Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The AhlulBayt (a.s.) school is beneficial not only for Shiites and Muslims but also for all those who thirst for justice all over the world. Therefore, the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) congratulated all the oppressed people of the world on the 15th of Sha’ban [birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)].”
ABWA Official Website – In a speech to a group of Najaf seminary professors and Iraqi religious and cultural figures, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly expressed, “The world schools have not been able to respond to the intellectual, ideological, and ethical needs of today’s society. While the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school can respond to these needs and quench the thirst of those who are thirsty for knowledge and spirituality.”
“Identity has no place in liberalism,” he added, “While today’s world is thirsty for ethics, spirituality, and justice, which the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school has.”
“The AhlulBayt (a.s.) school is beneficial not only for Shiites and Muslims but also for all those who thirst for justice all over the world. Therefore, the late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) congratulated all the oppressed people of the world on the 15th of Sha’ban [birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)],” noted the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Today, Islam has been revived in the social sphere. Islam is not only for individual worship, rather, it has individual and social dimensions. Today the power of Islam has been shown in the world and the [global] arrogance is afraid of this power,” he said.
While emphasizing the necessity of producing content in modern and international languages, and in line with the introduction of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school, he said, “Shiite seminaries in Qom, Najaf, Mashhad, and other cities can be actively present in this field. Also, the use of up-to-date means helps in this matter. If we pay attention to this area of activity, we will conquer the knowledge, ethics, and spirituality fields in the world. The pride of all Maraje' (Sources of Emulation) is to serve the AhlulBayt (a.s.) and promote their culture. We must take advantage of this golden opportunity in the best way.”
“The situation of the followers of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in different parts of the world, including Lebanon and some African and European countries, can never be compared to what it was forty years ago, and we are witnessing the all-round promotion of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school in today’s world. Today, thousands of religious institutions and centers are active in European countries, so that on the Day of Ashura, the name of Imam Hussain (a.s.) can be heard in different parts of Europe,” Ayatollah Ramazani added.
In another part of his speech, he mentioned some of the activities of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly as follows: Supporting missionaries in different parts of the world, establishing local assemblies in various countries, ABNA News Agency in 27 languages, Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) International University (a.s.) with students from 29 countries who study in 23 fields of study from bachelor’s degree to doctorate, translation of more than 2000 books in 58 languages; and WikiShia online encyclopedia in 22 languages to disseminate the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school.”
“Iraq has international and global capacity. The thousand-year seminary of Najaf, and the annual presence of tens of millions of pilgrims to visit the Holy Shrines, shows this great, important, and international capacity,” he said in the end, referring to the great and important capacity of Iraq in spreading the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings. /345/
