Sheikh Ahmad Gumi’s Statement Raises Eyebrows

In a social media post that has drawn both support and criticism, Nigerian Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi described Khamenei as “a lucky soul” who “died in jihad” against what he termed “killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere.”

Gumi’s full comment highlighted his view that Khamenei’s death would “fuel the change in the ummah” — referring to the global Muslim community — and praised the late leader for “standing firmly for justice” rather than seeking safety.
