SYMBOLIC PROTOCOL THAT CHALLENGED THE MIDDLE EAST AND ISLAMIC SECTS.
Iran introduced a protocol in which a specific verse from the Holy Quran was recited for each delegation as it stood before the coffin of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The verses were not selected at random; each was carefully chosen and directed to the respective delegation.
Saudi Arabian delegation
Surah Aal-E-Imran (3:13):
"There has already been for you a sign in the two armies that met in battle: one fighting in the cause of Allah and another of disbelievers. They saw them to be twice their number by their eyesight. But Allah supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed, in that is a lesson for those of insight."
Delegation of Iraqi tribal sheikhs
Surah Al-Ahzab (33:1):
"O Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Indeed, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Turkish delegation
Surah An-Nisa (4:95):
"Allah has preferred those who strive with their wealth and their lives over those who remained behind by a degree. Although Allah has promised goodness to both, He has preferred those who strive over those who remained behind with a great reward."
Lebanese government delegation
Surah An-Nisa (4:66):
"And if We had decreed upon them, 'Kill yourselves' or 'Leave your homes,' they would not have done so, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a stronger confirmation of faith."
Hezbollah delegation
Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:55–56):
"Your ally is none but Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe—those who establish prayer, give zakah, and bow in worship. Whoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and the believers as allies, then indeed, the Party of Allah—they are the victorious."
Hamas movement delegation
Surah Al-Ahzab (33:23):
"Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Among them are those who fulfilled their vow, and among them are those who still await their turn. They have never changed their commitment in the least."
This master stroke by Shia regime in Iran, has challenged the relationship of west and Middle East Sunni Islam Arabs.

I have nothing about the Somali Referee Omar Artan but if you look keenly the Kenyan flag was missing during his grand welcoming at the BBS Mall in a meeting attended by CS Aden Duale
@LauraLoomer would you kill yourself for this in your country? Indeed Islam is the fastest growing religion. You will hurt your emotions and drive yourself to serious agony.
All the best minion of hate.
@Bushra1Shaikh Why are minions bitter about journalistic/influence work of this lady?
Why are they mad about her dressing style and Iran culture? Why are others not concerned about them even if the live like animals?
@nee53074808@Araghchhi Report by who? By agents of America & Israel? The people who are fighting hard to dominate Iran?
What a rat thinking from you.
But don't you see even in World Cup, Islam is growing in every match? @LauraLoomer I see you will commit suicide because your hate and action on Islam is so, so insignificant to prosperity of Islam.
You wil only get emotional and hurt your inner feelings. You will not know peace.
Direct your energy to building your religion if you have one or something better for your life. Islam is Religion protected by THE LORD, not humans.
@shanaka86 Israel can do nothing to Iran without US support. Iran delayed the burial because of war. 4th - 9th July is very important. We are watching who would give us excuse.
African, Kenya, akamba, Professor who advocate for free right believe elections are won through State Power but not democracy.
What was Professor of law teaching at Buffalo Law School, NY?
Prof Makau Mutua: I did not control the government, I was not the president, I did not control the IEBC, or the Supreme Court. There was a private citizen, arguably one of Baba’s closest strategists and advisors. I called him my soul mate. How does this private individual who teaches in New York come to Kenya and cause all these state institutions to deny Baba the presidency? I heard Dennis say that I took Baba hostage. Do you think that any person could take Baba hostage? If Baba was taken hostage, where were the other people? #CitizenSundayLive
Isiolo JIMA Secretary Abdikadir Suleiman, rejoinder to scratching attack from @RehemaJaldesa who publicly announced, she is against those who voted @GovGuyo against BCE in 2022.
The alleged JIMA President coronation event turned political rallies for different camps.
INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY AND STRUGGLE OF SOMALI PEOPLE.
If you've been wondering about the song currently flooding the internet, here's the history behind it.
On 1 July 1960, two Somali territories united to form the Federal Democratic Republic of Somalia, marking one of the most significant moments in Somali history.
British Somaliland gained independence from the United Kingdom on 26 June 1960. Five days later, on 1 July 1960, Italian Somaliland, which had been administered by Italy under a United Nations trusteeship after World War II, also gained independence. On the same day, the two territories voluntarily united to establish the Somali Republic, with Mogadishu as its capital. Aden Abdullah Osman Daar (Aden Adde) became the country's first President.
The founding leaders were driven by a VISION that extended beyond the borders of the new republic. Their aspiration was to unite all Somali-inhabited territories into one nation-state.
This vision is symbolized by the white five-pointed star on the Somali flag, with each point traditionally representing Somalis in British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, French Somaliland (now Djibouti), the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, and the Northern Frontier District (now part of Kenya).
More than six decades later, that vision remains unfulfilled. Somaliland has operated as a self-governing administration for decades, after auter of Said Barre and continues to seek international recognition as an independent state—Israel is first country to recognize it, while the Federal Government of Somalia & IGAD maintains that it remains part of Somalia. As a result, the original dream of a united Somali nation-state remains unresolved.
Somalia has also endured decades of civil conflict, political instability, and insecurity. Violence involving militant groups and recurring political disputes has severely affected governance, development, and the lives of ordinary citizens. While many Somalis continue to commemorate Independence and Union Day with pride and hope, others view the anniversary as a reminder of the challenges that still stand in the way of the aspirations envisioned by the country's founding fathers.
