ABWA Official Website – On Thursday morning, March 9, 2023, in a gathering which was held on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) for the official and duty staff of the Imam Muhammad Baqer (a.s.) maritime training center in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “We must live with Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and gain Ma’arifa, knowledge and obedience to him.”
“The more we know about Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the more our devotion to him will be,” the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “We must be steadfast in our love for Imam Mahdi (a.s.).”
“We must test ourselves today whether we can hear the Marjaiat or not. If we can, we will be able to tolerate Imam Mahdi (a.s.) after his Reappearance,” Ayatollah Ramazani continued.
“Today, the conditions for Ma’arifa in the world are available and it is very different from what it was in the past. Helping Imam Mahdi (a.s.) means helping the Marjaiat and Vali-e Faqih,” he added.
Emphasizing that the secret of human creation lies in man himself, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts noted, “Unfortunately, today some people are sulking with God, people, and themselves. They must reconcile with God and people.”
“One of the tendencies placed in man (by God) is the desire to worship. Prophets were sent (by God) to introduce the true God to the people,” he expressed.
“Many quarrels, accidents, and conflicts are because people do not have peace. The most important knowledge is man’s knowledge of himself, and the greatest ignorance is man’s ignorance of himself,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“On the Day of Resurrection, man is the guest of his actions, beliefs, and faith. Man can create all the good attributes in himself, such as bravery and forgiveness,” he noted.
“Man should use his power in worshiping God and serving mankind. Power should be used to acquire virtue and getting rid of vices,” stated the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“We must practice to please people well and to serve God well. God’s prophets invited humanity to morality to move toward eternity,” he said at the end of his speech. /345/
