The great Muslim leader believed that the occasion of Hajj should be used to settle differences among the Muslim nations and accelerate unity among them.
The founder of the Islamic Republic also maintained that the Hajj should be turned into an international platform to resolve the main problems and issues facing the Muslim world.
The great leader asserted that this politico-religious congress should be used to raise awareness among the Islamic societies and inform the Muslim nations about the crimes being committed against them by the world colonial powers.
Imam used to issue special messages to the pilgrims of the House of Allah each year and gave special advises to relevant institution about how to introduce the pure and genuine teachings of Islam during the season of Hajj.
Imam’s famous book of Hajj introduces real philosophy of this spiritual pilgrimage and sheds light on its surrounding issues.
Imam once said in one of his messages issued on this spiritual occasion as following:
“Another problem is a lack of relations between nations. The relation between the nations either counts for naught or it is very little. According to God's decree the faithful are all considered brethren. Brothers have to be aware of their brothers' condition. Brothers should solve their brothers' problems. While designing this issue that would result in the understanding of all the strata and such is the issue of hajj, Islam has obliged those Mustati[1] individuals from the Muslim countries to perform the hajj pilgrimage. It has also provided numerous mawaqif[2] there to facilitate a better understanding. It is unfortunate however that Muslims are neglectful. If governments intend to assemble a gathering of two hundred people from different countries, what a trouble this will entail and what expenditures that is endured in order for that two hundred people to gather in a place and set up an assembly there. Now, God, the Blessed and Exalted, has provided Muslims with an assembly of several million people and has decreed for all brethren to go there; there a fraternal relationship exists among the faithful; they are considered brethren. If these brothers do not attend to one another's condition, the faults are not those of Islam's; the faults are ours.”
“If we preserve those mawaqif that Islam has provided and we guide the people concerning these mawaqif, then Islam will advance. The problems of the Muslim countries will be solved. Others will not be able to covet us. The one-billion Muslim people will not be a captive of such a bunch of individuals or governments. The one-billion people possessing treasures- possessing underground treasures- and the power of faith, the faith in God, if they do not utilize such a big spiritual and material power for Muslims, which cannot be found elsewhere, they themselves are at fault and should be blamed. The Muslims should change their own condition.”
