AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Wednesday, March 16, 2022, in a meeting with the elites, clerics and cultural activists of Khomem in the assembly hall of the Shahid Beheshti Library of the city, while pointing to the valuable capacity of young elites in the Islamic society, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “We must acquire the knowledge necessary to manage the elite.”
Appreciating the efforts of Hojat al-Islam Assadollahzadeh, Friday Prayer leader of Khomem and his centrality in the cultural activities of the city, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Fortunately, Khomem’s cultural affairs is well managed.”
“It is important to pay attention to the goals, policies, and strategies in the cultural sector,” he added, “We need to prepare a cultural document for Gilan and each of the cities of the province.”
“Khomem is growing day by day, and transit capacity, connection with the provincial capital (Rasht) and the (Anzali) free-trade zone, are among these capacities,” Ayatollah Ramazani said, referring to the capacities of the city of Khomem.
“The Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasizes the preparation of documents for the cultural, religious, political, economic, and social sectors, as well as family sphere,” he mentioned, “Cultural work is long overdue, yet it needs management, and if it is not taken seriously, the enemies will infiltrate it with a cultural invasion.”
“Some foreign ambassadors come to Iran solely for the cultural activities,” he clarified, referring to the allocation of large budgets of the enemies for cultural affairs.
“Today, the enemy knows that overthrowing the Islamic Republic is not possible through street protests. Therefore, it has done its best for cultural invasion. Therefore, the enemy seeks to change the lifestyle, and the dress and hijab of women,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“More than 90% of cyberspace media giants are in the hands of the Zionists,” the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts added, “Young generation is affected by the cultural actions of the enemy through smartphones.”
“Addressing the ministers and officials, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution referred to toys as examples of cultural damage. The enemy pursues cultural change through cartoon characters, computer games, dolls, and toys for children and adolescents,” he added.
“We need to make toys and computer games in accordance with Iranian and Islamic culture. The requirements need to be identified and studied, and the type of communication and treatment with adolescents and young people should be examined,” Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.
Stating that the Supreme Leader creates literature and discourse, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “In every category in which the enemy works, including human rights and democracy, the Supreme Leader conceptualizes the issues.”
Criticizing the loss of some opportunities since the victory of the revolution, he added, “Today, in designing topics and contents, we must recognize and pay attention to the type of literature of the young generation.”
Once Muslims were the center of the science in the world, but the enemies hindered the growth of Muslims,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated, noting that in the statement of the second phase of the Islamic Revolution, the Supreme Leader emphasizes scientific progress.
Referring to the concepts of responsible spirituality and irresponsible spirituality, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts added, “The Iranian warriors had the responsible spirituality during the eight years of the holy defense (Iraq’s eight-year invasion of Iran).”
“Religious gatherings play a prominent role in the issue of ethics in society and the development of lifestyle,” he mentioned, “Britain has historically sought to shut down religious ceremonies and to remove preaching from Heyat (religious gatherings.”
“The British ambassador reportedly donated 15,000 machetes to religious Heyats to deviate mourning for AhlulBayt (a.s.) from its true path,” he said, “Even today, Britain seeks to divide the Islamic world.”
Then, referring to the appointments in the new government, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Those who are not familiar with the discourse of the Islamic Revolution do not have the right to take office in the system.”
“In the Islamic system, the officials must be completely familiar with the discourse and literature of the Islamic Republic, that is, resistance and justice. In the provinces, the appointment committee need to be formed so that managers are appointed based on competence, experience, and ability, and not based on wanting a share of the system,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“In issues such as divorce, births, etc., the situation in Gilan province is not suitable at all, and despite its unique capacities, the province is not in a good situation in terms of social affairs,” he added.
Referring to the issue of Awaiting and the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), Ayatollah Ramazani said, “In the Awaiting era, the issues of self-purification, building the society, and providing the ground for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) are of great importance, and during this period, the Muslim should not be isolated, but should actively present in society.”
“At this historic turning point, we must be able to have a proper presence in the arenas and be able to manage,” the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “This proper presence requires religious management, and the management itself requires knowledge of religious management.”
“Introducing our discourse must go beyond the traditional mode. Of course, in the field of Islamic propagation, the Minbar has no alternative, and has its own audience,” he mentioned.
“Today, with the cultural activities of the West, the concept of family and its examples have changed. With the spiritual strength and desire of the young generation towards spirituality, we stand against the enemy. Today, Western youth are tired of immorality and vulgarity of their societies,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
It should be mentioned that at the beginning of the ceremony of Hojat al-Islam Assadollahzadeh, the Friday prayer leader of Khomem and four cultural activists of the city expressed the problems and their opinions.
