Introducing great Islamic figures essential: Ayatollah Sobhani

On Friday, November 5, 2021, in a meeting with the organizers of the International Conference of Hazrat Hamza, Grand Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani, a Shiite Source of Emulation, said, “It is essential to introduce the great and influential figures of the beginning of Islam to today’s generation, and the initiative of Al-Mustafa International University in introducing these figures is very valuable.”

Referring to the importance of the issue, and the special place of Hazrat Hamza in the beginning of Islam, he added, “Al-Mustafa International University’s initiative in holding this conference, and addressing the personality dimensions of Hazrat Hamza, is a valuable, useful and effective step.”

Referring to the foster brotherhood of Hazrat Hamza with the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), as well as the great interest of Imam Ali (a.s.) and the Bani Hashem towards Hamza, the Marja added, “The interest and devotion of the Bani Hashem is the result of Hamza’s courage, bravery and defense of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h). So that even the dear daughter of the Prophet, namely Lady Fatimah (a.s.), went to visit the grave of Hamza every Thursday, and sought blessing by it. This shows the greatness and nobility of the respected uncle of the Prophet.”

“Hazrat Hamza was a thorn in his enemies’ sides, so much so that when Uthman came to power, Abu Sufyan came to Hamza’s grave and insulted and desecrated it. This shows the greatness of Hazrat Hamza that years after the battle of Uhud, the enemy reacts to him in this way,” Ayatollah Sobhani stated, referring to the Umayyads’ hostility towards Hamza.

While wishing success and good luck for the organizers of this international conference and referring to the publication of the collection of works of the conference of Lady Khadijah (a.s.), he described this action as very valuable and impressive, and emphasized on introducing more great Islamic figures.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hojat al-Islam Nasser Rafiei, the scientific secretary of the conference, and the head of the Higher Education Complex for Islamic History, Tradition and Civilization, presented a report on the measures taken to hold the conference in a glorious manner.

Saying that this educational complex was in charge of holding the conference of Lady Khadija (a.s.) in previous years, a member of the faculty of Al-Mustafa International University said, “One of the tangible achievements of the conference of Lady Khadija (a.s.) was the publication of an 8-volume collection about the characteristics of this honorable lady of Islam.”

“With the grace of God, this conference about Hazrat Hamza (a.s.) will be held in February 2022 with the initiative of Al-Mustafa (p.b.u.h) International University, in cooperation with 16 scientific centers,” he added, referring to the abandonment of the two noble uncles of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) namely Hazrat Hamza and Hazrat Abu Talib.

Referring to the submission of valuable articles by researchers and scholars, the scientific secretary of the conference of Hazrat Hamza expressed the hope that these articles will be published in the form of 3-4 volumes.

It is worth mentioning that International Scientific Conference of Hazrat Hamza will be held on February 5, 2022, under the management and hosting of the Higher Education Complex of Islamic History, Tradition and Civilization, affiliated to Al-Mustafa (p.b.u.h) International University.

It should be noted that the meeting was also attended by Hojat al-Islam Majid Ebadi, deputy for research affairs of the Al-Mustafa International University, and Hojat al-Islam Sayed Mojtaba Osia, deputy for research affairs of the Higher Education Complex of Islamic History, Tradition and Civilization, and Executive Secretary of the International Conference of Hazrat Hamza.
