Supreme Leader's Representative for Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs: At Beginning of Hajj Journey, Special Attention Should Be Paid to Oppressed People of Palestine
The quarterly meeting of managers and staff of the Supreme Leader's delegation and the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization was held with the presence and speeches of Ayatollah Mohsen Qomi, Deputy for International Relations of the Supreme Leader's Office, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab, Representative of the Supreme Leader for Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, and Dr. Alireza Bayat, Head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization.
According to the Hajj Information Base, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Abdolfattah Navvab, who delivered a speech on Sunday after Ayatollah Qomi's speech, referred to the appreciation of the Deputy for International Relations of the Supreme Leader's Office for the performance and activities of the Service Group for Pilgrims of Hajj, Shrines and Umrah at the behest of the Supreme Leader and the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization, and thanked them for their kind attention, saying that love for the work of a servant is one of the main factors in the success of the employees of these two service groups. "The employees of these two institutions have a view of this responsibility beyond a job, and that is why they always deal with problems and shortcomings, and even sometimes sour faces, and consider serving pilgrims and pilgrims a blessing."
In another part of his speech, he emphasized the importance of taking advantage of opportunities and said that success depends on taking advantage of opportunities and failures are the result of not taking advantage of opportunities.
The representative of the Supreme Leader for Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs asked all managers and employees of the Supreme Leader’s Mission and Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization to do their utmost for the guests of the House of God and the guests of the holy places, and to appreciate this opportunity of service and to seek divine satisfaction before it ends.
Hojjat al-Islam Navvab continued, “Our main honor in these two institutions is service, but if we look at it differently and reduce it to just a job or a place to provide material things, we will no longer have this honor.”
He asked the managers and employees of the Supreme Leader’s Hajj Mission and Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization to make serious efforts and take advantage of opportunities to enhance what has been left in the memory of our predecessors in these two institutions.
The head of the Iranian pilgrims also pointed out the slogan of Hajj 1404, "Hajj, Quranic conduct, Islamic convergence and support for oppressed Palestine," and also referred to the successful experience of the popular campaign "Iran Hamdel", which was formed months ago in the country to help the oppressed people of Palestine and some other Islamic countries in the resistance zone, and noted: "Our request is that the officials of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization take measures so that pilgrims can, like the campaign of Iran Hamdel, deliver their aid to the oppressed people of Palestine and, in gratitude for this great blessing that God has granted them by welcoming them to the Holy House of Allah, also remember the oppressed people of Palestine."
In another part of his speech, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab, emphasizing that God blesses perseverance, servitude, and adherence to principles, referred to the negotiations that began on Saturday in Muscat, the capital of Oman, and said that Iran has so far advanced its views on several issues, including determining the mediator for the negotiations, i.e. Oman, as well as determining the agenda for the negotiations, i.e. limiting it to the nuclear issue, and also determining the type of negotiations, i.e. emphasizing its indirect nature.
He concluded by emphasizing that everyone acknowledges that, thank God, Iran has continued to work in the negotiations so far with God's grace, and we pray that, God willing, with God's help and the wise guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, this period will also be spent well for the country and will be beneficial for the nation and the country.
