Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – The text of Grand ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi's message on Ghadir Ten Days is as follows:

In a world dominated by oppression, injustice, discrimination and different forms of moral corruptions, Ten Days of Ghadir provides a great opportunity for all Muslims, not only Shias, to become familiar with the enlightening life of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (as) and his teachings and to learn a better way to live.

Imam Ali (as) is the man, who never stopped obeying divine rules, even when asked by his own brother Aqeel ibn Abi Talib.

How good it would be that all Muslims gather around the light of Ghadir and unite in their resolve in order to fight the oppressors and dictators who sow discord among them. To combat those who are conspiring against Islam and are imposing their corrupt doctrine on Muslims.

I hope the adherents of Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (as) avoid sectarianism and abide by moral virtues while perfuming Ghadir celebrations.

 Peace be upon the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (as)
