AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Tuesday, September 24, on the occasion of the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and Imam Sadiq (a.s.), a celebration was held in the Prayer Hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, with the presence of Ayatollah Ramazani, Secretary General of the Assembly.
In this ceremony, congratulating the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal, and the birth of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and Imam Sadiq (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “In the description of the management approach of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) in the Holy Quran, the first point mentioned is that he had adjusted his management according to divine mercy; the issue that led to the growth of Islam.”
“The Prophet (p.b.u.h) did not come to threaten people but he came to assist them, and what caused the spread of Islam was his conduct,” he added.
“Before his prophethood, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was known as Muhammad the Trustworthy, and among his tribe, the Quraysh, he was known as a moral and well-mannered figure. During his prophethood also, his concern was always to guide the people. The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was eager to guide and support the people and the needy. Some are eager for material things and sins. The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was kind to the believers. In a hadith, he said: “I was sent (by God) for mercy.” Such things led to the growth of Islam,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“If there were no obstacles, today Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) would certainly be presented differently in the world. Although today, Islam is universal, and there are about two billion Muslims in the world,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The Holy Quran has introduced Prophet Abraham (a.s.) and Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) as role models. In the valuable book “Sunan al-Nabi” (Prophet’s (p.b.u.h) Traditions), by Allameh Tabatabai, about 800 hadiths related to the Prophet’s (p.b.u.h) life are mentioned,” he said.
“To deny the divine knowledge of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), some are trying to identify a teacher for him in any way possible. But the knowledge of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) was divine, which the Almighty God granted to him, the Imam, the guardians, and the believers – to the extent of their faith,” said Ayatollah Ramazani, member of the Council of Leadership Experts.
“The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was the humblest person. There is no higher man than him. He was humble towards people. Arrogance is the worst thing that makes a person low, mean and humiliated,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“A believer should be decent in his human relations and dealings. The Prophet warned about indecency. A Muslim should be dignified and serious and not talk nonsense. Sometimes silence can cure many things. No one becomes popular and well-known by talking. Silence keeps the devil away,” expressed the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Slandering, making hasty judgments, looking for other people’s faults and recounting it, are against the Prophet’s (p.b.u.h) tradition. Sometimes there is no charity above the truth. In this regard, the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Speak the truth, even if it is against you and is bitter”,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
At the end of his speech, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Everything that is on the path of truth is a matter of Fitrah. According to the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), a tyrant is someone who disobeys his superior, bullies his inferior, is hostile to the truth, and commits oppression openly.”
