AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, who visited Malawi at the invitation of Shiites and Muslims of the country, met with a group of Malawian Sunni figures.
In this meeting, while pointing out the commonalities between Muslims, Ayatollah Ramezani stated, “All Muslims are brothers. We are totally united in matters of monotheism, prophethood, and resurrection. We also have a lot in common in rules such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and jihad.”
Pointing out the behind-the-scenes plots of division between Islamic denominations, he said, “Global arrogance wants the Islamic countries to be separate, and as a result, these fifty-seven Islamic countries do not reach unity. With the unification of Islamic countries, the greatest economic and political power will be formed.”
“The enemy wants to incite the Islamic countries to enmity with each other. Therefore, we must be vigilant. We must have a lot of communication with the youth to make them aware of this plot. The enemy is afraid of our unity and cohesion,” continued the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Introducing Islam along with practical Sharia are among the duties of the ulama of Islam, and imams of Friday and congregation prayers,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “Some are looking for neutral Islam, and they intend to introduce Islam without Sharia, which is an empty version of Islam. The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “The time will come when only the name of Islam will remain, and only the writings of the Quran will remain.” That is, they overturn Islam, which is like a vessel full of water so that in the end there is nothing left of its teachings.”
Referring to the enemy’s plots toward Christianity, he stated, “All the enemy’s efforts are to implement the deviations inflicted in Christianity in Islam. For example, in Christianity, only faith and belief, and Sunday service in the church are enough. Also, its followers do everything that is contrary to their beliefs. Unfortunately, young Christians have distanced themselves from even praying in the church, and the church itself is trying to self-destruct by holding same-sex marriages.”
“Today, enemies are lurking to implement the Western schools’ model in Muslim schools. After 12 years of education, the result of such an educational system will be a secular generation. It is necessary and appropriate to take care of our children, adolescents, and the youth, who are the next generation,” continued the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
Emphasizing the necessity of knowing Islam and Islamic beliefs, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Try to know Islam correctly and introduce it to the youth. After knowing Islam and believing in Islamic principles, we must lead people to practice this religion in the context of their lives.”
At the end of his speech, referring to a hadith of Imam Hussain (a.s.), he said, “For some, religion is just a verbal thing. As long as the lives and property of these people are not harmed, they claim to be religious. But if they see some damage, they will separate their way from religion. We are living in the End of the Time era, in which being a believer is like holding fire in the hands.”
