Grand Shia Cleric: Muslims Should Mark Imam Hadi’s Martyrdom More Glorious

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Grand Iranian Shia cleric, Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpaigani called on Muslims to hold commemorating ceremonies for the Martyrdom of Imam Hadi (PBUH) and try to make the ceremonies better and more glorious than previous years.Speaking among some religious instructors and Qom seminary students, Ayatollah Safi Golpaigani said, “this is the duty of Muslims to hit the streets and mark this day.”“By holding religious ceremonies, Muslims can show their love and respect to Ahlalbayt,” the grand Ayatollah mentioned.Ayatollah Safi Golpaigani pointed to the enemies’ malignant aims and said, “The enemies of Islam try harder to make Muslims indifferent toward Ahlalbayt and decrease their love toward our religious Imams and leaders.”He pointed to heinous act committed by Shahin Najafi and said, “No sacrilegious and disrespectful act from a Muslim person toward Shia Imams is acceptable.”Recently a young singer in Germany has performed a song desecrating Imam Hadi (AS), tenth Shia Imam raising the anger of Muslim communities across the world.A number of Iranian Shia jurisprudents have announced him to be heretic, a statement for which the punishment is execution.Previously the same statement has been issued for Salman Rushdie, Indian author of Satanic Verses, the book which desecrated Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). /129
