Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei & culture of reading and studying

Imam Khamenei’s simple suggestion to include the culture of reading and studying in the Festival program proved insightful in carrying forward Iq’ra to posterity. The Imam’s belief was his very breath. His activities based on belief were the map-in-progress of his life – both intrinsic and extrinsic. His belief entailed life beyond sensory vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It was heartfelt perception with deliberate reflection.

Paper; Israeli Navy: From Protecting Coasts to Addressing Threats in Distant Waters

Though the Israeli regime is considered an air power in West Asia and North Africa, its geographical position, economic dependence on the sea routes, and serious limits in territorial depth have given sea a significance beyond a subordinate operation scene in the Israeli security strategy.

Ayatollah Ramazani: The West distorts Islam; we must tell the truth

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. We should not view media and virtual space with a Machiavellian perspective. The West exploits virtual space to expand its power, but our approach must be humanitarian and realistic.

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.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Man's true tranquility lies in servitude to God, not in sin. Superficial pleasures, though seemingly glamorous, do not save the heart from sorrow and anxiety and turn a person into a tool for exploitation and betrayal. In such a society, whose individuals were drowned in sin and depression, the worship of Ali ibn al-Hussein (a.s.), like a shining light, drew polluted hearts toward repentance and awakening.
