From the earliest hours of dawn, Payambar-e Azam Boulevard took on a different atmosphere. It seemed as though all of Iran had gathered along the seven-kilometer route to bid a final farewell to its Martyred Leader. The millions who traveled from across the country came not only to attend the funeral procession, but to renew their covenant with a leader whose name has become a symbol of sacrifice in the history of the Islamic Resistance.
The spiritual atmosphere has been filled with elegies recited by Ahl al-Bayt mourners, alongside passionate chants from mourners carrying black mourning flags and red banners symbolizing the pursuit of justice and steadfastness. Throughout the route, portraits of the Martyred Leader and Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei are held aloft, conveying a clear message to the world: "The path of this martyr will not be stopped."
The presence of senior political and religious figures alongside mourning processions has created a striking display of national unity. This is not merely a funeral ceremony, but a demonstration of spiritual and political strength, reflecting the deep devotion of the Islamic Ummah to a leader who sacrificed his life for the advancement of Islam and the security of the nation.
As the cortege moves toward the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Fatima Masumeh (PBUH), chants of "Labbayk Ya Hussein" and "Labbayk Ya Khamenei" echo across Qom. Today's epic gathering demonstrates that despite all efforts to create division, the bond between the people and their leader remains unbreakable. With tearful eyes and resolute steps, the immense crowds are creating an image that will endure in history, a portrait of a nation whose loyalty never falters in times of trial.

According to NOURNEWS correspondents, the fourth day of the ceremonies continues the three historic days of farewell in Tehran, from the public tribute at Imam Khomeini Mosalla, the attendance of numerous foreign delegations, funeral prayers over the martyrs, and the unprecedented procession through the capital, which became one of the largest public gatherings in recent years. Today, Qom adds another chapter to that historic farewell as the funeral procession moves from Jamkaran Mosque to the Shrine of Hazrat Fatima Masumeh (PBUH).
Since yesterday afternoon, all roads leading into Qom have experienced heavy traffic from arriving pilgrims. Traffic police have expanded parking facilities and deployed additional public transportation while urging participants to follow traffic regulations to ensure the orderly conduct of the ceremonies.
At the Shrine of Hazrat Fatima Masumeh (PBUH), as the funeral procession approaches, mourners chant "O Son of Fatimah, we await you," while the anthem "We Must Rise" once again reinforces the message of steadfastness, loyalty, and the continuation of the martyrs' path.
Meanwhile, international coverage of the ceremonies continues. Over the past three days, leading regional and international media outlets have carried live broadcasts and extensive reports on the Tehran ceremonies, describing them as one of the world's largest public gatherings. They are now closely following the events in Qom. Many outlets have portrayed the sustained public turnout as a symbol of social cohesion, national strength, and the continuity of the Resistance discourse.
On the fourth day of the farewell, Qom is hosting more than a funeral procession. It has become a meeting place for people renewing their covenant, demonstrating through their presence that the path of the martyrs does not end with martyrdom. From Jamkaran to the Shrine of the Lady of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), this magnificent farewell extends Tehran's epic gathering and presents the world with a lasting image of national unity.
