We are referring to the tragedy that struck Hajj pilgrims in Mena on September 24, either because of gross incompetence by Saudi Arabia or deliberate mischief by the regime in Riyadh that resulted in the death of over 5,000 Guests of God, of whom 464 were from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
So far over 300 bodies of the Martyrs of Mena have arrived home, and there is little chance of the rest being repatriated, because of the inhuman measures adopted by the Saudis in using dumpers to gather these already crushed corpses and loading them into refrigerated containers with limbs and heads detached.
May God damn these Wahhabi heretics, who are in occupation of the Land of Revelation since their bloody invasion of Hijaz in 1924 and the unleashing of bloodbaths in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, as well as in Ta’ef, Yanbu, and Jeddah, by Abdul-Aziz ibn Saud, who went on to blasphemously desecrate and destroy the Sacred Jannat al-Baqi and Jannat al-Mo’alla Cemeteries.
Could we expect humanitarian behaviour from such terrorists?
There are reports of how sadistically Saudi security personnel joked and mocked the dying who were craving for water, and in many cases snuffed out the life of some of the Iranian pilgrims.
Moreover, it has been confirmed that five top Iraqi officials who were in Mecca for this year’s Hajj were kidnapped, killed and their bodies thrown amidst the victims of the Mena stampede.
The same fate is supposed to have fallen Iran’s former ambassador to Lebanon, Ghazanfar Roknabadi, who as broadcast by TV channels, had on the previous day in Arafa, read the message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to the gathering observing the important ritual of "bara’at min-al-mushrikin” (disavowal of disbelievers).
It is time, world Muslims should wake up and demand liberation of Hijaz, especially the holy cities, from the illegal occupation of the Najdis. Iran is showing the way, and we must not sit idle, or chant mere slogans for liberation of Islam’s former qibla, the al-Aqsa Mosque in Bayt al-Moqaddas from the Zionist yoke, when the present qibla (the holy Ka’ba in Mecca) is crying for freedom from the tentacles of the Aal-e Saud.
We earnestly pray to God Almighty to hasten the reappearance of the Lord of the Age, Prophet Muhammad’s (SAWA) 12th and Last Infallible Heir, Imam Mahdi (AS), who will reappear to establish the global government of peace, prosperity and justice by weeding out oppression and corruption from Planet Earth. Amen.
