In an interview with the ABNA news agency, Hujjat ul-Islam Syed Ahmed Iqbal Rizvi stated that the principles championed by the late Leader serve as a safeguard, ensuring that temporary political fluctuations do not undermine the strategic ties between the two nations, reported the Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
Condemning the US-Israeli attack on Iran that led to the martyrdom of the Leader of Islamic Republic, the senior Pakistani cleric described late Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as the beating heart of Muslim world whose martyrdom inflicted a heavy blow to the world of Islam.
“From the perspective of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Pakistan is not merely a neighboring country; it is an influential state with immense religious, cultural, and popular potential,” Rizvi noted.
The senior Pakistani cleric highlighted that the Leader regarded the people of Pakistan—both Shia and Sunni—as devout followers of Ahl al-Bayt, noting that their strict adherence to Islamic teachings remains the country’s greatest asset and primary source of stability. Furthermore, he emphasized the Leader’s belief that the success of Pakistani officials is directly linked to their commitment to these religious values.
“In the view of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, relations between Iran and Pakistan transcend mere political interaction,” Hujjat al-Islam Rizvi said. “They are defined by Islam and the profound bond between the two nations. This approach is rooted in a shared destiny and a common mission regarding major issues, such as Palestine, Kashmir, and Islamic unity.”
He added that within this framework, the public serves as the central pillar of bilateral relations. Referring to the late Leader’s philosophy, he stated, “Even in the event of political tensions or temporary difficulties, the deep-rooted religious and popular ties between Iran and Pakistan prevent the relationship from being fundamentally harmed.”
The MWM official also echoed the late Leader’s warnings against external interference: “The Leader of the Islamic Revolution consistently cautioned against attempts by extremist currents and foreign actors to sow discord between the two nations, stressing that such plots are designed to weaken the strategic and civilizational bond between the two countries.”
Reflecting on the recent widespread public reactions in Pakistan, Hujjat al-Islam Rizvi pointed to the large-scale gatherings held in cities such as Karachi, Islamabad, and Gilgit-Baltistan. He stated that these ceremonies reflect the deep intellectual and emotional attachment of the Pakistani people to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
“Beyond paying tribute to the leadership, these gatherings symbolized a public condemnation of arrogant powers, specifically the United States and the Zionist regime,” he asserted.
Reiterating Ayatollah Khamenei’s perspective, the cleric concluded: “What draws the peoples of Iran and Pakistan closer is not diplomatic relations alone, but rather a shared ‘spiritual capital’—encompassing faith, devotion to Ahl al-Bayt, a spirit of resistance against oppression, and a collective concern for the fate of the Muslim Ummah.”
The senior scholar emphasized that this profound religious and cultural synergy provides the foundation for broader cooperation and acts as a shield against enemy plots aimed at creating division.
