A statement of Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr to the visitors of Al-Imam Al-Hussein on 17\11\2016

In the name of Allah

Everyone who went to (the Holy Kaaba) indeed he went to the symbol of sacrifice and symbol of obedience to Allah Glory to Him…therefore everyone who went to pilgrimage to Al-Kaaba, he raised the slogan (There is none worthy of worship, except Allah) Mohammed is the messenger of Allah and Ali is the guardian of Allah…praise be to Allah Who made us from theists to Him and not polytheist in Him neither by public polytheism nor by hidden polytheism. Also walking to Al-Imam al-Hussein (peace of Allah be upon him) it is walking to kiblah of Al-Jihad, reformation, sacrifice, perishing, redemption, martyrdom, loyalty and obedience…praise be to Allah Who made us and you from those who said (Our Lord is Allah then they stand firm ) we are the theists, we are Al-Mujahedeen, we are the reformers, we are sacrificing, we are perishable in Allah, in the country, we are lovers of martyrdom on the way of Al-Hussein and his method. Yes, everyone who walked to Al-Imam Al-Hussein should intend the obedience of Allah firstly and follow the method of Al-Hussein secondly…whereas walking to Him isn't mere steps that the person walks without aim or intention they aren't absurd steps, they carry higher meanings of integration. Walking to Al-Imam Al-Hussein is walking to the prophecy and mission and walking to him is walking to the imamate and infallibility and walking to him is walking to Al-Jihad and sacrifice, and walking to him is walking to reject the oppression and dictatorship, and walking to him is walking to the reformation and righteousness, walking to him is walking to the martyrdom and perishing
Therefore we see these millions patient and believer walkers in the anniversary of the forty (Arba'eniya) of Al-imam Al-Hussein (peace of Allah be upon him) whose neck was cut by hands of terrorism and his ribs were crushed by hands of oppression and arrogance and his white hair was dyed by hands of offense and aggression they walk and call: how far the abjectness is from us carrying the banner (come to the reformation) taking the higher meanings of reformation from their master and imam the imam of reformation and righteousness when he said: I didn't rise as an insolent or arrogant person but I rose to seek reformation in the nation of my grandfather the messenger of Allah. Yes, those who walk to him as if they walk to the martyrdom whereas they are from those who wear the hearts on the armors and come to the sacrifice by precious things for their religion, doctrine and country , they didn't fear from terrorism nor occupation nor deviated thoughts nor croaked voices, everyone who walk to kiblah of Islamic human and Husseini spring as if he walks to the perishing in Allah, in country, in religion and in doctrine
Greeting of Allah be upon any one who took obedience for Allah a way, the martyrdom an aim, and the reformation a way, and greeting of Allah be upon any one who follow the reformative and jihadi way of Al-Imam Al-Hussein leaving the present life behind his back wearing his shroud on his chest pulling out his weapon against his soul which inclines to evil before pulling out against the terrorism, occupation, injustice, dictatorship and corruption. Greeting of Allah be upon any one who visited Al-Imam Al-Hussein from all of world whether those who came from Europe or from the near regional countries as states of Gulf or states of Levant or Iran or states of Asia…and they will see us (we are the Iraqis) a school for them in the reformation and the generosity, and our houses are houses for them whereas you are the guests of Al-Hussein and people of the home, and our guest if you visit us you will see that we are the guest and you are owner of the house. May God accepts your good deeds, and may God accepts your walking which should be a pure walking for Allah and His messenger and the prophet's family, so don’t use it for a policy or for present life or for fame or for money, all of them from annulling of worship and the reward, and keep on your prayer and lowering the eyes and the gravity and the cleanness, and I ask God to include you by His Mercy give you success, and bestow on you with the safe, peace and reformative. And we shouldn't be inattentive in thanking the hero security forces that fight in the front fire, and keep the walkers and lovers of rites in worship place…may Allah accept their deeds, and I ask Allah to assist the oppressed people in all of world especially in wounded Mosul, and guide the steps of the rebels in states of Arabic spring and make the evil of terrorism and alliances far from Yemen and Syria, and protect their nations from the terrorism and occupation and from intervention of unjust America, and fix us on enmity against enemies of the religion especially the inauspicious trinity (Israel, USA and Britain) and don’t make for us a dialogue with them nor mutual understanding as long as they occupy our states and distort our thoughts and religion
Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah be upon you
