Hojat al-Islam Allameh Raja Nasir Abbas Jafri, the Secretary-General of the Muslim Unity Assembly Party of Pakistan met Ayatollah Ramazani in the headquarter of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
In the meeting, describing Pakistan’s Shiites as having great potential, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani noted the need to design educational programs for different parts of society, including the elite, ulama, youth, and the general public.
While emphasizing the importance of research activities, he stressed the need for educational resources and programs to be developed according to the needs of the audience.
“Shiite thought believes in defending the oppressed in every spot of the world. Therefore, the issue of resistance in Islam must be well explained, and separated from the thought and behavior of extremist groups,” said the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, confirming the movement of the Muslim Unity Assembly Party on the path of proximity and unity (of Muslims) and considering it necessary to establish a union of Muslim scholars in Pakistan.
“There are about 400 verses in the Quran on the subject of jihad. This shows the importance of jihad in Islam. Islamic resistance is, in fact, the mercy of Islam,” he said, regarding the importance of jihad and resistance in Islam.
“It is necessary to use the enormous capacity of the Arbaeen March to introduce the Resistance and confront arrogance,” stated Ayatollah Ramazani, referring to the importance of the Arbaeen march.
Ruling thought in Pakistan Muslim Unity Assembly Party, thoughts of Imam Khomeini, Supreme Leader
In this meeting, Hojat al-Islam Raja Nasir Abbas Jafri stated, “During the life of Martyr Arif Hussain Hussaini, the movement of Pakistani Shiites was at its peak. But after his martyrdom, the Ulama changed and the scholars went to the margins. Therefore, with the establishment of the Muslim Unity Assembly Party, an attempt was made to keep the Ulama together.”
“The ruling ideology of the Pakistan Muslim Unity Assembly is the ideology of Imam Khomeini and the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Khamenei). One of our objectives is to help the oppressed, including Shiites and Sunnis, and even non-Muslims such as Sikhs and Christians,” he said, explaining the ruling principles and activities of the Muslim Unity Assembly Party of Pakistan.
“Our relations with the Sunni brothers are very good. Because one of our main ideals is the unity of Shiites and Sunnis,” Allameh Jafari added.
