🕋 With the sighting of the crescent of Rabi al‑Awwal, faith and divine fervor shine brightly in the heavens of the heart — a month in which golden pages and heavenly occasions are recorded. It is the beginning of a season of joy and glad tidings: the month when the skies were illuminated by the birth of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)… when the Night of Lodging (Laylat al‑Mabit) gave a new meaning to selfless devotion… when the world was adorned with the colors of knowledge and wisdom through the birth of the sixth Imam of Light, Ja‘far al‑Sadiq (AS)… and when the Imamate of the Pole of the Universe, Imam al‑Mahdi (May God Hasten His Reappearance), manifested upon the earth and across the heights of time.

I, while honoring the exalted station of the Noble Messenger of Islam (ﷺ) and Imam Ja‘far al‑Sadiq (AS), extend my heartfelt congratulations on the auspicious advent of the blessed and noble month of Rabi al‑Awwal to the honorable people of Iran. I beseech Almighty God to grant all, especially the esteemed brothers and sisters engaged in the country’s exhibition industry, the success to benefit from the lights of these blessed days and steadfastness upon the path of Ahl al‑Bayt (AS).
