Ayatollah Ramazani: Media best language for propagating AhlulBayt’s teachings

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The language of the media, as the most necessary and comprehensive tool of propagation and education, is the best language for propagating the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.).”

On Wednesday, November 3, 2021, Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Ali Mohsen Taghavi, former Chairman of the Local Assembly of India and member of the General-Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, met with Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary-General of the Assembly.

In this meeting, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “Today, the best language for propagating the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) is the language of the media. The media is the most essential and comprehensive tool for propagating and education.”

“In the past, perhaps a hundred people attended the sermon of a Alem (religious scholar), but today millions can benefit from a talk,” he continued.

“Benefitting from the young people fluent in foreign languages, Islamic knowledge should be promoted in cyberspace, and if our propagation is done properly, it can prevent deviations in society,” emphasized the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

“Shiite clergy have special conditions, both inside and outside the country. Some of the attacks and dislike for the clergy on social media are due to the great influence of this class in society,” he said, regarding the efforts of the Shiite clergy to spread the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.).

“As it is emphasized in the hadiths, we should interact a lot with the youth. Because young people can grow and improve. Also, Western countries seek to influence our families. Therefore, we must have religious programs for families,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated in his recommendations.

“The West makes films to confront Mahdavi thought. Therefore, suspicions against Mahdism must be answered. In some books of hadith, there are false narrations about the age of Imam Mahdi’s (a.s.) Reappearance. For example, it is falsely narrated that many people will be killed before the uprising of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). These narrations cause fear and panic among Muslims. While this Imam will fight against the oppressors and aggressors,” he said, referring to the need to introduce the divine mercy.

“The age of Imam Mahdi’s (a.s.) Reappearance will be the age of knowledge, the growth and completion of reason, the establishment of complete security, the increase of sustenance and justice. Justice will be such that everyone who refers to a court of law will get his right, and the judicial system will confront the oppressors. Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and his age of Reappearance should be introduced as such. But according to fake narrations, some people create a negative mentality against Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and the time of his Reappearance,” emphasized the professor of the higher levels of the seminary of Qom.

“Haj Qassem evaded bureaucracy, and was a man of the field, and the very presence in the fields made him influential. General Soleimani is mentioned in all foreign visits. Martyr Beheshti also said when he was attacked and asked to defend himself, “I have planned my time and I have considered no time to defend myself. I must strengthen my faith so much that God Himself will defend me, and answer these (attacks)”,” he said, referring to the struggles of General Soleimani.

Ayatollah Ramazani also called for the patience of Indian Ulama in the face of difficulties in propagating the Islamic teachings.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Ali Mohsen Taghavi presented a report on the situation of Shiites in India.
