The Second Conference on Ghadir and Resistance
Eid al-Ghadir: The Compass of Guidance
Esteemed scholars, professors, and honored attendees of the Ghadir and Resistance Conference,
May God grant you honor,
Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings.
God Almighty has bestowed upon us the favor of granting us Islam and sending His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a guide, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. He charted the path of the Ummah's guidance and its continuity through the guardianship of the Master of Successors, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), so that a chain of faith might take shape on the earth — a chain linked to God Almighty, extending from the Prophet to the Imam and the line of Imams (peace be upon them), and then onward in a lofty collective at the level of humanity in this world. That collective is called Hezbollah.
God Almighty says:
"Your guardian is none but God, and His Messenger, and those who have believed — those who establish prayer and give zakat while bowing in worship."
"And whoever takes God, His Messenger, and those who have believed as his guardian — then surely the Party of God: they are the victorious." (Surah Al-Ma'idah, Verses 55-56)
And the Prophet of God (peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever wishes to live my life, die my death, and dwell in the Garden of Eden which my Lord has planted, let him take Ali as his guardian after me, let him befriend his friends, and let him follow my household after me. For they are my progeny; they were created from my clay and endowed with my understanding and knowledge. Woe to those from my Ummah who deny their virtues and sever my connection with them — God shall not grant them my intercession."
Ghadir: The Compass of Guidance
Eid al-Ghadir is the completion of the divine proof, the fortification of the path of righteousness, the consolidation of hope, the designation of the compass of guidance, and the wellspring of all goodness and blessings.
Blessed be this Eid upon you — may every year find you in goodness.
The Birth of Hezbollah: A Pledge to Wilayah
Hezbollah of Lebanon was founded following the Israeli invasion that reached the capital Beirut in 1982, through the pledge of allegiance of a group of believers to the Leader of the Revolution and the Ummah, the Leader of the Muslims, Imam Khomeini (RA). He accepted the pledge and guided us toward the priority of supporting Palestine and confronting the Israeli enemy, grounded in faith and action within the framework of Islamic unity and jihad in the path of God Almighty.
It was among the divine blessings bestowed upon us that Imam Khamenei, during his time as President, assumed responsibility for following up Hezbollah's affairs. Upon assuming the Leadership, he continued to attend to our needs with exceptional care, answered our religious inquiries, and supported our jihad.
Learning from the Master of Martyrs
We learned from the Master of Martyrs, Imam Hussein (PBUH), how to champion the front of truth, liberate the land, live with dignity and honor, and carry the banner of Islam — however heavy the sacrifices may be.
Today, we are engaged in the fiercest confrontation with the aggressive Israeli monster since the founding of the Islamic Resistance. It is a monster backed by the American tyrant, which kills children, women, and men, destroys homes and farmlands, and displaces people from their lands.
It did this in Gaza, where over eighty thousand were martyred. It did this in Lebanon, where from October 7, 2023, until now, over ten thousand have been martyred. Our noble master, the leader of the path of resistance in Lebanon, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Sayyed Hashem, and our commanders and martyrs — they all attained martyrdom. Yet we, drawing strength from the prophethood of Muhammad, the guardianship of Imam Ali, the love of the Imams, and the anticipation of the Imam of the Age (may God hasten his advent), have remained on the battlefield and persevered.
The youth of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon faced over 90,000 soldiers and officers of the Israeli army, armed with advanced land, sea, and air weaponry — weapons replenished daily by American aircraft delivering munitions and arms.
