Ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.) educate people as anti-corruption and justice-seeking: Ayatollah Ramazani
Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The result of the Ziyarat Ashura and the gatherings related to Ashura prepares man to establish justice in human society. The ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.) educates people to be anti-corruption, justice-seeking and justice-oriented.”
On Friday morning, August 5, 2022, in the mourning ceremony of the seventh day of Muharram in the courtyard of the shrine of Lady Fatimah Okhra (a.s.), sister of Imam Reza (a.s.) in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “Throughout history, the blood revenge and revenge against oppressors, falsehood and infidelity front has been performed. As revenge for the blood of Imam Hussain (a.s.) has been mentioned, love and affection towards him is also obligatory for human felicity.”
“The enemies of religion want to remove God from human life. Human life without God has no meaning,” stated the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“If there were no religion and prophets, what would the reason argue about oppression in the society?” he asked, answering that, “The opinion of the theoretical reason about oppression is ugliness and viciousness. Human reason considers justice as good and injustice as ugly.”
“Regarding the prevalence of oppression in the society, besides considering it ugly, the practical reason emphasizes that one should stand against oppression and confront it at the appropriate time. Fitrah (human divine nature) also dictates that oppression must be confronted. But in this regard religion says that any confrontation should be for God’s pleasure,” Ayatollah Ramazani continued.
“If no one has anything to do with the prevalence of oppression in society, humanity will never reach felicity. The intellectual scholars of the world have considered various punishments for crimes such as murder, aggression, theft, etc. Because if aggression and theft are allowed in the society, security will be lost,” he added.
“Some people such as ISIS, claiming to believe in religion, familiarize children from birth with the word “killing”. In all parts of the world, trials and sentences have been determined for those who have committed crimes and are on the wrong path,” stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“Preventing oppression is a matter of rationality. Imperialism seeks to spread oppression and seeks to enslave humanity. However, the school of Ashura trains us to confront this approach,” he added.
“A person who hold an office, should be held accountable and they should have been questioned. No one has the right to take the nation’s money as a salary but procrastinate people’s affairs. If everyone who hold an office does his job correctly and completely, the country will be prosperous. Whoever delays people’s affairs is a criminal and must be held accountable,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Islam emphasizes that any jihad and confrontation against oppression should only be for God’s pleasure. Every activity that performed for God, will give meaning to life. Just as prayer and faith are for God, war and revenge for blood should also be for God,” stated the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The outcome of the Ziyarat Ashura and the ceremonies commemorating Ashura should be preparation for a great event, that is, the realization of justice in human society and the fight against corruption. Ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.) educate people to be anti-corruption, justice-seeking and justice-oriented,” he emphasized.
“Man should do his duty towards Imam Mahdi (a.s.), i.e., self-improvement, helping others to improve, and providing the ground for Reappearance. We must become righteous in the ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.). The closer we get to AhlulBayt, the more righteous we become,” Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.
“Parents should pray for their children. A righteous child in a family can make a change and be a remnant of righteousness for his parents,” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the assembly of leadership experts.
“By using our will, we should educate ourselves, our children and our grandchildren to be righteous,” stated Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
In the end, while emphasizing the importance of studying, learning and practicing the life lessons of Imam Hussain (a.s.), the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “All the lovers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) can be righteous.”
