AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Sunday, December 17, 2023, at the commemoration ceremony of the martyrs of Khalkiasar village of Lanagrud in the Grand Mosque of the village, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “Currently, the relationship between the clergy and the younger generation is good, but it needs to be strengthened.”
Stating that Islam should be known correctly and then believed in, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “If Islam is not truly practiced in life, man will not reach felicity.”
Emphasizing that Lady Zahra (a.s.) is the best role model for everyone, he noted, “Lady Fatimah (a.s.) is a complete and comprehensive example of piety, asceticism, obedience to Velayat, and fighting against oppression for all of humanity.”
“Jihad is for the realization of justice and security. Divine prophets were sent (by God) to show the path to humans. If a person is on the path of darkness of the heart, he will be astray of the path of truth,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Martyrs learned the awakening and having a sane heart from Lady Zahra (a.s.). God has invited us to benefit from a sane heart,” he continued.
“Man needs to learn religious knowledge in depth and avoid going to excess. Man needs to learn Islam properly along with the Infallibles (a.s.),” added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
Noting that the wills of the martyrs are full of the knowledge of God, he said, “Our warriors had mystical worship. Martyrs always emphasized the support of the Imam’s successor.”
“The greatest divine test of Lady Zahra (a.s.) was supporting the friend of God - Imam Ali (a.s.) - and the martyrs learned the same from the Lady and supported the friend of God in their time,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted.
Stating that no prophet was persecuted like the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), and Lady Zahra (a.s.) was persecuted like her father, he stated, “Our martyrs learned the success in the great divine test from the school of Lady Fatimah (a.s.).”
Referring to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution’s letter to the youth of Europe and North America, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is the Muslim ibn Aqil of our time. People do not leave him alone, and in the world, people are also pledging allegiance to him.”
Emphasizing that practicing Islam in the social arena has a cost, he added, “Martyrs sacrificed their lives to fight against vulgarity and promiscuity, and to revive values such as hijab and chastity.”
Further in his speech, Ayatollah Ramazani added, “The greatest achievement of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, in addition to scientific and military achievements (so that it has turned Iran into a regional power and caused fear of global arrogance), is the manifestation of Islam in the social sphere.”
“The Islamic Revolution revived Islam and the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) introduced Islam to the world in a comprehensive manner,” he continued.
“Iranian women are zealous and always maintain their hijab and chastity,” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
Stating that the gatherings held to commemorate Imam Hussain (a.s.) should be accompanied by social change and reform, he emphasized, “We must learn from the martyrs and respect them.”
Referring to the suffering of the West from the crisis of not having an identity, Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “Educational packages in Western schools make people secular.”
It is worth mentioning that in the mentioned ceremony, the virtual pilgrimage system of the Martyrs Cemetery of Khalkiasar village, Langrud, was unveiled by Ayatollah Ramazani, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
