AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Saturday, September 28, 2023, Hojat al-Islam Sayed Masoud Pour Sayed Aghaei, President of Ayande Roshan (Bright Future) Institute, together with a group of professors and managers of the Institute, met with Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
In this meeting, while appreciating this institution’s activities, and emphasizing the mutual activities of the two parties, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University, with students from 33 countries, WikiShia active in 22 languages, and the Education Department of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly have significant capacity in spreading the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings in the international arena. Also, ABNA International News Agency, operating in 28 languages, and the Al-Thaqalayn satellite channel, are among the other capacities of AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the field of media, which can produce and publish religious and Mahdavi teachings for international audiences.”
“It is necessary to pay attention to the issues related to Mahdism and its spread to the world people,” he said, “The world is changing completely, from cultural to social, and political aspects. The domination system was trying to dictate the unipolar world. But the Resistance Front defied it and succeeded in this way. Today, there is no longer a confrontation between the East and the West Blocs, but there is a confrontation between Islam and disbelief.”
The world is longing for social justice
Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “The world people are longing for social justice. According to the Quranic verses, seeking justice was the goal of all divine prophets. Also, according to the Quranic verses, to realize such a thing will face hardships and problems. The late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) based on Quranic verses said, “We are called on to two uprisings: an individual uprising to achieve Tawhid (monotheism), and a social uprising to achieve justice”.”
“Considering the new technologies, including artificial intelligence, is essential. Artificial intelligence is influential in all cultural and social developments in the world. Therefore, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution also emphasized using this technology. To be pioneers in all developments and events, we must pay attention to this field and other modern technologies,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
Emphasizing the importance of providing a correct interpretation of the resistance’s thoughts to the international audience, he said, “Resistance is not for conquest or domination. Rather, it intends to provide a platform for justice, and as a result, the spread of divine mercy. Divine mercy is emphasized in Quranic verses and the way to reach it is confronting tyrants. The Resistance Front is confronting weeds of the region, but, unfortunately, we couldn’t introduce it properly.”
“For example, the word “Jihad”, due to the lack of a correct definition of it to the international audience, brings the meaning of “violence” to the minds of the Western audience and is considered an unholy matter. This change in concept also brings a change in value. In the West, the place of good deed and wrong has also changed. Some seek to eliminate Sharia in a liberal version of Islam and provide an alternative,” continued the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
The AhlulBayt (a.s.) lifestyle, software of the Islamic civilization
Ayatollah Ramazani considered the teachings of the AhlulBayt
(a.s.) school to be timeless and introduced the two important elements of
reason and Fitrah (human divine nature) as its basis.
“The AhlulBayt (a.s.) lifestyle is the software of the Islamic civilization,” he said, “In this regard, Imam Ali (a.s.) said: “Anyone who does not refine his soul has no benefit of wisdom.” According to reason, man should refine himself.”
