Following the meeting with Iraqi personalities, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, met Sheikh Humam al-Hamoudi, Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
In the modernity age, we must provide a comprehensive, accurate, in-depth definition of Islam
Expressing satisfaction with the meeting with Sheikh Humam al-Hamoudi, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The great ulama have been members of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, and today it is necessary to strengthen this institution.”
“Religion has been entrusted to us, and it is important that we be able to manage the social, cultural, and political dimensions of religion in world developments,” he said.
“Not only in Europe they are trying to introduce the minimum of religion, but even in Pakistan, some scholars believe that some verses of the Holy Quran should be removed! Some even believe that the Qur’an is not a book of the law, but only preaching,” stated Ayatollah Ramazani referring to the fact that many intellectuals are trying to introduce the minimum of religion.
“Today, with international ideas and developments in the age of modernity based on liberalism, we must introduce all aspects of Islam. According to Imam Khomeini, we must introduce religion with the utmost vision and be present in the social and political arenas,” continued the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts, emphasizing that we must provide a comprehensive, accurate, and deep definition of Islam.
“We need to convey religious concepts to young people in an attractive way, and now is the best time to introduce the Islamic lifestyle,” he said.
“In Europe and America, there are more than 4,000 fake spiritualities, and some even introduce godless mysticism. At this point, the role of the ulama becomes very prominent. Religious scholars once answered the doubts of the future, and today is the time. Today in world management, scientific personalities such as the martyr Sayed Mohammad Baqwr Sadr could be influential,” he added.
In another part of his speech, introducing the different sections of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, Ayatollah Ramazani invited Sheikh Humam al-Hamoudi to attend the assembly.
Thanks to the Supreme Leader, Iran is influential in the world
Referring to the spread of Islam in the world, Sheikh Humam al-Hamoudi, Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq said, “Islam has become an international issue, and international issues are interrelated.”
“To counter the Shiite school, the enemies created ISIL, so that the Shiites and the Sunnis would fight each other. Of course, the people of the world distinguish between ISIL and Muslims, because they know that Islamic groups, such as Hezbollah, do not attack civilians,” added the Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
“Islam has spread to Europe, and the Muslim community in European countries is influencing the social situation of these countries. Enemies, on the other hand, offer European Islam, which is based on secularism,” stated Humam al-Hamoudi, considering Islam to be expanding.
“Iraq influences the issues of other countries. We must work for the unity of the Shiite communities,” he mentioned.
