Dr. Hamid Ansari:

Only he was capable of doing this job

When I was with him in private, I felt he’s ready to leave. What he used to say, the mystic poems he used to read and explain from Hafez, Saadi and Imam Khomeini, made me feel like this. An unknown feeling which I can’t describe and I could only say that I felt it clearly that he knows he’s leaving.

Change of Flags

The changing of the flags of the two holy shrines at Karbala

The red flags of these two holy shrines were changed yesterday as a symbol of the start of the month of Muharram and mourning. Thousands of people witnessed this event, which declared the commencement of the grief of the Shi’a for the loss of the master of martyrs, Imam Hussein (as) and his honourable household, and the difficulties they endured for the sake of Islam.
