Genocide in Gaza originated from Kabbalah teachings of Torah
Hojat al-Islam Mirzaei, referring to the conflict between Christians and Jews until the eleventh century, said, “Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah was invented for Jewish infiltration into Christian society, to resolve the conflict between the two peoples. This mysticism is in blatant contradiction with monotheistic teachings.”
ABWA Official Website – On Wednesday, November 29, 2023, the scientific session “Zionism and Bible Teachings” was held in the meeting hall of ABNA International News Agency with the presence and speeches of Hojat al-Islam Mahdi Mansourikhah, the president of Hatef Sharq International Institute, and Hojat al-Islam Mahdi Mirzaei, director of the Department of Jewish Mysticism and Satanism of the Spiritual Health Institute.
In this meeting, Hojat al-Islam Mansourikhah stated, “On the second day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, the rabbis issued a ruling according to which all moral boundaries could be crossed for the crimes of the Zionist regime, and committing anything was permissible. In this regard, the Israeli war minister stated, “We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly!” In the history of the Israelites, there are many cases of activities of these people against others, including food and water embargo, assassination, torture, burning, mutilation, etc.”
Explaining the reasons for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza, Mansourikhah stated, “Three main reasons for Israel’s atrocities can be listed: As a definite principle, Jews believe that they are God’s chosen people; They do not consider the people of Canaan (present-day Palestine) to be human; The Israelites consider themselves the oppressed people of history, therefore, they consider themselves rightful.”
Further in this scientific session, Hojat al-Islam Mahdi Mirzaei on the conflict between Christians and Jews until the 11th century stated, “Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah was invented for Jewish infiltration into Christian society, to resolve the conflict between the two peoples. This mysticism is in blatant contradiction with monotheistic teachings and emphasizes things like magic and sorcery, communication with demons, and Satanism. Among the other teachings of Kabbalah are the humanism of God, evilism, God’s dissolution in bodies, escape from and fighting Sharia, and corruption and promiscuity.”
“The spark of the crusades against the Muslims was the Kabbalah thought, which was imposed by the Kabalists on the rulers and the Christian society,” Hojat al-Islam Mahdi Mirzaei said, “Throughout history, Jews have always used proxy warfare tactics against Muslims in such a way that 83 wars, including Khandaq (Battle of the Trench) and Badr, were pre-planned against the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).”

Al-Aqsa Flood Op, anti-American, initiator of superior, continuous power of Islamic resistance: Ayatollah Araki
A member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, was an anti-American flood that shattered the power of the United States and Israel.”
ABWA Official Website – Stating that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood broke the prestige of America, the member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasized, “This history-making event is the beginning of a new trend in the world, and it shows the superior and continuous power of Islamic resistance in the region, centered on the powerful Islamic Iran.”
Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, in the gathering of clerics and scholars of Arak in the seminary of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) of the city, said, “Islamic culture and science owe a lot to Arak region.”
Also, expressing his condolences on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), he said, “We still haven’t been able to explain well the role of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) in the history of Islam, and the protection of pure Islam.”
“Without the decisive and clear positions of Lady Zahra (a.s.), no trace of Islam would remain,” he added, “Undoubtedly, without Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), the issue of Imamate would have been forgotten forever.”
“The position of that Lady is central and the criterion for distinguishing between right and wrong; an issue that is clear in the words of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) such as: “Indeed, God becomes angry with your anger, and He is satisfied with your satisfaction”, and “Anyone who annoys her (Fatimah) is as if he has annoyed me, and whoever annoys me has indeed annoyed God”,” Ayatollah Araki continued.
He further drew the audience’s attention to Quranic verses 56 and 57 of Surah Al-Ahzab and said, “These two Quranic verses, which are together and complement each other, express the declaration of the guardianship of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and his family, and disavowal of their enemies.”
“Based on Arab customs, the enemies of AhlulBayt (a.s.) could not treat Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) the way they did to Imam Ali (a.s.). The policy of the usurpers of the Caliphate was to kill people who refused to pledge allegiance. They even killed important people like the chief of the Khazraj tribe and threatened Imam Ali (a.s.) with death,” noted the member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
Further, referring to the political conditions of the region, Ayatollah Araki said, “It should be acknowledged that the historic event of the Al-Aqsa flood disrupted the balance of power.”
