ABWA Official Website – The unveiling ceremony of the media product “Hadith-Graph of Faithful Life” in Swahili was held in the presence of Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, in the meeting hall of the assembly in Qom.
Mustafa Amini, editor of this media product, said, “During my almost two-year stay in Tanzania, I got to know some of the needs and opportunities of the region. Tanzania is a country with many different religions. On the other hand, the people of Tanzania pay attention and welcome the exhibitions that are held in the country’s cities on various occasions. Therefore, we decided to use the available opportunity to introduce the pure Islamic-Shiite teachings in the form of “Faithful Lifestyle” to become an example of the hadith of Imam Reza (a.s.) as said, “رَحِمَ اَللَّهُ عَبْداً أَحْيَا أَمْرَنَا قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي أَمْرَكُمْ قَالَ يَتَعَلَّمُ عُلُومَنَا وَ يُعَلِّمُهَا اَلنَّاسَ فَإِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ لَوْ عَلِمُوا مَحَاسِنَ كَلاَمِنَا لاَتَّبَعُونَا” (“May God have mercy on the servant who revives our command.” The Imam was asked: How will your command be revived? Imam replied: By learning our teachings and teaching them to others. Indeed, if people understand the beauty of our words, they will follow us.)”
“By the grace of God, we achieve this goal in the form of the “Hadith-Graph of Faithful Lifestyle,” Amini continued, “As the title of the collection suggests, in this work, we pay attention to how to interact with family members, neighbors, colleagues, friends, enemies, animals, nature, etc. in different environments from the perspective of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and his Immaculate and Infallibles AhlulBayt (a.s.). Because in today’s world, some have targeted the daily affairs of human life to divert humanity toward their carnal desires. What can provide the means of salvation and felicity in this world and the hereafter, is following the example of the life of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and AhlulBayt (a.s.).”
“To select the hadiths for this collection, we tried to match them with the experiences gained during the stay in the East African region. The East African region, especially Tanzania, has religious and sect diversity. the word “faith” is a common and widely used word among followers of different religions, we named this collection “Faithful Lifestyle” to make it more attractive to the audience,” Amini added.
“To create enthusiasm and motivation for more reference by the audience, we presented “Hadith-Graph” in the form of posters. We are also trying to display this work to the public in various centers and schools in the Swahili-speaking regions of East Africa through existing connections,” he stated.
“The media product Hadith-Graph of Faithful Life in Swahili has been placed in ABNA News Agency and those interested can download it. In the new management period of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the Swahili language has been given attention in ABNA News Agency. We hope that the continuation of this attention will provide more results,” Amini said in the end.
