“There has never been a time like the present to enlighten about the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings. The world has become interested in these teachings, and wherever the way was paved, the followers of all divine religions showed this love, interest and devotion towards AhlulBayt (a.s.). Perhaps, throughout the history of Muslims, such conditions have not existed to explain the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings,” he added.

In another part of his speech, while pointing out the importance of new technologies and messaging tools, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Things like satellite, computer, internet, cellphone, and social and virtual networks have brought changes in human society.

World Assembly during the presidency of Ayatollah Akhtari is the establishment of ABNA News Agency. The establishment of ABNA News Agency, like Thaqalayn TV and AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University, is very valuable and admirable. Mr. Hosseini Aref also played significant role in both the establishment and stabilization of ABNA and took a lot of efforts in this way.”

“With detailed and comprehensive expert studies, we conclude that we should use the capabilities of Mr. Hosseini Aref in the Assembly,” he emphasized.

“Expectations and demands from ABNA News Agency are at the international level,” Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “Every manager in a position must be up to date, which requires communication with experts in the relevant field.

“The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly is the connecting link between Wilayat and sources of emulation with the followers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) in the world,” he added, “This role should also be prominent in ABNA news agency. Of course, ABNA has performed well in these fields. But there is a need to become more active and to be connected with the offices of the sources of emulation. ABNA should become a media reference for religious media related to AhlulBayt (a.s.). Indeed, ABNA has this ability, and it can become the eloquent language of AhlulBayt (a.s.) followers in the world.”

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Hassan Sadraei Aref

Considering the importance and prominent role of ABNA News Agency in publishing the news and events of the Islamic world, especially the news of the followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) in all corners of the world – who are in minority and oppressed in terms of news coverage – and considering your knowledge, commitment, and valuable experiences, hereby, I appoint you as the CEO of AhlulBayt (a.s.) News Agency – ABNA.

Taking to account the “increasing importance and sensitivity of propagation, media and cyberspace”, you are expected to take steps to transform this news agency into an “efficient and up-to-date media reference for recognizing, explaining, promoting and publishing the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings” by using the material, spiritual and human resources of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) enthusiasts all over the world, especially by employing expert and young staff, and utilizing new media methods. You are also expected to move in the direction of increasing media production in the level of subject policies of the Assembly, as well as clarifying the position of Wilayat, and propagating the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings in order to reach the new Islamic civilization, to elevate the thought and insight of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) followers.

It is hoped that by observing divine piety and a jihadi (volunteer) and transformation seeking management approach, by utilizing all capacities, and considering the high values of Islam and the school of AhlulBayt (a.s.), this news agency will reach its true position in the light of the attention of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), and become an honest and comprehensive news source for the AhlulBayt (a.s.) followers.

I pray to Almighty God for your increasing success.
