Full Text: Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's Message to the Third International Conference of Media Narrators of the Ahlul Bayt (AS)

In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.

Video: Logic of Victory in School of Ashura

AhlulBayt News Agency: The uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is not merely a historical event, but an eternal school for reviving divine values, seeking justice, and confronting oppression. The Master of the Martyrs (a.s.) rose with the aim of reforming the Ummah, revising the practice of enjoining good and forbidding evil, and returning society to the path of the Quran and the Sunnah; and through his martyrdom, he transformed the material criteria of victory and defeat—such that in the logic of Ashura, standing firm upon truth and resisting falsehood is itself the greatest victory.
