Iranian martyrs became models for the world: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Our martyrs had responsible spirituality and it had put them in the field of service so much so that today they have become role models for the world.”
On Thursday, December 23, 2021, members of the Heya’t of Gilani Warriors living in Qom met with the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the meeting hall of the Qom Assembly.
At the beginning of the meeting, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani appreciated the activities of the members of the Heya’t of Gilani Warriors in Qom in holding a memorial for the Gilani martyrs.
He said, “Thank you for your efforts, regarding your background, your valuable action in the field of jihad and martyrdom, and the initiative you have taken. I hope that more serious efforts will be made in this regard.”
Spirituality must be developed in society
Emphasizing the need to continue the work done, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “We need to expand spirituality in society because these days one of the important roles of these activities is spiritualism and the martyrs are our spiritual figures.”
“By spirituality, we mean responsible spirituality, not spirituality that avoids or opposes responsibility. In the West today, there are spiritualities that are empty of responsibility. Our martyrs had responsible spirituality and it had put them in the field of service so much so that today they have become role models for the world,” he stated, explaining the word spirituality.
“If you visit Lebanon, you will see people who look like the Iranian Mujahideen at the beginning of the Islamic Revolution. With firm conviction, they are fully prepared for the great movement and the world revolution. In Iran, we do not realize the greatness of the movement of our martyrs. Therefore, the desire for martyrdom is greater outside Iran than inside. They have learned from the courage, toughness and foresight of our martyrs,” added Ayatollah Ramazani, saying that the role model of Lebanese Hezbollah forces was the martyrs of Iran.
“History says that Mirza Kuchak Khan was a literate, understanding and very intelligent man. But some wanted to portray Mirza as a nationalist. However, he founded the Islamic Union in 1917. Seventeen clerics and several mujtahids joined the union. Mirza consulted with the Mujtahids. Mirza Kuchak Khan was a student of prominent professors who were very famous in Najaf” he stated in another part of his speech, referring to the holding of the conference “Study of the Anti-Arrogance Positions of the Clergy and the Islamic Resistance in the Jungle Movement” in Qom.
“The conference “Study of the Anti-Arrogance Positions of the Clergy and the Islamic Resistance in the Jungle Movement” was held internationally and was well received. Seven representatives of resistance movements and Islamic organizations addressed the meeting. The more we commemorate Mirza, the more we have raised the position of Gilan province in terms of Resistance. Honoring Mirza is honoring the struggles of the Gilanis in the field of resistance. Therefore, Mirza should be introduced in the field of resistance. Mirza’s camp was in the jungle with minimal facilities. By settling in the jungle, he had created fear in the hearts of the enemies,” continued the professor of the higher levels of the seminary of Qom.
The activities of the members of the Heya’t of Gilani Warriors in Qom are valuable
“Your activities are a model for others, and this is a golden opportunity that must be developed,” he added, describing the activities of the members of the Heya’t of Gilani Warriors in Qom as valuable.
“In matters related to the martyrs, take the issue of Resistance seriously and read more about it. It is necessary to introduce the Resistance Front of Martyrs in Gilan more prominently, with the presence of influential people in the field of Resistance,” said Ayatollah Ramazani, expressing some recommendations.
“Do research for the martyrs, and form a scientific committee, so that you can introduce the figure and martyrs of the Gilani Resistance. Because some of the martyrs had a commanding position on the fronts and were influential. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and emphasize the lofty and great goals of the martyrs,” he added.
“Gilan has a large capacity. I heard the Supreme Leader of the Revolution that said, “Gilan is one of the best provinces in the country, and this is according to studies and research”. Therefore, manpower and natural resources of Gilan province are great capacities,” stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts on the position of Gilan province.
“The old forces must connect and cooperate. Cooperation and empathy are capacity and blessing,” he also stated.
Criticism should be wise, realistic, and compassionate
“We can demand from the language of the martyrs. Demanding in various fields is a specialized thing and should be done professionally. Criticism and suggestion must be presented together, and criticism must be wise, realistic, and compassionate. Also, clergy martyrs are opportunity for clerics to make demands and seek to develop and strengthen the seminaries of Gilan. We need Mujahideen to fight in scientific fields,” added Ayatollah Ramazani, emphasizing the importance of demanding from provincial officials.
“In addition to using the capacities of Qom, the capacities of Tehran must also be used. Hundreds of Gilanis in Tehran are senior managers and should be consulted,” he said, referring to the need for consultation with Gilani elites living in Qom and Tehran.
While expressing his satisfaction with the activities of the Gilani Martyrs Commemoration Headquarters in Qom, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said at the end of his address to the audience, “The veterans must motivate the youth to jihad and martyrdom. It is very valuable that you have the motivation to spontaneously revive the values of the revolution and attending the ceremonies for the Martyrs is a great blessing for you.”
At the beginning of the meeting, Hojat al-Islam Abdorrahim Alizadeh, head of the Gilani Martyrs Commemoration Headquarters in Qom, presented a brief report on the activities of the headquarters.
Holding a memorial service for Gilani martyrs living in Qom in 2018 and 2019, identifying, caring for the families of Gilani martyrs living in Qom, meeting with Ulama, preparing brochures to introduce martyrs, cooperating with various institutions to hold martyrs’ memorials, introducing prominent martyrs and planning for holding larger commemorations were parts of the activities of the Gilani Martyrs Commemoration Headquarters in Qom, which was mentioned by Hojat al-Islam Alizadeh.
