Nowruz; The Shared Heritage of Iran and Afghanistan in the Shadow of Cultural Solidarity
Alireza Rajaei/ Since the early days of the emergence of mankind and the formation of human societies, social traditions have been born, crystallized, and gradually evolved as the outcome of their interactions. Although this issue is not specific and limited to a specific environment and geography, as history shows, the people living in Iran have always been pioneers and leaders in this path. One of these pioneers is the ancient and long-standing tradition of Nowruz, which extends from the East to the West of the world, from Turkestan in western China to the Balkans in eastern Europe. However, its beating heart still beats in Iran and its red and springing flower rises in Afghanistan. Nowruz has been so powerful and strong that over thousands of years, like a phoenix, it has risen from its ashes and continued its flight to reach the peak stronger and stronger each time. It has never been defeated by political, social changes and numerous and extensive military conflicts in history, which naturally shows the internal, institutionalized and superior power of this unique natural and human phenomenon; to the extent that today it is the most mixed and fused ancient tradition of Iran with Islam and the Shiite religion.
Of course, this mutual acceptance is mutual and has its roots in the dynamism, rebirth and harmony of both sides with human nature and nature. It cannot be hidden that many traditions and cultures have stepped on the path of death and destruction with the arrival of religions, even before Islam, either immediately or gradually; but in contrast, the story of Nowruz and Islam, especially its Shiite reading, has become an eternal love story that increases in its loveliness and excitement every day. Undoubtedly, strong logic combined with content consistent with nature and human nature has formed the foundation of this bond.
 
An example of this claim is our and your presence in one of the most important and sacred places of worship for Shiites and Iranians to commemorate the most important traditional celebration of the ancient and civilized area of ​​Iran. A unique personality who everyone thought that with his arrival in Iran and the formation of the 57 revolution, traditions like Nowruz would be destroyed or marginalized; but contrary to this idea, new blood flowed through the veins of Nowruz and continued on its path more powerfully, to the point that today his blessed shrine hosts the traditional ritual of Afghans who are guests of Iranians.
 
Without a doubt, this green presence and warm celebration are the result of the rebirth of Nowruz and the dynamism of Shiite jurisprudence. Let us pledge and swear together in this holy place and heavenly moments to be diligent in preserving all this potential, beauty, and vitality, and to spare no effort in transmitting the importance and sanctity of preserving the heritage of our fathers to our children.
 
Just as all the pillars of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially those involved in the diplomatic service, based on our great leader and mentor, the Great Khomeini, whose precious grandson we are honored to host today, Ayatollah Seyyed Hassan Khomeini, and under the leadership and guardianship of His Holiness Ayatollah (Imam) Khamenei, as in the past half a century, they will use all their efforts to develop the beautiful Nowruz tradition nationally, regionally, and globally, and will continue to move in this direction.
