AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The birth anniversary celebration of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was held by the Twelver Shiite Community of Tanzania, in collaboration with the Imam Sadiq (a.s.) seminary, in the Kigogo area of Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania.
The special guests of this ceremony, which was attended by Shiite and Sunni ulama from different provinces of Tanzania, were Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and Sheikh Ali Negroku, Grand Mufti of Tanzania.
In this celebration, the graduation ceremony of a group of clergies of Imam Sadiq (a.s.) Seminary of Tanzania was also held.
In a speech at this ceremony, referring to the outstanding characteristics of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), Ayatollah Ramezani said, “God sent the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) to all human societies. He is a mercy for the world. But recently, unfortunately, insulting the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the Holy Quran in some countries has wounded the hearts of all Muslims.”
“Insulting the Quran and the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) is an insult to spirituality, humanity, rationality, and justice. This insult is not only an insult to two billion Muslims and four billion followers of religions in the world, but it is an insult to the entire humanity,” he continued.
Also, addressing the clergy whose graduation ceremony was held, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said: Learn [knowledge] for God, teach [knowledge] for God, and practice [your knowledge] for God so that you will be remembered with greatness in the world of Malakut. To dear clergy, I should say that there is no graduation in learning religious knowledge. Rather, you only pass a stage of education, and the path of learning religious knowledge continues.”
