AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Following the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah in Beirut, a commemoration ceremony for the Lord of Resistance was held in the prayer hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, with the speech of Hojat al-Islam Mohsen Hassani Sa’adi, Director General of Security of the Assembly.
In this ceremony, with a view on the history of Islam, Hojat al-Islam Mohsen Hassani Sa’adi said, “Observing the historical development of Islam, we can see a range of vicissitudes. The red path of the growth of Islam and Shiism has always been irrigated and moved forward with these bloods. That is, Islam and Shiism have never developed through domination and force. Rather, it has developed with innocence and sacrifice of blood. The proof of the slogan that was given during the Islamic Revolution “Blood is victorious over the sword,” has been shown by Shiites throughout history, from the time of the Infallible Imams (a.s.), and before that, during the Holy Prophet’s (p.b.u.h) era. The important thing for us, who aspire to serve as humble soldiers in this great world, live a useful life, and play a part in this growing path of perfection and universality that leads to the Reappearance, is the need to have a macro analysis and insight into this issue as a whole, otherwise, we will be afflicted with undesired emotions.”
“Our path is clear,” he continued, “Following Wilayah is a stout pillar of Shiism. The enemy takes many measures using propaganda tools. In taking steps in a tactical direction, we should neither feel disappointed by taking a hit nor overjoyed by making a positive move. Otherwise, we should strengthen our trust in God. In any situation, if we rely solely on ourselves, we fail, and in any situation, it is trust in God that solves the problems. Without trusting God in life, we cannot live properly. We are in dire need of strengthening our trust in God. We also need to strengthen our adherence to Wilayah.”
Hassani Sa’adi, one of the directors of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, further added, “The Islamic Revolution of Iran was a historical miracle that the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) created with his worldview. With his Christ-like breath, the late Imam (r.a.) turned the youth into a group of mystics, whose actions were all in the way of pleasing God. During the imposed war (8-year Iraqi war imposed against Iran), our men were empty-handed, and if they wanted to think rationally, they should have refused the war! But because they had that will and vision, they were able to stand against Saddam’s Baathist army. In his message on the occasion of the United Nations Resolution 598, the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) wrote, “We exported our Revolution to the world in this war.” This message not only was not a sign of weakness, but it was also full of the late Imam’s rhetoric against global arrogance. In his message, he talked about the formation of a global mobilization (Basij), and now, we are witnessing the emergence of such borderless mobilization. If the Basij members (volunteer fighters) did not follow Wilayah during the (8-year) war, after the acceptance of UN Resolution 598 by the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.), they would refuse to accept it.”
Referring to the School of the Resistance, Hojjat al-Islam Mohsen Sa’adi said, “Supreme Leader of Revolution in his speech, did not only mention the personality of Martyr Soleimani and Martyr Hassan Nasrallah but also spoke about the school of these martyrs. Their path must continue, and with their testimony, this movement accelerates. The blood of these martyrs is blessed, just as their lives were blessed. If we have such a view, the result was the recent position of the Leader of the Revolution who said, “We mourn, but we do not sit afflicted. Our type of mourning is the type of mourning for Imam Hussain (a.s.), which has passion and movement.” Because the path is known.”
“Nothing has changed on the battlefield,” he continued, “Israel is still stuck in its self-built quagmire. Who would have believed that Israel would attack Gaza, and then not be able to confront the people who have been under siege for years? The Zionist regime attacked Gaza with the three goals of destroying Hamas, freeing Israeli prisoners, and ensuring Israel’s security, and thought that it would finish the job within one to two weeks. Within a year since the beginning of the regime’s attacks, it could not achieve any of these goals. Therefore, Israel has failed. On the Lebanese front, the regime wanted to make sure that the residents in the north of the occupied territories could return to their homes by the beginning of the school year. But not only the regime has failed to achieve this goal, but the scale of Hezbollah’s attacks has multiplied.”
“The enemy is not weak,” Hassani Sa’adi, one of the directors of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, further emphasized, “If we see that the enemy has not achieved its goals on the battlefield, it is due to the preparation of many measures and the round-the-clock work of people such as Martyr General Hajj Qassem Soleimani and Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, so that this front can have such a battle formation. According to the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.), “the school that has Imam Hussain (a.s.) has no failure; either it wins or reaches martyrdom that is itself a kind of triumph.” The martyrs’ blood bear fruit. Where were we and where are we now? Iran and Shiites are now influential throughout the region and the world.”
At the end of his speech, he said, “We need to know our place and fulfill our duty. We learned this lesson from the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.). Every victory we achieved was because of this thought. With such a view, it makes no sense to be frustrated. We saw that the Zionists were defeated in the IRGC missile attack. This operation showed that the Zionist regime is vulnerable. Yemen, despite being the poorest Arab country, has been fighting the Kufr front for years, attacking American ships. These actions are the result of the awakening that the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) brought about since 1963.”
