Kaduna-based Islamic scholar Ahmad Gumi has described the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as “a lucky soul” who died defending oppressed people.
Gumi wrote, “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: A lucky soul, he died in Jihad against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere. His blood will fuel the change in the ummah. He stood firmly for Justice and didn’t hide in bunkers”

Gumi’s reaction comes as Iran declares 40 days of mourning and 7 public holidays to honor Khamenei’s death. Protests have erupted in Pakistan and Iraq, with some turning violent, resulting in at least 21 deaths in Karachi, Pakistan. The US Consulate in Karachi was stormed by protesters, and the US Embassy in Baghdad was also targeted .
Khamenei’s legacy is being hailed as a symbol of resistance against oppression, with Gumi emphasizing his commitment to justice. The Iranian government has accused the US and Israel of carrying out the attack that killed Khamenei.
The international community is on high alert, with the US warning its citizens to exercise caution in the region. The situation remains fluid, with potential implications for global stability and Middle East politics.
