Is something big going to happen after Ali Khamenei’s funeral? A special red message placed on the coffin; America’s senses were blown away by the voter turnout.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Funeral: The funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will begin on Saturday (July 4), for which delegations from all over the world will reach Tehran. Khamenei’s coffin will be placed on a stage in Tehran’s Grand Mosallah. The special thing is that the red flag of Imam Reza Dargah in his own city Mashhad has been placed on the coffin of the former Supreme Leader.

Symbol of Hussain’s sacrifice

Experts say that this red flag on Khamenei’s coffin shows Iran comparing the death of its Supreme Leader with the martyrdom of Karbala. Nader Hashmi, a professor of Middle East and Islamic politics at America’s Georgetown University, told Al Jazeera that the red flag symbolizes the sacrifice of Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed.

Hussein was killed during the Battle of Karbala in the 7th century and is highly revered in Shia Islam. He is considered the second Imam. He further said that the martyrdom of Hussain in the battle of Karbala is considered a great example of morality for Shia Muslims. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to compare the death of its Supreme Leader with those who were killed in the US and Israeli attacks.

What do the black and red flags mean?

The place where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s coffin is kept in Tehran has been decorated with black and red banners and photos of Khamenei. It should be noted that in Shia Islam, the black flag is associated with suffering, and the red flag with revenge.

The programs related to Ali Khamenei’s funeral will run from July 4 to July 9. His funeral rites will also be taken to many cities of Iraq. The Islamic Republic’s intention behind doing this is believed to be an attempt to establish Ali Khamenei as a worldwide recognized leader in Shia Islam. After all this, Khamenei will be buried in his own city Mashhad.
