AhlulBayt News Agency: Massive gathering in Khulna brings together scholars, students, and devotees of Ahlulbayt in solemn pledge to uphold the late Leader's legacy of resisting global arrogance.
On the occasion of the Arbaeen (40th day) commemorating the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Ummah, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, thousands of Bangladeshi Muslims—including scholars, seminary students, faithful believers, and devotees of the Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them)—gathered in the city of Khulna to renew their allegiance to the path of the martyred Leader.
The ceremony, held under the banner of "We Continue the Path of Imam Khamenei," was a powerful display of the global reach of the Islamic Revolution's message—far beyond Iran's borders, deep into the hearts of South Asia's yearning masses.
A Leader Who Defended the Oppressed Everywhere
Addressing the gathering, Hojatoleslam Sayyed Sajjad Hussain, a prominent Bangladeshi cleric, delivered an emotional and insightful speech highlighting the towering personality and invaluable services of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei—the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
"Imam Khamenei was not just a leader for Iran. He was the Leader of the entire Islamic Ummah," Sayyed Sajjad Hussain declared. "He defended Islamic values when the world attacked them. He stood with the oppressed of Palestine, Yemen, Bahrain, and Kashmir when no one else would. He guided this Ummah through decades of conspiracy, sedition, and war—and he never wavered."
The cleric elaborated on the late Leader's unwavering support for the Axis of Resistance, his strategic vision for a new world order free from US-Zionist domination, and his spiritual and intellectual revival of the concept of "Waiting for Imam Mahdi (PBUH)" as an active, revolutionary state of being—not passive resignation.
"The Revolution is Not a Person—It is a Path"
Sayyed Sajjad Hussain emphasized that while the Ummah mourns the physical departure of its great Leader, the revolution he led and nurtured will continue with even greater vigor.
"We do not stop at tears. We move forward. The Imam taught us that the struggle against taghut (false gods), against the arrogance of Washington and Tel Aviv, is a sacred duty until the return of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance)."
He called upon all Bangladeshi Muslims and the global Islamic community to cling to the two weighty things—the Qur'an and the Ahlulbayt—as Imam Khamenei constantly emphasized, and to remain vigilant against the plots of the enemies of Islam who seek to exploit the Leader's absence to create division.
Pledge of Allegiance and Prayers for the Resistance
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the massive crowd raised their hands in collective prayer, beseeching Almighty Allah for:
The swift victory of the Axis of Resistance across Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan.
The speedy reappearance of Imam Mahdi, the Imam of the Age (may Allah hasten his noble advent).
The protection of Iran and the continuation of the Islamic Revolution under the next wise leadership (in line with the system of Velayat-e Faqih).
The unity of the Muslim Ummah against the common enemies of Islam—the US, the Zionist entity, and their regional agents.
Bangladesh: A Sleeping Giant of Resistance
The Khulna gathering is yet another proof that the civilizational call of the Islamic Revolution has never been confined to the geography of Iran. Bangladesh, home to over 160 million Muslims, has historically been a land of Islamic awakening, and the legacy of Imam Khamenei has found fertile ground there.
From Dhaka to Chittagong, from Sylhet to Khulna, the lovers of Ahlulbayt and followers of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei continue to organize study circles, solidarity rallies, and commemorations—often under difficult political conditions.
As one participant told Hawzah News:
"Imam Khamenei is gone from our eyes, but he is alive in our hearts and in our revolution. We will carry his flag until the last oppressor falls."
A New Chapter, Not an End
The Arbaeen of Imam Khamenei marks not the end of an era, but the beginning of a new chapter—a chapter in which the global resistance movement becomes more decentralized, more rooted in local struggles, and yet more unified under the timeless principles of justice, dignity, and monotheism.
The people of Bangladesh have spoken: They will continue the path. They will continue the struggle. And they will continue to await the dawn of Imam Mahdi's just world.
