The largest congregation of Jumat-ul-Vida was held at the Markazi Imambara Budgam, where thousands of believers offered Friday prayers under the leadership of Hujjat-ul-Islam wal Muslimeen Aga Syed Hassan Al-Mousavi Al-Safavi, President of Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian. After the prayers, a massive Quds procession was taken out under his leadership, which proceeded towards the Old Bus Stand Budgam.
Addressing the gathering there, Aga Syed Hassan Al-Mousavi Al-Safavi said that Jumat-ul-Vida is not merely a religious occasion but a day that symbolizes the unity of the Muslim Ummah, collective awakening, and the renewal of commitment to support the oppressed. He stated that the founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Imam Khomeini (RA), by declaring International Youm-e-Quds, conveyed a clear message to the Muslim world that the liberation of Palestine and the restoration of Al-Quds is a shared responsibility of the entire Muslim Ummah.
Referring to the current global situation, he said that the Islamic Republic of Iran today stands with remarkable courage, resilience, and unwavering determination against the joint aggression of the United States and Israel, which, he said, is a matter of pride for the entire Muslim world. He emphasized that the greatest strength of Iran lies in its people, whose steadfast support has made the present Islamic system an unassailable force.
Aga Hassan stated that the unwavering backing and revolutionary consciousness of the Iranian nation have foiled all conspiracies and malicious designs of the United States and Israel. He added that this popular support remains the primary source of stability and strength for the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to him, Iran’s strategy of resistance and the determination of its people have shattered the plans of global arrogance.
He further said that the selection of Ayatollah Syed Mojtaba Khamenei as the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran reflects the continuity of the Islamic Revolution, the strength of the system of Wilayat, and the political awareness of the Muslim Ummah. On the occasion, he expressed complete confidence in the leadership of Ayatollah Syed Mojtaba Khamenei and reiterated his pledge of allegiance and loyalty to him, stating that the Shia community of Kashmir has always considered its association with the system of Wilayat a matter of pride. He expressed hope that, God willing, Iran will emerge victorious in the struggle between truth and falsehood and that the malicious designs of arrogant powers will ultimately fail.
Meanwhile, thousands of people also offered Friday prayers at the Qadeemi Imambara Hassanabad Srinagar, led by Hujjat-ul-Islam Aga Syed Mojtaba Abbas Al-Mousavi Al-Safavi. Following the prayers, a large Youm-e-Quds rally was taken out.
Addressing the rally, Aga Syed Mojtaba Abbas Al-Mousavi Al-Safavi stated that Youm-e-Quds symbolizes the determination of oppressed nations, the spirit of resistance, and the global awakening against arrogant powers. He said that the United States and Israel have historically fueled conflicts, conspiracies, and instability in the Muslim world and remain the primary source of unrest and disputes in the region.
He further remarked that as long as the illegitimate occupation of Israel continues, many of the crises and conflicts faced by the Muslim world will persist. He added that the United States and Israel had assumed that Iran would weaken and the resistance front would collapse; however, the extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination demonstrated by Iran’s leadership and its people have completely frustrated the enemies’ plans.
He emphasized that the strong support of the Iranian people has endowed the Islamic Republic of Iran with a strength before which the conspiracies of the United States and Israel continue to fail.
Concluding his address, Aga Syed Mojtaba Abbas Al-Mousavi Al-Safavi announced that the Shia community of Kashmir renews its pledge of allegiance and loyalty to the Wali-e-Faqih, Ayatollah Syed Mojtaba Khamenei. He affirmed that they remain committed to strengthening their bond with the system of Wilayat and Marjaiyat and will continue to raise their voice for the freedom of oppressed nations, particularly the people of Palestine, and against the forces of global arrogance.
