The memorial service for Sheikh Abdullahi Nasser, a prominent Shiite scholar from Kenya, will be held on Sunday, January 16, 2022, in Qom.

A Belgian Shiite scholar and the accompanying delegation met with the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Qom.

The deceased was one of the main members of the General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and by writing numerous books during his blessed life, he played a lasting role in spreading the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) and educating many in Kenya and neighboring countries.

Sheikh Abdullahi Nasser, a prominent Kenyan Shiite cleric who played a key role in the spread of Shiism in Africa, passed away at the age of 90.

The representative of the Supreme Leader in Indonesia said, “Before the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Indonesian Muslims sought a theory to prove their legitimacy and realization of their right. Therefore, they resorted to Salafism and socialist schools. But after the Islamic Revolution of Iran led by Imam Khomeini, the tendency to Shia in Indonesia increased.”

The director of Nasim Rahmat Institute stated, “Changing the view of religion is the most strategic principle for propagating Islamic teachings. Therefore, we must seek a change in views on religion. This change should be greater in Latin America and where there are fewer Muslims.”

The head of Al-Huda International Publication said, “If the school of AhlulBayt (a.s.) is introduced correctly, its followers will increase day by day.”

Supreme Leader Representative in India said, “In Indian society, although religious sentiment is very high, religious knowledge is low. In many cases, there are even shortcomings in Shiite culture. To solve this, superstitions, inappropriate customs, and habits must be avoided, and Shiite culture must be properly defined.”
