On Thursday, February 3, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Union of Scholars of the AhlulBayt of Ighdir, led by Sheikh Zaki Tumai, met with Ayatollah Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Mashhad.
In this meeting, expressing satisfaction with the presence of the scholars of AhlulBayt Ighdir in the holy city of Mashhad and the pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.), Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized the issue of unity among Muslims and the Islamic world and noted, “Most of the victims of war in the world are Muslims, and this is due to the lack of unity. Therefore, we must take the issue of unity seriously and not allow the enemies to infiltrate the Islamic Ummah.”
“Regarding the beginning of the month of Ramadan, everyone should act in accordance with the jurisprudential opinion of his own source of emulation, like other jurisprudential issues, and this issue must be properly explained in the Shiite community,” said the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, regarding the concern of Ighdir scholars about the dispute with the Turkish Sunni community over the issue of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
“The scholars of Ighdir and other Shiite cities are always engaged in cultural jihad. Therefore, do not pay attention to the evils and work with tolerance with the Sunni and Alawite community,” Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out in the end, pointing to the importance of the cities of Ighdir and Qares regarding the growth and development of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school in Turkey.
It should be mentioned that in this meeting, the AhlulBayt scholars of Ighdir also spoke about their activities. Establishing a cordial and effective relationship with the university in the form of various conferences, establishing and strengthening relations with the Mufti and religious officials, the governor, etc. to strengthen unity and empathy were among the measures mentioned by Sheikh Zaki Tomai.
