Paper: What’s the Strategic Significance of Lebanon’s Ali Taher Heights?

In today's wars, seizure of heights necessarily does not mean ultimately winning the conflict. But its significance becomes clear when the location is used to establish intelligence superiority, control military movement routes, and impose costs on the opposite side. Meanwhile, Ali Taher heights in southern Lebanon, which are a flash point these days, are more a broader geographical-military network than a single military target.

The Secretary-General of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) World Assembly said: The duty of the media, in the truest sense, is to convey the truth.

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: Quran's glad tidings of coming of Seal of Prophets (PBUH) in scriptures of People of Book

AhlulBayt News Agency: The Holy Quran introduces the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) as a prophet whose signs and attributes were mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel, and whom the People of the Book recognized as they would recognize their own children—yet a group of them concealed the truth. Likewise, Amir al-Mu'minin (AS), in the first sermon of Nahj al-Balagha, speaks of a prophet whose signs were known even before his mission, and whose covenant had been taken from the earlier prophets. Both accounts emphasize the pre-established status of the Seal of Prophets (PBUH) within the tradition of divine revelation.

Video: Quran; a preserved revealed heritage and pride of Muslims

AhlulBayt News Agency: One of the greatest honors of Muslims is possessing the Quran as a revealed book preserved from distortion—a text that has remained with Muslims from the time of the Prophet (PBUH) to the present day. In contrast, the four existing Gospels are accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus (AS) compiled after his time, and even Christians do not regard them as the verbatim text revealed to Jesus (AS).
