ABWA Official Website – On Wednesday, July 26, 2023, during a mourning ceremony in Mojdeh village, Kuchesfahan, Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “The activities of an Islamic scholar consist of three parts, which include having a correct explanation of Islam, answering questions, and answering doubts.”
“Today, the enemies of Islam raise many doubts about the Holy Quran, the Prophet (p.b.u.h), the Infallible Imams (a.s.), and the existence of the Imam of the Time (a.s.), all of which must be answered,” added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts
“Almighty God has entrusted his most important trust, that is, religion (Islam), to religious (Islamic) scholars (ulama), “Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized, “However, He Himself has taken responsibility for the formative and legislative guidance. After the prophets, the guidance of mankind has been entrusted to religious scholars.”
“Religious scholars need to benefit from two types of charisma,” he added, “First, it is scientific charisma so that they can learn and understand religious knowledge, and the second is spiritual charisma so that they can convey spirituality to religious people.
“People get their religion from religious experts. These experts, in turn, acquire knowledge in a comprehensive, detailed, and deep manner from the scholars,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Religious figures and leaders should show the world the correct image of Imam Hussain (a.s.). Also, the Ashura incident and all its dimensions should be introduced correctly and accurately.” noted the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“In addition to Muslims, all humanity should take Imam Hussain (a.s.) as their role model. Even those who are not followers of divine religions can benefit from Imam Hussain’s (a.s.) school,” he said.
A part of Ziyarat Ashura (A Ziyarat exclusive for Imam Hussain (a.s.) on the Day of Ashura) reads, “O Allah, make my life like the life of Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and his family, and my death like the death of Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and his family. Referring to this section, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Asking God to make our life like the life of AhlulBayt (a.s.) and our death like their death is a very big claim and request.”
“Without religion, man cannot achieve human life. By answering the call of God and His Prophet (p.b.u.h), we will reach a human life,” said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts at the end of his speech.
