Ashura fervor must be accompanied by Ashura thought: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Ashura fervor must be accompanied by Ashura thought. If fervor follows rationality, it will last, so that it can build society and stand against oppression.”
ABWA Official Website – On Wednesday morning, July 19, 2023, during the mourning ceremony on the first day of Muharram at the holy shrine of Lady Fatimah Ukhra (Imam Reza’s (a.s.) sister) in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “Ziyarat Jami'ah Kabirah has introduced AhlulBayt (a.s.) in the best way. We need to know the true and legal position of the Immaculate Imams (a.s.). Such knowledge affects our behavior and actions.”
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “Those who have the success of serving God owe it to Imam Hussain (a.s.). If it wasn’t for Imam Hussain (a.s.), many people would not be on the path of serving God. Imam Hussain’s (a.s.) great uprising preserved Islam.”
“One of the connotations of Aba Abdillah (the father of the servant of God’s), the teknonym of Imam Hussain (a.s.), is a sign of worshiping God, and Imam Hussain (a.s.) is the embodiment of servitude of God,” Ayatollah Ramazani expressed.
“The complete servitude of God can be seen in the incident of Karbala. If God wants to introduce a perfect and sincere servant in all respects, to the whole existence, He will name Imam Hussain (a.s.),” he continued.
Referring to the role of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) in the Ashura incident, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Loneliness is one of the characteristics of the Ashura movement.”
“To analyze the event of Ashura, we must thoroughly study the Ziyarat Ashura,” he added, “In the Ziyarat Ashura, positions such as revenge, prestige, companionship, martyrdom, life, being praised, disavowal (of Imam Hussain’s (a.s.) enemies), resistance, and sacrifice are emphasized.”
“Crying for Imam Hussain (a.s.) should be effective in the perspective, education, upbringing, and reform of the society,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted.
“Our consciousness should originate from Ashura. Hey’ats must pay attention to the places in Ashura to be at the level of Ashura,” he emphasized.
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Ashura fervor must be accompanied by Ashura thought. If fervor follows rationality, it will last, so that it can build society and stand against oppression.”
“In Majlis (mourning ceremonies for AhlulBayt (a.s.)), we should be trained in such a way that we prioritize Imam Hussain (a.s.) to our thoughts, generation, and thoughts. We should make our behavior and morals like Imam Hussain’s (a.s.). Trying to be like the Imam and AhlulBayt (a.s.) has a great impact on human life,” he said.
