“Jihad means striving to target the enemy, and the field of jihad must be correctly identified at all times,” he told a group of eulogists on the birth anniversary of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA), the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon Him), in Tehran Sunday.

Ayatollah Khamenei touched on various fields of jihad in different periods such as military jihad, scientific jihad and jihad of social service.

“For instance, social service to the people in a situation where the enemy is trying to put them against the Islamic system by creating economic pressure is valuable jihad.”

The Leader touched on the vast campaign of the enemies to upend the thoughts of the Iranian people and destroy their faith and beliefs through the mass media and using thousands of art and media experts and huge financial and security support, against which “the most important area of jihad is the field of explanation and enlightenment”.

“In the face of this evil move, hay’ats must ask themselves where they stand on the front of truth and falsehood, and the confrontation between the narrative of falsehood and truth, and how they expand the main ideals and foundations of the revolution,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Hay’ats are religious foundations which hold mourning or eulogy ceremonies for Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon Him) and his infallible Household known as Ahl al-Bayt.

Ayatollah Khamenei described hay’ats as “the center of the great jihad of enlightenment”, saying they should be a place for providing convincing and correct answers to the current questions of the society, especially the young generation.

“The axis of the formation of hay’ats as a social unit has been the friendship of the Ahl al-Bayt and keeping alive the way and school of the Imams, which has been formed since the time of those nobles.”

The Leader also touched on patterns inspired by the life and thoughts of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA) in the Iranian society, citing sincere services meted out to the needy and those hit by floods and other natural disasters as well as scientific services of Iran’s nuclear experts assassinated in recent years as examples.

Ayatollah Khamenei also cited services provided to the public without pay during the COVID-19 pandemic as another example.

“Hazrat Fatima Zahra must be a role model in all aspects, especially social and revolutionary movements,” he said.

Lebanon is enjoying peace and dignity today and faces no aggression thanks to the Resistance forces, Nasrallah said.

Hezbollah leader thanked Iran’s help in establishing Jihad Al-Bina Association in Lebanon, which has been a great help to Lebanon in terms of providing public services to the Lebanese for many areas.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah said the issue of Palestinian workers has been politicized, criticizing the calls for returning the Palestinians to Palestine.

The Hezbollah leader said that the Palestinian workers have no country to return to as their lands are under occupation. He called on the Lebanese factions to look at the Palestinians from a humanitarian perspective.

Hezbollah chief also slammed the Lebanese figures who accuse Hezbollah of ruling Lebanon.

He said that those who say that Hezbollah is ruling Lebanon are inciting Saudis, Israelis against Beirut. He pointed out that Hezbollah never sought to obstruct the Parliament, slamming the obstructionists as big liars.

“We do not incite anyone against anyone else, not at all,” Nasrallah further added.

“We want government sessions as soon as possible,” he also said.

He rejected as lies that Hezbollah incited the government of Lebanon against Talal Arsalan. The Hezbollah secretary-general added that it is the Judiciary that decides on his case.

He strongly condemned the demolition of the Palestinian homes by Israeli troops over the past few days.

Nasrallah further welcomed the Palestinian authorities’ decision to end “all agreements, including security coordination” with Tel Aviv amid Israeli violations against the Palestinians.
