AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in the Iraqi city of Najaf’s Fatimah al-Kubra Husayniyah, Sayyed Sadruddin al-Qubanchi said, “This is a good time to strengthen relations between Iraq and Iran and [Iraqi] Prime Minister’s [Mustafa al-Kadhimi] visit to Iran is the right step and we hope that the Iraqi people will see positive effects in strengthening political, economic and cultural relations while maintaining the independence of the two countries.”
Regarding the arrival of Muharram, he said, “I expect all the dear ones to keep these days alive by observing the hygiene rules and I thank the medical staff who make great efforts and I expect the preachers on the pulpits of Imam al-Husayn to present their programs through social networks to commemorate Muharram.”
Sayyed al-Qubanchi referred to the demonstrations that took place due to the power outage in the 50 degrees heat in Iraq and said, “I call on the security forces to deal peacefully with the demonstrators and I also call for the release of the Iraqi prisoners who were detained during the protests due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus).”
In another part of his sermon, His Eminence stated, “The United States has seen its largest budget deficit in the past month at $864 billion, in addition to internal unrest and military intervention in the crackdown on American protesters, as well as shaky relations with Europe, China and Russia, all of which indicate the collapse of the American government.”
He said, “The Saudis have crossed all the red lines and are seeking to normalize relations with the Zionist regime, such that in an article by the dean of the department of Comparative Jurisprudence at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University, we come across the issue (“Saudi Jews and Muhammad’s Persecution of Them”). This article mentions that the Holy Prophet was the enemy of the Jews and that they were the original inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, and called for the resettlement of the Jews in Makkah and Madinah.”
Sayyed al-Qubanchi added, “We call on the Iraqi people to be more vigilant and cautious about these Zionist seditions.”
