ABWA Official Website – On Thursday, July 27, 2023, during the mourning ceremony of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in the holy shrine of Lady Fatimah Ukhra (a.s.) in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani said, “Man is obliged to take care of both the health of his soul and the health of his body. After finishing the mourning ceremonies, man should be diligent in fulfilling his duties towards God, AhlulBayt (a.s.), and people.”
The representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts stated, “Spiritual sustenance refreshes the human soul and brings human felicity. One of the spiritual sustenances of man is to take a stand against the enemies of AhlulBayt (a.s.). We must avenge the blood of AhlulBayt (a.s.), especially Imam Hussain (a.s.).”
“Mahmud status, mentioned in the Quran, is a degree of perfection that God has given to the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).” Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “Man should be the cause of his position, office, and responsibility, not to take the position from that responsibility.”
“Man should only seek to worship God. If a person deals with God, he will reach a high position in the life of this world and the hereafter,” he expressed.
“In the virtual space, some people raise doubts that ‘Imam Hussain (a.s.) was martyred 1400 years ago, but some still mourn for him today’. Mourning and weeping for Imam Hussain (a.s.) is due to the greatness of the matter for which Imam was martyred,” stated the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Some people raise that Islam promotes violence. In response, it should be said that Islam not only does not seek violence but is a religion that promotes mercy, justice, and love,” he said further in his speech.
