Islamic Revolution bedrock for Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.): Ayatollah Ramazani
Pointing out that the Islamic Revolution of Iran seeks to pave the way for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Those who are really waiting for the Reappearance, apart from reciting the supplications Nudba and Al-Ahd, take practical action, as exemplified by Haj Qasem Soleimani.”
On the Thursday night, March 17, 2022, in the celebration ceremony of the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) in the Sahib al-Zaman (a.s.) Mosque in Astara, while congratulating the birth of that Imam, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “The birth anniversary oof Imam Mahdi (as.) is for celebration, joy, and also intellectual and spiritual connection with that dear Imam.”
“It is expected that on the birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the city will be decorated and illuminated,” the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “The celebration of the birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) should be celebrated in all cities of Iran, and on this day each person should do his best to beautify his house, alley, street and neighborhood.”
“With talented and capable youth, Astara is one of the important cities of Gilan and with proper planning, the capacities of this city should be used,” he said, referring to the capacities of the border city of Astar.
“Agriculture and customs are important sectors for the development and progress of Astara. To allocate funds, an expert study must be carried out in the capital of the province, and with careful study Astara’s capacities be flourished,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“The Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) is the ambition of all divine prophets,” the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “This is a divine promise that after the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), human society will enjoy justice.”
“Eventually, God will make the righteous inherits of the earth, and human society will benefit from the truth and essence of religion. In the era after Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), religion will be manifested,” he stressed.
“Religion is a comprehensive matter for the betterment of society. Some want to introduce religion as individual and empirical, and considered it to be the product of human illusions and imaginations. But religion truly addresses the real needs of man,” Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.
“The divine prophets did not come just to invite humanity to worship, but to introduce the true God to man,” stated the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“All the divine prophets and their books have been to make mankind to implement social justice. God commands society and human beings to do justice,” he added.
“The tradition of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) is the same as the tradition of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h). All aspects of religion, which is the law of life, must be considered,” Ayatollah Ramazani clarified.
“Separation of religion from politics is a theory of arrogance and colonialism. Today, even some Muslim intellectuals advocate the separation of religion from politics, which is wrong,” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“Imam Mahdi (a.s.) wants to establish a government based on justice, rationality, and spirituality,” he emphasized, “People of the world are dissatisfied with oppression, discrimination, injustice and so on. Justice consolidates society.”
Stating that people hope for a better future but are disappointed with the current state of the world, Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “The world could not serve man and human dignity as it should.”
“Imam Mahdi (a.s.) will come and fulfill the hope of humanity. He will suppress the oppressors and that will be the end of arrogance,” said the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, pointing out the requirements for the realization of human dignity in human society.
Stating that today those who awaiting should help Imam Mahdi (a.s.), and prepare the ground for his Reappearance, he added, “Some people argue that for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), no action should be taken so that oppression prevails the whole world! They believe that even the Islamic Revolution of Iran was wrong! This is a wrong argument. You have never been told to be silent. It is against human reason and conscience to see oppression and remain silent.”
“The Islamic Revolution of Iran seeks to provide the ground for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Young people should also seek to prepare the ground for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) by self-purification, building the society, reciting, thinking, and reasoning in the Quran,” Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.
Referring to the Jihad of Explanation in part of his speech, he said, “People complain about the abnormal state of the human world and the slogans of international organizations. In the case of the events in Ukraine, by publishing news and analysis, all the media outlets direct the issues as they want. But in the case of Saudi Arabia, 81 people, 41 of whom were Shiites and mostly young, are killed but face media censorship.”
“The media empire in the world does not allow the oppression of the world to be reported to humanity,” stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“The waiters of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) are not content with just praying, but together with the Islamic system they prepare the ground for reappearance by being present in the field of action,” he added.
Noting that the responsibility is the best opportunity to serve people, Ayatollah Ramazani considered it necessary to perform the duties correctly in any position and said, “If a person does the right thing, Imam Mahdi (as) will come to him.”
“Those who are really waiting for the Reappearance, apart from reciting the supplications Nudba and Al-Ahd, take practical action, as exemplified by Haj Qasem Soleimani,” emphasized the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“General Soleimani was an example of a real waiter,” he added, “Haj Qasem was exemplary in politeness, humbleness and command over hearts, and for this, he became the owner of a school.”
Pointing out that today the task is much heavier than in the past, Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized, “The greatest trust, the Islamic Revolution, has been entrusted to the youth. Young people need to prepare themselves for management in the international arena.”
“We must not allow the ominous Tel Aviv-Riyadh-Washington triangle to form. Today, thanks to Islam and the Islamic Revolution, 30,000 to 40,000 people gather in London and Copenhagen on Ashura Day. There are also more than 2,700 Islamic centers in Germany,” pointed out the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Today, Islam is facing arrogance, and the only power that can bring arrogance to its knees is the power of Islam,” he stated.
Referring to the need for unity and cohesion in the country and the provinces, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “The Friday prayer leader, the governor, the city council, etc. should all solve the problems of the province and the city together, far from the marginal discussions.”
“If the agricultural sector of the northern provinces is fully activated, we will not need to import rice, wheat, etc., and all the agricultural problems of the country will be solved” he said, referring to the capacities of Gilan province.
