AhlulBayt News Agency: Senior Iranian cleric Grand Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli has stressed that the United States and the Israeli regime lack the capacity to inflict damage on the Islamic system, expressing confidence that the Islamic establishment will ultimately be handed over “sound and intact” to its rightful guardian, Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance).
Speaking at the opening of his advanced jurisprudence class on Saturday, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli offered prayers for the preservation of the Islamic system, saying hostile powers have repeatedly failed to derail its course and will continue to do so.
The senior scholar began his lecture by marking the auspicious birth anniversary of Imam Zayn al-Abidin (Imam Sajjad, peace be upon him), highlighting the central role of supplication (du‘a) and the enduring relevance of the Imam’s Risalat al-Huquq (Treatise on Rights).
Ayatollah Javadi Amoli said Imam Sajjad presented a comprehensive framework for both individual and social life, noting that supplication in the Imam’s teachings goes far beyond the mere asking of needs. “In this outlook, du‘a is a complete guide for human conduct, ensuring that one neither strays from the right path nor obstructs the path of others, while remaining fully responsible toward oneself, one’s family, and society,” he said.
He pointed to the weekly supplications attributed to Imam Sajjad—designated for each day of the week—as a disciplined spiritual and ethical program that structures a life of faith and responsibility. In addition, he said, another category of supplications addresses specific life events and circumstances, functioning as practical directives for action in times of difficulty, uncertainty, or transition.
“These two dimensions—the regular weekly program and the situational supplications—form two distinct yet complementary scholarly frameworks,” Ayatollah Javadi Amoli explained.
Turning to the Treatise on Rights, he described it as one of Imam Sajjad’s (PBUH) most significant legacies, emphasizing that it is not merely a moral text but a rigorous and practical guide for regulating political, social, and familial relations. “It teaches how a statesman should act, how society should be understood, and how individuals should relate to the system, the community, the people, and the family—clearly defining the rights and duties in each sphere,” he said.
The senior cleric noted that while God is indeed the fulfiller of needs and the opener of doors, every supplication has its proper place and context—an order and precision taught by Imam Sajjad. He described the Imam’s threefold legacy—weekly supplications, situational supplications, and the Treatise on Rights—as exceptionally valuable for today’s civilized society.
Ayatollah Javadi Amoli called on officials and cultural institutions to translate, explain, and operationalize these teachings for different segments of society, including youth, adolescents, adults, and families, using language appropriate to each group so that the guidance of Imam Sajjad can be realized in practice.
He also underlined the importance of reliance on God, saying many people seek solutions from various sources without success, whereas turning first to God often opens the way forward. “Sometimes a problem is resolved not through extraordinary means, but through divine guidance—by being directed toward the right counsel or the right person,” he said.
Concluding his remarks with prayers for the safeguarding of the Islamic system, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli reiterated that the United States and the Israeli regime are incapable of undermining this path, expressing hope that the Islamic system will, by God’s will, be delivered safely to its ultimate and rightful custodian, Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him).
