Statement on the Appointment of the New Guardian Jurist

The Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) addresses the global Ummah in this historic moment with a spirit defined by both profound sorrow and defiant pride. While our hearts weigh heavy with the martyrdom of the Leader, our souls are fortified by the resilience of a path that never falters.

Following the martyrdom of the Leader, the Assembly of Experts, in accordance with the Constitution of the Islamic Republic, has officially appointed His Eminence Ayatollah Sayyid Mujtaba al-Hussaini Khamenei as the new Guardian Jurist and Leader of the Ummah.

The Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) extends its congratulations to the Imam of our time (aj), the esteemed Maraja and the Ummah at large on the appointment of the new Wali al-Faqih, and reaffirms its commitment to the path of Wilayah and to the leadership of the jurists who safeguard the affairs of the faith and the faithful.

The ascension of Ayatollah Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei serves as a clear message to the world: the banner has not fallen. The name and legacy of Khamenei lives on and with it the divine mission continues. The Wilayah has passed to a hand forged in the same trenches of scholarship, piety, and revolutionary defiance.

To the believers: dry your tears and tighten your ranks. To the oppressors: your schemes have failed. You may strike the branch, but you cannot uproot the tree.

The march towards the Mahdi (aj) continues ever stronger, nourished by the blood of the blessed Shaheed and by the unwavering hearts of the believers who remain true to their covenant with Allah.
