Speaking to IQNA, Sayyed Hussein Sharafeddin added that the Supreme Leader on every occasion underlines the importance of fighting the hegemonic powers.
“Today, Muslims must answer his call and adopt a serious stance against the hegemonic powers.”
Sharafeddin pointed to the characteristics of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the role of its leadership, saying that the revolution of Iran was Islamic, inspired by the Holy Quran, and took lessons from the uprising of Imam Hussein (AS).
He referred to being popular, having a popular leader, and fighting oppression and arrogance as other characteristics of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
The Lebanese researcher highlighted the important role of Imam Khamenei’s leadership in keeping the revolution strong and said Imam Khamenei was trained in the school of Imam Khomeini and stood up for Islamic values since his youth days.
“When Imam Khomeini (RA) passed away, a famous journalist of the time asked me about the Imam’s successor. I said the Ulama that are in Iran now are all Mujahids (those who struggle on the path of God) and have the qualifications to become the leader, but I believe Ayatollah Khamenei is the one that everyone approves of as Iran’s leader.”
Asked about Imam Khamenei’s endeavors for Islamic unity, Sharafeddin said the basis of Iran’s revolution is Islam and naturally Iran’s leader and officials emphasize Islamic values such as proximity among Islamic schools of thought.
He said as long as attempts by the enemy for fomenting discord among Muslims continue, the Islamic Revolution of Iran and its leader in particular will take steps to foil these attempts and put an end to the slogan of ‘divide and rule’.
The Lebanese scholar said confronting the arrogant powers is clear in Imam Khamenei’s stances and viewpoints. “On every occasion, His Eminence underscores the need for confronting the world arrogance and has stood up firmly against hegemonic powers.”
Sharafeddin stressed that Muslims must put Imam Khamenei’s statements on top of their agenda and follow the path of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in fighting global arrogance.
He further pointed to Imam Khamenei’s attention to the issue of Palestine and referring to verse 1 of Surah Al-Isra, underlined the need for all Muslims not to neglect their duty to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy city of Quds.
He said when Imam Khamenei calls for defending Palestine, every Muslim should act accordingly and support Palestine, because it is against Islamic teachings to remain indifferent toward desecration of this land.
Sharafeddin noted that the issue of Palestine was emphasized by the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran since early days after the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
He further highlighted the Islamic Republic of Iran’s assistance to the resistance movement and said Iran’s support for resistance has been one of the accomplishments of the Islamic Revolution.
