AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Monday morning, July 15, 2024, during the mourning ceremony on Tasua Day of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah Ukhra (a.s.), Imam’s sister, in Rasht, Ayatollah Ramazani mentioned other parts of Ziyarat Ashura. “In some parts of this Ziyarat, we ask Allah to grant us sustenance, so that we can know Immaculate Imams (a.s.).”
Pointing out that “on the Day of Ashura, many atrocities were committed against the best people in the world,” the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “In Ziyarat Ashura, we ask God to give us success to take revenge for what happened to Imam Hussain (a.s.).”
“Oppression must be confronted, and Ziyarat Ashura educates people to be active and activist,” he added, “One of the rights of Immaculate Imams (a.s.) is education right, and the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the Infallibles (a.s.) are responsible for educating humanity.”
“Our religious rules are based on the AhlulBayt (a.s.) traditions. We are indebted to Imam Hussain (a.s.) because he educated us, and if it wasn’t for the Immaculate Imams (a.s.), we could not have acquired religious knowledge,” Ayatollah Ramazani added.
“The words of Immaculate Imams (a.s.) are free of any doubt, and it is important for us to understand these words well and implement them in our lives,” he mentioned.
“We cannot fulfill the right of Imam Hussain (a.s.) well, and everyone gets to know the Immaculate Imams (a.s.) according to his or her capacity and ability. Another right of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) is the right to reign,” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“In addition to the legislative Wilayah, Wilayah of Infallibles (a.s.) is also in the formative system. This means that they have Wilayah over heaven and hell, solids, humans, angels, etc.,” he continued.
“Immaculate Imams (a.s.) are crème de la crème of the world. Their worship, deeds, and morals are superior to the worship of humanity and jinn. Wilayah and Imamate are other rights of AhlulBayt (a.s.). They have the right of Wilayah over us, and whoever tastes the love for AhlulBayt (a.s.), does not even think about the love of others,” Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.
Further in his speech, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly considered Ramadan and Muharram as God’s feasts for His servants. “In these two blessed months, God Almighty has held blessed feasts for His servants and has granted them a unique opportunity for closeness and self-knowledge. In these two months, Almighty God holds special feasts for His servants. So that even the breathing of those who grieve for the oppression that the Immaculate Imams (a.s.) suffered from, is considered tasbih, and has the reward of worship.”
Referring to a hadith from the book “Kamil Al-Ziyarat”, Ayatollah Ramazani stated that the reward of presence in the city of Karbala on the day of Arafah is equivalent to a thousand Hajj and a thousand Umrah.
At the end of his speech, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts emphasized the need to become more familiar with mourning ceremonies for Infallibles (a.s.) and participation in them. “Participating in these ceremonies leads to forgiveness of sins and abundant rewards for humans.”
