Certainly, this tragedy was such a disgrace and shame for the Saudis, who are responsible for protecting the lives of the Hajj pilgrims, that they can never get rid of it.

According to the directions we find in the Quran, all Muslims must have a role in the management of the Hajj, whether those who inhabit the two holy cities or those who arrive there for the Hajj pilgrimage from other countries.

The office of  Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi hereby announces that his eminence has sent no one to establish his Bithah for this years Hajj pilgrimage from Iraq and any such news is completely false.  Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi will have not have any representatives, whether from Iraq or Iran, to establish his Bi‘thah during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage.

I am really delighted to have heard your comments during your last trip to Poland in which you stated Islam is not equal to terrorism

Speaking in the twenty eighth martyrdom anniversary of Sayyid Āref Hussein al-Husseini, Hujjatoleslam Allameh Rājih Nāser Abbas Jafari stated: Despite our deteriorating physical conditions, we had decided in a meeting of the Central Council of the Assembly of Muslim Unity to continue our hunger strike. However, due to the orders we received from our religious authorities and in order to respect the orders of great Shia scholars, we now announce the end of our hunger strike.

I ask you and your friends to end your hunger strike as we are worried for your health/we also ask the Pakistani government to properly respond to your demands and to those of the other Pakistani Muslims, as they are legitimate and reasonable demands.

We do commend and admire the deep understanding of the realities of the Muslim world and the astuteness of the Shaykh of al-Azhar. We also stress the fact that not only does this fatwa prevent the massacre of the innocent Muslims, but it will also be a hindrance to the Islamophobia which is being promoted by the westerners, who are either unaware of the reality of Islam or are enemies of Islam. 

Unfortunately, today money rules the world; it is a world where a wealthy country like Saudi Arabia can intimidate and bribe even the UN Secretary General with its petro-dollars.

 Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has issued a ruling regarding the amount of Zakāt al-fitrah and the prescribed amount for compensation of the missed fasts in the month of Ramadan.

One of the Arabic TV channels based in England has been fundraising, for a few months now, for the production of a feature film called ''Yawm al-Adhāb'' [i.e. The Day of Torment] and it has received millions of pounds from the Shias all over the world.

Expressing his gratitude to all the people due to their vast participation in the Quds Day rallies,  Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi stated: “Our people proved today as they always do that they are loyal to the values of Islam and those of the Islamic revolution”.

The Bahraini authorities, who lack proper wisdom and understanding, have now thrown themselves in to a dangerous situation whereby they will have more afflictions coming to their way every day 

This kind of impolite and arrogant way of invitation shows that they are still not ready to engage in a rational and fair debate

They put Saudi Arabia on the blacklist of children’s rights violators for a few days, but all of a sudden they removed it from the list a short while later.

The office of  Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi hereby announces the official opening of the Spanish section of the website of the office of Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi.

We hope that the Pakistani authorities quickly intervene and take the necessary measures in order to prevent such irrational things from taking place, since such things can endanger the unity of the Muslims

The issues pertaining to the two Holy Shrines in Mecca and Medina need to be resolved one day; this can be accomplished only when a committee of experienced and skilled individuals regarding the issue of the Hajj pilgrimage is s e l e c ted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to superintend the affairs of the two Holy Shrines in Mecca and Medina. In such a case, Saudi Arabia can also have a member in that committee.  

The Iraqi people must settle their disputes with each other and become united to drive their enemy out of their country; the religious authorities have no border and they belong to all Muslims in the world. We intend but what is good for all Muslims and the entire Muslim world.

We are at the frontline of the fight against terrorism and extremism in Iraq and Syria; no country cares about fighting terrorism and violent extremism as we do, yet some are blatantly accusing us of supporting terrorism!

The way that Iran and the Revolution of the Iranian people are being depicted in the Western media is very different from the reality that you have witnessed with your own eyes. It is a mistake to base your judgments about Iran on the propaganda of the Media whose sole occupation is the spread of Islamophobia and Iraniphobia.

This great scholar worked closely with other prominent Bahraini scholars to restore the inalienable rights of the Bahraini people and his efforts in this regard can never be forgotten

The duty of all religious scholars and Islamic seminaries is to engage in intellectual and scientific confrontation with the Wahhabis; we need to prove to everyone that the Wahhabis are the agents of the enemies of Islam and that their ideas are anti-Islamic in nature.

One of the strangest things of our time is the recent action of a number of Arab leaders who, in a meeting of theirs, have announced the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement as a terrorist group; it is rather shocking that a resistance group which has given back the Arabs their pride and honor, has been labeled by the same Arabs as a terrorist group.

A series of mourning ceremonies will be held on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Fatimah  al-Zahra (a) from Thursday to Sunday (Esfand 20th to 23rd) in the Amir-al-Mu’menin Seminary School in Qom.

I ask Allah to bless the authorities with the opportunity to take more effective actions, compared to past, to solve the problems which the people face

As it is evident in its title, this book is a scholarly and carefully-made excerpt of the invaluable book “Bihār Al Anwār” by the late Allāmeh Majlesī. It is, in fact, a different edition of this book.

The Authorities must show gratitude for the sincere support that they receive from the people and must work hard to solve the problems which the people face in return. These rallies are a thorn in the side of the enemies of Islam and those of our Islamic Revolution, and they give hope to the friends of the Islamic Revolution.

I hope that with your trip to Iran our two religious centers will have better connections. We are glad to see that you place such an importance on peace and justice and that you have a department for the promotion of justice and peace.
