Iranian pilgrims stay in Mecca, in addition to reciting the complete prayer by the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), speeches and recitation of the Quran were also performed and the pilgrims of Baitullah Al-Haram in the city where the Qur'an was revealed asked for forgiveness from the merciful Lord.
