ABWA Official Website – On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, in a home mourning ceremony on the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Zahra (a.s.) in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “Lady Zahra (a.s.) was a comprehensive and perfect character in the Islamic Ummah.”
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Today, the issue of family is one of the most critical issues and the enemy is conspiring in this regard. An example of a strong family can be seen in the life of Lady Zahra (a.s.).”
Further, while pointing out the necessity of holding home mourning ceremonies for the AhlulBayt (a.s.), he added, “Home mourning ceremonies for AhlulBayt (a.s.) is very useful and effective in increasing knowledge about Islam.”
“The ceremonies for AhlulBayt (a.s.) insure our life and the society,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “Today, Islam is present in the social sphere, and we must fulfill our individual, social, cultural, and political duties.”
The representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts stated, “Today, the enemy has launched a propaganda war against the Islamic Republic and the people of Iran. For this Revolution, the purest lives were sacrificed. We are sure that the flag of this Revolution will hand over to the Imam Mahdi (a.s.).”
Advising that home mourning ceremonies for AhlulBayt (a.s.) should be held continuously with the presence of children and by inviting the clerics, he stated, “In these ceremonies, in addition to mourning for AhlulBayt (a.s.), issues related to family and ethical aspects should be expressed.”
“The traditional approach to religion should be changed and its comprehensiveness should be considered. Regarding family and life, there are two views, divine and material. With a divine view of life, even with shortcomings and lack of facilities, the most difficult problems can be solved, and one (a believer) can move forward,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“Our life is very different from the life of AhlulBayt (a.s.). Even in religious families, there are unfortunately some problems that are caused by misconceptions, and they need to be corrected,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“A strong family is a family in which tolerance and goodwill are the priority. In the family, it is very important to call for patience and control anger,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted.
“A house with tension and its members has no good relationship with each other is dark,” the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts emphasized, “One should prevent paving the way for violence in the family. Man and woman in a family need to avoid talking about issues that the other party is sensitive to. A successful family is one that balances expectations from each other.”
“In the family system, violence should be condemned, and family disputes should be forbidden,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
In the end, while pointing out that the system that has defended women’s rights the most is in the Quran, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “In the Quran, there are 300 verses about women, and the entire content of one Surah (chapter), and even the name of one chapter of the Holy Quran, is related to women.” /345/
