Iran's Grand Shia Cleric Urges Pakistani Leaders to 'Wake Up And Fight Against Injustice

AhlulBayt News Agency - In a meeting with officials from Qom’s Wisdom of Mustafa Institution, Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri-Hamadani said that after announcing his Prophethood, the Prophet Muhammad established an Islamic community that became powerful. “The first principles that the Prophet brought as gifts for the believers was faith in Islamic values,” he said.

The revered source of emulation added: “The second principle is dignity and unity and the Prophet emphasized on the unity of Muslims and considered it an important step for success.”

He said the third principle is jihad and explained that all Muslims must be ready to fight against the enemies. He added that another principle is understanding the enemies of Islam and added that from the beginning of Islamic history, the enemies, including the hypocrites and disbelievers and now, Israel, have been against Islam and its growth.

Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani stressed that the Holy Quran has emphasized that these groups should not be trusted but unfortunately, the Muslim community acts contrary to instructions of the Quran and instead of uniting Muslims, they unite with the enemies of Islam.

His Eminence said that Pakistan is an example of one of those countries which has allied with the enemies of Islam. “We are very sorry that the United States attacks Pakistan and we also regret that the Wahhabis have such influence there,” he said.

The Iranian scholar said that Iran’s Islamic Revolution was the cause of the Islamic Awakening and the formed the fight against injustice, and added: “The most important message of the Islamic Revolution to the people of Pakistan is that the revolution says ‘no’ to all oppressors and broke the might of the two superpowers.”

He stated: “We would like that the Pakistani people, scholars and intellectuals stand up and fight against injustice, just as the Iranian people do.”

Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani said Pakistani leaders must wake up and fight against injustice, stressing that if there is no harmony in Pakistan, the enemies’ interference will only increase in the country.

The source of emulation stated: “If all Muslims were united, they would no longer provide a battlefield for the US, Israel and the Wahhabis.”

He added if Iran has power now, it is due to its culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice and there is no way to deal with the enemies, except through this culture.
