ABWA Official Website – Stating that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood broke the prestige of America, the member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasized, “This history-making event is the beginning of a new trend in the world, and it shows the superior and continuous power of Islamic resistance in the region, centered on the powerful Islamic Iran.”
Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, in the gathering of clerics and scholars of Arak in the seminary of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) of the city, said, “Islamic culture and science owe a lot to Arak region.”
Also, expressing his condolences on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), he said, “We still haven’t been able to explain well the role of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) in the history of Islam, and the protection of pure Islam.”
“Without the decisive and clear positions of Lady Zahra (a.s.), no trace of Islam would remain,” he added, “Undoubtedly, without Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), the issue of Imamate would have been forgotten forever.”
“The position of that Lady is central and the criterion for distinguishing between right and wrong; an issue that is clear in the words of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) such as: “Indeed, God becomes angry with your anger, and He is satisfied with your satisfaction”, and “Anyone who annoys her (Fatimah) is as if he has annoyed me, and whoever annoys me has indeed annoyed God”,” Ayatollah Araki continued.
He further drew the audience’s attention to Quranic verses 56 and 57 of Surah Al-Ahzab and said, “These two Quranic verses, which are together and complement each other, express the declaration of the guardianship of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and his family, and disavowal of their enemies.”
“Based on Arab customs, the enemies of AhlulBayt (a.s.) could not treat Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) the way they did to Imam Ali (a.s.). The policy of the usurpers of the Caliphate was to kill people who refused to pledge allegiance. They even killed important people like the chief of the Khazraj tribe and threatened Imam Ali (a.s.) with death,” noted the member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
Further, referring to the political conditions of the region, Ayatollah Araki said, “It should be acknowledged that the historic event of the Al-Aqsa flood disrupted the balance of power.”
Then, referring to the two types of identity of human society in the Holy Quran, he said, “These two are the identity of neglecting and remembrance of God, which are noted in verse 205 of Surah Al-A’raf.”
He considered the identity of neglect to be based on sensual pleasures, and in this regard, he drew attention to verse 179 of Surah Al-A’raf and verse 12 of Surah Muhammad. Explaining this matter, the professor of the higher levels of the seminary noted, “The American identity or the identity of neglect seeks to transform the human society into an animal society so that it can have its reins in order to achieve its goals. While the Islamic and Muhammadan identity, or the identity of remembrance, stands in front of the former.
“The United States has long sought world domination. To achieve this goal, it made Israel rule over our region. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was an anti-American flood that shattered the power of the United States and Israel,” he said.
“Killing women and children by Israel is not a sign of power. Rather, the arrest of dozens of Zionist commanders in pajamas is a sign of the strength of the Resistance front,” he continued.
“This history-making event is the beginning of a new trend in the world, and it shows the superior and continuous power of Islamic resistance in the region, centered on the powerful Islamic Iran.”
“The Al-Aqsa Flood Operation started a new and continuous trend in the world that will not be limited to one country. At the same time, this flood indicates the superior power of Islamic resistance in the region centered on the powerful Islamic Iran,” Ayatollah Araki pointed out at the end of his speech.
