Emphasizing the necessity of a realistic explanation of Islam and answers to questions and doubts, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Introduce Islam comprehensively, accurately, and deeply. The comprehensiveness of Islam should always be considered in the preaching fields.”
ABWA Official Website – In the last session of his Dars Kharij, while congratulating the auspicious birth anniversary of Imam Reza (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Everything that prevents a person from evil and invites him to good deeds is a sign of the perfection of intellect.”
Referring to the hadith of Imam Reza (a.s.) about the traits that are a sign of the perfect intellect, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “I a hadith, Imam Reza (a.s.) said, “The intellect of a Muslim is not perfect unless he has ten characteristics: 1. There is hope of good from him, 2. People feel safe from him, 3. He considers the little good deeds of others as a lot, 2. He considers his many good deeds as little, 5. No matter how much people ask of him, he doesn’t get discouraged, 6. He doesn’t get tired of seeking knowledge in your lifetime, 7. For him, poverty in the way of God is more beloved than wealth, 8. He considers being humble in the way of God as more beloved than being dear to the enemy of God, 9. He wants anonymity more than fame, 10. He doesn’t look at anyone unless says “He is better and more pious than me”.”
“Today, ulama and clerics have heavier responsibilities,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, “In the establishment of the government of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the role of the clergy has been prominent. Therefore, enemies try to expel the clergy from the stage with insults.”
“Enemies try to make youth skeptical of clerics. They don’t want people to learn Islamic teachings from seminaries. Until now, Islam has been propagated and expressed through seminaries, and it has been preserved in this way. Of course, the seminary has had damages and complications, which we must identify and try to fix,” continued the member of leadership experts.
“Make up for your backlog during seminary holidays. Increase your preparation for next year’s lessons and classes. Both teacher and student need to prepare themselves,” the professor of higher levels of seminary advised young students.
“If it is possible for you, be active in the propagation of Islam, establish face-to-face communication with young people, and participate in educational, recreational, and pilgrimage camps. These trips have many effects. Living, communicating, and talking closely with adolescents and young adults has important results,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
In another part of his speech, while advising his students to have good morals, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Sometimes the problems are so many that the effect is visible on the face. However, we should try not to see this effect on us. Consider the propagation of Islam as sustenance, which has been given to you by God Almighty.”
Emphasizing the importance of real enlightenment of Islam, and answering questions and doubts, the member of the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, “Introduce Islam comprehensively, accurately, and deeply. The comprehensiveness of Islam should always be considered in its propagation.”
“The superficial view of Islam and religiosity should be removed from society,” he emphasized, “We must introduce Islam in a deep and disciplined way. The strength that has given Islam the ability to stand against the opposition has been its introduction in various spheres, including the social sphere.”
“Enemies are trying hard to take our young generation from us. Some young people, unfortunately, have gone to immodest music, which is very worrying. It’s a shame we couldn’t do much in this regard. IRIB should make more efforts in this field and produce attractive works artistic works. A major part of IRIB programs should be produced especially for adolescents and young adults,” said the prominent seminary professor at the end of his speech.
