The Official Website of Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi

All the believers are authorized to use all of the Sahm al-Imam ('a) (Imam’s Share of the Khums) which is equal to half of their Khums dues, to aid the innocent people of Lebanon who have been injured in or otherwise affected by the war.

During his years of leading the resistance movement in Lebanon, the people of Lebanon and Palestine and the rest of the Muslim Ummah were indebted to him for his wise leadership in the fight against the atrocious Zionist enemy and they will never forget his sincerity and bravery

The support that you give Islam and Muslims and your heroic resistance against the disbelievers and hypocrites is rather admirable and Allah’s promise “وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ” shall indeed come true about you, fighters in the way of Allah and the innocent and wronged people of Lebanon. Indeed, ultimate victory will be yours, God-willing, and this is something that the whole world shall see.

The resistance of the Muslim people of the region and their resistance campaign against the aggressors and occupiers has made the Zionist regime so desperate that it eliminated, with its own hands, its fake façade.

He was a great example of a committed and responsible official and a devoted supporter of the Islamic revolution. His wise stances, taken based his inherent free-spirited attitude, were a source of pride and honor for the Muslim Ummah, and the respectable people of Iran and a large number of the oppressed people all around the world will never forget him or his services

The victorious operation of the soldiers of Islam in defense of the oppressed people of Gaza and in response to the Zionist regime’s attack on the consulate of the Islamic Republic of Iran has become a source of pride, honor and satisfaction for the Muslims all around the world

I believe that it is incumbent upon all Muslim scholars, from all Muslim schools of thought, to act in defense of the innocent people of Gaza and to force Muslim heads of state as well as other countries of the world, through their unity and with the support of the Muslim Ummah, to exert all-out pressure on the Zionist regime to end its barbaric invasion and siege of Gaza.

The third Infallible Imam (‘a) was born on the 3rd of the month of Sha’ban, in the 4th year of Hijrī, in the holy city of Medina.

That late virtuous scholar services to people in Pakistan were the source of numerous blessings for many years.

The perpetrators of this heinous act of terrorism, who have the blood of innocent men, women, and children on their hands seek to sow insecurity in our country in order to compensate for the defeats that they have sustained.

One of the purposes behind sending divine Messengers has been the teaching of moral values.  This is because the ultimate goal of all the prophets has been the moral training of mankind in a way that they would observe moral values in all arenas of their lives.  

It is clear that both men and women have significant roles to play in developing and sustaining human societies, despite their physical and psychological differences.

The truly stunning operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance forces and youth was a deadly and irreparable blow to the Zionist regime. From a military and intelligence standpoint, this operation was such a fiasco for the Zionist regime that it will stay forever as a blot on its record.

It was mentioned previously that Imam al-Baqir (‘a) lived contemporaneously with 5 of the Umayyid caliphs. We will mention the particularities of each during their time of rule and their administration of the society. This will make evident the social and political conditions and circumstances which Imam al-Baqir (‘a) lived in during his life.

The month of Muharram which is a time to commemorate and mourn the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn is one of the great treasures of not only the Shi’a world, but all of the Muslim world.

The delegation of seminary teachers and researchers sent by Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi to set up his Bi'thah during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage will commence work on Monday Khordad 30th [Dhelqa'dah 20th, 1443 Ah.].

I have been informed that you are about to travel to the Vatican for a meeting with his Excellency the Pope, so I deemed it necessary to make a few points in this regard:

We believe that Allah the Almighty will not let the taking of such innocent lives, including the lives of the innocent people who have been martyred in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Syrian, and the other Islamic countries, go unpunished.

Once again a large number of innocent people were brutally killed in a terrorist attack on a Shi’a mosque in Pakistan, leaving all the Shi’as and other free-spirited people around the world heartbroken.

The news of the passing of the great Shi’a jurist, Grand Ayatollah Sāfī Golpāygānī, has left us all extremely heartbroken and grief-stricken. 

As well as denouncing these violent crimes and expressing my sympathy with all the victims, I admire the valiant efforts of the fearless Palestinian fighters.

Abuṭālib was born eight decades before Hijrah and 35 years before the ʻĀm al-FīlHis father was ʻAbdulmuṭṭalib and his mother was Fatimah, the daughter of ʻAmr ibn ʻĀ’idh al-Makhzūmī. Abuṭālib and the Prophet’s father, Abdullah, were both born to the same father and mother.

The unfortunate accident which happened to you greatly worried all of those who care about you. However, we are happy to hear that your surgery has been successful and, God-willing, your recuperation from this surgery will be short and you will regain full health shortly.

The Imam assumed the divinely appointed position of Imamah in the year 148, when his father was martyred, making him the seventh Shiite Imam. He himself was martyred in either the year 183 Hijri or 186 Hijri.
