Martyred Leader inspired Muslim communities to confront falsehood and challenges

Sheikh Hassan Abdullah, the Mufti of Tyre and Jabal Amel in Lebanon said, in an interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) that the martyred Leader’s positions and perspectives regarding key issues facing the Muslim Ummah, particularly Islamic unity and Palestine, the role of resistance in safeguarding Islamic sovereignty, and the importance of confronting regional and international challenges.
He initially expressed his pleasure at attending the International Islamic Unity Conference alongside scholars and intellectuals from across the Muslim world, describing the event as an opportunity to renew commitment to the unity of the Muslim Ummah.
Addressing the intellectual legacy of the martyred Leader, Sheikh Abdullah said the prominent figure had presented a model of religious-political discourse in the face of contemporary challenges, reflecting an authentic understanding of Islam.
He noted that the martyred Imam, drawing inspiration from the Prophet Muhammad and Imam Ali (peace be upon them), placed Islamic unity at the heart of his vision and regarded any departure from it as contrary to sound Islamic principles.
The Lebanese mufti further said that the courageous positions adopted by the martyred Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, during times of crisis enriched Islamic political thought and strengthened Islamic unity and Muslims’ ability to maintain solidarity with one another despite being subjected to the oppression of global hegemony and colonialism.
According to Sheikh Abdullah, this approach sought to empower the Muslim Ummah and human society to confront challenges and forms of falsehood that do not serve the interests of Islam and Muslims.
He also referred to the martyred Leader’s positions in confronting global hegemony and Zionism, stressing that the conflict between hegemonic powers and Islam is not merely a religious issue. Rather, he said, hegemonic powers seek to alter societies’ values and impose their own models and policies.
He continued that what the martyred Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, consistently emphasized was peoples’ right to freely determine and manage their political affairs. This, he said, had been a constant source of concern for hegemonic powers, which viewed the martyred Leader as a fundamental adversary.
On the issue of Palestine and Gaza, the Mufti of Tyre and Jabal Amel stressed that the issue is not merely an Islamic one but a fundamentally humanitarian cause.
He pointed out that even the Vatican has voiced opposition to the Israeli regime’s attacks, while some Jews around the world have also condemned the regime’s actions. These developments, he said, reinforce the fact that Israel does not represent Jews, while the United States stands alongside Zionism rather than the Jewish people.
