Spirituality in the true sense of the word will be revealed in the rule of Imam Mahdi (a.s.): Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Knowledge, thought, spirituality and the realization of spirituality will be revealed in the true sense of the word in the rule of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).”
On Saturday, December 25, 2021, the official and faculty members of Ayandeh Roshan Institute (Bright Future Institute) met with the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the meeting hall of the Assembly.
In this meeting, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “Raising discussions related to Mahdism is a software for preparing Islamic civilization. The most comprehensive and complete period of life will be realized in the age of Reappearance.”
Imam Mahdi (a.s.) will free the world from threats, dictatorship, oppression, and arrogance
“Knowledge, thought, spirituality and the realization of spirituality will be revealed in the true sense of the word in the rule of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Until then, all governments will be tested, and humanity, both Muslim and non-Muslim, will reach a stage where they will seek a savior. Although not everyone knows the savior by the name of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the last successor of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) who, according to the hadiths, will free the world from threats, tyranny, oppression, and arrogance,” he also said.
“According to the hadith “His sirah (tradition or way of live) is my sirah” quoted from the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), we should try to introduce the life of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Because the introduction of Islam on the basis of mercy and resistance is following the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h),” added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, referring to the need to introduce the tradition of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).
“According to Quranic verses and hadiths, jihad is mentioned not only in Islam but also in other Abrahamic religions. The prophets Moses (p.b.u.h) and Solomon (p.b.u.h) had the conditions for jihad, while for some other prophets, such as the Prophet Jesus (p.b.u.h), there were no conditions for jihad. Islam and its management have been based on mercy and there are many Quranic verses and hadiths in this regard. However, some intellectuals have highlighted the mercy aspect of Islam and claim that there is no jihad in the religion. They even say that the verses of jihad should be removed from the Quran!” he said, regarding the concept of jihad in Islam.
The addressees of Quran are reason and Fitrah and this fact is not limited to the past, present, and future
“In a 15-year project in Berlin, an institute seeks to prove that the Quran is not the book of human and law; some parts of it includes sermons but the addressees of the Quran and the Prophet were Arabic; therefore, the Quran cannot be a standard for the whole of humanity. There, I answered that the addressees of Quran are reason and Fitrah and this fact is not limited to the past, present, and future. Therefore, the manners of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) were the manners of mercy, but there was also emphasis on resistance along with it,” The professor of higher levels of the seminary of Qom added.
“In Vienna, at a meeting entitled ‘The End Time from Shiite and Catholic Perspective’, a Shiite speaker said, ‘At the time of the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), two thirds of the people will be killed due to war and bloodshed’. This statement is basically incorrect and saying this kind of statement causes panic. The narrations claiming that two thirds of the people will be killed at the time of the Reappearance have been narrated from Ali ibn Hamza Bataini and are not valid,” he stated, regarding the wrong introduction of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).
“Introducing Imam Mahdi (a.s.) as a belligerent person or considering the time of Reappearance as a time full of war and bloodshed, is in conflict with the spirit of Islam and the manners of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). It would be good if an international seminar on “Mercy and Resistance in the Life of Hazrat Mahdi (p.b.u.h)” could be held internationally with the participation of representatives of other religions. Because Jews and Christians also have a lot to say about the apocalypse,” emphasized the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The Westerners have attributed power-seeking, war-mongering and some unjust attributes to the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h), and unfortunately they do not know about his faithful life, marriages and jihads,” he said, referring to the need to review and redefine the narratives about End Time, war, and bloodshed.
Emphasize the spirituality in the rule of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)
“Today, three to four thousand fake spiritual cults have been created in Europe and America. The existence of spirituality in the rule of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) as well as the movement of humanity towards monotheism in the End Time must be emphasized. Because today people are tired of vulgarity under liberalism,” said Ayatollah Ramazani, stating that human society is thirsty for pure Islamic knowledge.
“We had a meeting with the Vatican Council in France and the Secretary of the Protestant Council in Geneva. They are eager to know about Islamic teachings. Films are being made in Hollywood today about the concepts of resistance, the End Time, and Mahdaviat. Because these concepts have been properly introduced to the world thanks to the Islamic Revolution,” he added, referring to his recent visits to Europe.
“Many who live in the West are unable ignorant, not guilty. Because the media giants of Zionism do not allow pure Islam to reach the world,” emphasized the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
Self-improvement, grounding, and helping others to change are important topics in the international arena
Introducing the issues of self-improvement, groundbreaking and helping others to change in the international arena as important topics for Awaiting concept, he added, “We must take steps to create a wave in the world to prepare for Reappearance. Unfortunately, international efforts to pave the way for Reappearance are weak, and in some areas do not even exist. We should make more efforts to introduce Imam Mahdi (a.s.) in the world, especially through the cyberspace. Covid-19 did a lot of damage and took the elite forces and some of the elders away from us, yet it created a great opportunity to work in cyberspace. It is necessary to shift to cyberspace. Today the best time and space have been prepared for the international activity. Because with traditional preaching ceremonies, we have a limited audience, but in virtual sermons, thousands of people can benefit the ceremony.”
“I have read some articles published by your institute and I think it is appropriate to translate these articles into different languages,” stated the professor of higher levels of the seminary of Qom, describing the scientific and field activities of the Bright Future Institute as valuable.
“There are fields of cooperation between your institution and the Department of Scientific and Cultural Affairs, and the Department of International Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly. As much as possible, joint work can be done in holding webinars and collaborating with international figures. Researchers at the Bright Future Institute can also link to the Wiki Shia encyclopedia and contribute to the creation and completion of some article entries. On the other hand, on the Thaqalayn satellite TV, which has about eighteen million viewers, experts from the Bright Future Institute can explain the Mahdaviat concept in Arabic,” he said, regarding the areas of cooperation between the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly and the Bright Future Institute.
At the beginning of the meeting, Hojat al-Islam Sayed Massoud Pur Syed Aqaei, the head of Bright Future Institute, presented a report on the activities of his respective institute. He also spoke about the capacity for cooperation with the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly and called for the development of cooperation between the two institutions.
