Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei dedicated his life to Islam, resistance, and supporting the oppressed

Sheikh Yousef Mashlawi Abu Bakr, the General Coordinator of the Islamic Resistance Movement and one of the leaders of the Islamic Action Front in Lebanon, in an interview with the Taghrib News Agency (TNA), elaborated on the dimensions of the personality and the struggle status of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, describing him as a figure who spent his life in the service of Islam and Muslims, supporting the oppressed, and backing Palestine and its sanctities.

He added: "Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of the revolution, dedicated his life to serving Islam and Muslims, supporting the oppressed, especially Palestine, its people, and its sanctities. He carried the banner of the prophets and messengers in confronting the oppressors and tyrants, and never surrendered nor bowed his head. The martyred leader was a revolutionary figure who followed in the footsteps of his righteous predecessors, and was among the rarest of his time – as if the echo of the words of Almighty God was manifested in him: Say, O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship."

He continued: "The martyred leader's life was blessed and his deeds were righteous, and he was martyred in the great month of God, the month of the Holy Quran, at the hands of the worst enemies of the believers – the killers of prophets and messengers – just like their forefather, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS)."

He stated: "May this dignity, resolve, and honor be a source of joy for him. As the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: The best people are those whose lives are long and whose deeds are righteous."

Sheikh Yousef Mashlawi Abu Bakr continued: "He ascended to his Lord, and his message in confronting the Zionist-American tyranny of our time is: 'No, by God, I will not give them my hand in submission like the humiliated, nor will I acquiesce like the slaves.' Thus, he embodied martyrdom in the path of Islam with his blood, flesh, and soul."

Referring to the coincidence of the funeral ceremony of the martyred leader with the Arbaeen of Imam Hussein (AS), he stated: "The convergence of the funeral of the martyred leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei (may his soul be sanctified), with the Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (AS), is a continuation of the revolution of Imam Hussein, which is the embodiment of sacrifice and selflessness in the path of religious and human values and principles."

He also emphasized: "Furthermore, the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei (may his soul be sanctified), within the framework of confronting the Zionist-American tyranny of our time, is an inseparable part of the struggle that extends from the Karbala of Imam Hussein (AS) to the Karbala of our time. Yes, every day is Ashura and every land is Karbala."

This Lebanese figure, referring to the popular dimensions of the funeral ceremony of the Leader of the Revolution, added: "The million-strong population that participated in the funeral of the martyred leader, which the world witnessed in Iran and Iraq, emphasizes the unity of cause and position, and breaks down the artificial borders created by global disbelief to divide and weaken the Muslim nation."

"The unity of these masses in their field presence confirmed their resilience and strength despite the threats, and thwarted the enemy's assassination objectives, because the tens of millions who took to the streets to mourn their Imam and leader, alongside the Arbaeen mobilization, sent a decisive and powerful message to the enemies, foremost among them America and Israel, that the loss of leaders does not lower the flag and does not weaken the will of free and brave nations."

In conclusion, he noted: "This massive popular presence gives considerable weight and momentum to the upcoming stage, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei."
