AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a meeting with a group of university students, it was said: with the slogan of woman, life and freedom, they have targeted the principle of religion, and the issue of woman and hijab is an excuse. This slogan originated from the espionage and military centers of enemies, such as Israel, America and England.
This morning, Ayatollah Mohammad Javad Fazil Lankarani said, in the meeting of university students of Qazvin province which was held at the Jurisprudence Center of Innocent Imams (a.s), that the activities of cultural, scientific and religious figures in universities are very valuable and commendable. We should know that the mission of dear students is to protect and support the Islamic system. In this regard, the Supreme Leader has guidelines that must be followed.
By reciting the verse 30 of Surah Rum: "Then set your face upright for religion in the right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion", the prominent scholar of Kharej courses in Qom added: Although all the verses of the Qur'an are important and effective, this verse is one of the most practical verses of the Holy Qur'an which should be given special consideration.
The member of Qom seminary scholars community, stating that in this verse, Allah commands the Messenger (s) to turn his face towards religion, said that this emphasis means that all attention and views should be directed towards religion which should be the center of all programs.
In another part of his recommendations, Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani pointed out that religion is at the head of all affairs and is prior to all matters and continued: “Islam is concerned with both the world and the hereafter, and this is the reason for the comprehensiveness of this enlightening religion.
By stating that Allah says in the continuation of this verse that the religion of Islam is the true religion, his Eminence clarified: “The true religion is a religion that tends to the truth and there is no falsehood or evil in it. Islam is according to human nature and nothing is closer to man than nature, and for this reason, Islam is the closest religion to the man.
He stated that the religion of Islam is full of light and expressed: “This light exists in different dimensions, including rulings, politics, economy, society, etc. Islam is the guardian religion. This guardian refers to custodian, which means a religion that can be the guardian of mankind must be true, close to nature and comprehensive.”
The head of the Jurisprudence Center of the Innocent Imams (a.s) considered the rule of the jurist leader as to be rule of religion and stated: “The enemy has made many attacks on the position of the jurist leader and unjustly claims that the jurist leader is a kind of dictatorship. While the jurist leader is responsible for practicing religion.
The prominent scholar of Kharej courses of Qom said that the condition of the religious government is the acceptance of the people. It is wrong to say today the hijab should be put in a referendum as some has proposed it. Is it possible to put religion in a referendum? Just as no jurist can make a change in prayer until the Day of Judgment because it is not possible to do Ijtihad in necessities; Hijab is like prayer.
In another part of his statements, Ayatollah Fazil Lankarani considered the emergence of religion as one of the blessings of the Islamic system and said: “This system has remained strong by the leaderships of Imam Khomeini (r) and the Supreme leader and the blood of martyrs.
His Eminence, referring to the high position of women in Islam, added: Woman has a high position in Islam, but today the enemies want to abandon the religion in the name of serving women. The enemies have targeted the principle of religion with the slogan of woman, life, freedom, and the issue of women and hijab is an excuse. This slogan originated from the military and espionage centers of enemies such as Israel, America and England.
Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani, in response to some of the contents raised in the virtual space, that the ruler is the advocate of the people and must act according to the wishes of the people, pointed out: “The jurist leader is not the advocate on behalf of the people; rather, he is obliged to act according to religion and divine orders.
At the end of this meeting, he advised that we should be alert to the Supreme Leader's warnings and remarked: “Students, seminarians and all sections of the people should pay attention to the Supreme Leader's orders and statements because practical and key issues are raised in his speeches, and as long as the whole society pays attention to it, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will continue the blessing of the revolution, and if we do not pay attention to it, Allah will take His blessing from us, and this is a divine tradition.”
