Head of the Iranian pilgrims:
Providing services to pilgrims with utmost care and safety is our duty
We must all cooperate and resist, and all officials must perform their services, because our duty is to provide services to pilgrims with utmost safety so that they can return to their homeland, head of the Hajj pilgrims emphasized.
According to the Hajj Information base, Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs and head of the Iranian pilgrims Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab arrived at Supreme Leader representative office at Balad al-Tayeb Hotel, on Wednesday evening (Dey 19, 1403) in Mecca. After arriving the hotel, he said to the pilgrims of the Land of Revelation: The martyred President, Mr. Dr. Raisi, made great efforts to re-establish the Umrah pilgrimage and end the 10-year wait of our dear people.
During the Hajj, we mourned our dear martyr, Mr. Raisi, and thanks God, the Umrah issue was resolved, and a lot of efforts were made in this regard, and everyone tried to pave the way, head of the Iranian pilgrims added.
Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs said: everyone is aware that we are in difficult circumstances and that the enemy has imposed cruel sanctions against Islamic Iran and wants to push Islamic Iran back from its powerful slogans and not let Islamic Iran stand on its own feet.
We must all cooperate and resist, and all officials must perform their services, because our duty is to provide services to pilgrims safely so that they can return to their homeland, head of the Iranian pilgrims emphasized.
Stating that returning to their homeland on time is part of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization's programs and flights, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab clarified: sometimes, due to the necessity of pilgrims' health, changes are made in the programs, and in this regard, it is necessary for all servants to apologize to the pilgrims.
Addressing the pilgrims of the Land of Revelation, Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs added: everyone tries to provide the best services to the best, because a pilgrim is someone whom God has commissioned two prophets, namely, Prophet Abraham (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS), to prepare God House to host his guests.
Addressing the pilgrims, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab while noting that tens of thousands of those who registered for Umrah had passed away over the past 10 years and were unable to perform pilgrimage, stated: 5.850 million people has registered for Umrah, and God has chosen you pilgrims to visit Mecca in the month of Rajab.