Then, referring to the two types of identity of human society in the Holy Quran, he said, “These two are the identity of neglecting and remembrance of God, which are noted in verse 205 of Surah Al-A’raf.”
He considered the identity of neglect to be based on sensual pleasures, and in this regard, he drew attention to verse 179 of Surah Al-A’raf and verse 12 of Surah Muhammad. Explaining this matter, the professor of the higher levels of the seminary noted, “The American identity or the identity of neglect seeks to transform the human society into an animal society so that it can have its reins in order to achieve its goals. While the Islamic and Muhammadan identity, or the identity of remembrance, stands in front of the former.
“The United States has long sought world domination. To achieve this goal, it made Israel rule over our region. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was an anti-American flood that shattered the power of the United States and Israel,” he said.
“Killing women and children by Israel is not a sign of power. Rather, the arrest of dozens of Zionist commanders in pajamas is a sign of the strength of the Resistance front,” he continued.
“This history-making event is the beginning of a new trend in the world, and it shows the superior and continuous power of Islamic resistance in the region, centered on the powerful Islamic Iran.”
“The Al-Aqsa Flood Operation started a new and continuous trend in the world that will not be limited to one country. At the same time, this flood indicates the superior power of Islamic resistance in the region centered on the powerful Islamic Iran,” Ayatollah Araki pointed out at the end of his speech.

Lady Zahra (a.s.), comprehensive, perfect role model for humanity: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) managed the house with the least facilities and had the best way of raising children. She was the best teacher and trained the best people.”
ABWA Official Website – The mourning ceremony for the martyrdom of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) was held with the speech of Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Khatam Al-Anbia (p.b.u.h) Grand Mosque in Qom.
In this ceremony, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “A woman can play a role both in and outside the home. In some cases, the presence of women in society and playing roles is necessary. For example, in some scientific fields such as medicine, women’s education is necessary, so that the Sharia rules can be observed in the society.”
“A woman can fulfill her social role as a teacher,” he added, “In addition to the social role, the woman is the teacher of the children in the family, and this is the position that God has given her.”
“In the cultural packages of education in the West, the educational role of parents has decreased to zero, and this role has been taken away from them. This is dangerous. This is despite that the role of parents in raising children in the family is crucial,” he continued.
About the position and characteristics of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “In addition to her feelings, emotions, and intellect, Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) appeared in the social arena wherever it was necessary, gave sermons, and stood by the friend of God. Lady Zahra (a.s.) has these moral qualities, and she is a comprehensive and perfect model for humanity.”
“Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) made the atmosphere of the house a source of peace for her husband Imam Ali (a.s.). A Quranic verse was revealed to the Muslims and forbade them to call the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) by his name. In this regard, Lady Fatimah (a.s.) said, “The glory of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) prevented me from calling him “father.” Therefore, I said: “O the Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) turned to me and said: “My daughter! This verse does not address you. You belong to me, and I belong to you. You call me father because this is more beloved in my heart, and more favorable for God”,” he said.
“Surah Al-Insan teaches us how to live. In this surah, we read: “إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا” ([saying,] ‘We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We desire no reward from you, nor thanks.) (Holy Quran, Surah: Al-Insan, Verse: 9) This verse indicates that Lady Zahra (a.s.) and other AhlulBayt (a.s.) do not expect gratitude from anyone but they do good deeds for the immortality of that deed,” added the professor of higher levels of the seminary.
“Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) was called her father’s mother (Umm Abiha). Because after the demise of her mother, Lady Khadijah (a.s.), she was a nurse for his father and was very diligent in this. She played her role as a wife in the best way. In this regard, Imam Ali (a.s.) said, “The daughter of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), did not make me angry even once. She never disobeyed me, and whenever I felt sad, seeing her would remove all my sadness”,” he added.
About today’s lifestyle, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Today, due to changing tastes, consumerism is prevalent, and due to the increase in people’s expectations, the age of marriage has also increased. It is thought that husband and wife being equal means being on the same level in material matters. While being equal is important from the faith aspect, that is, both husband and wife should be believers.”
Regarding the educational and managerial role of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) in the family, Ramazani said, “Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) managed the house with the least facilities and had the best way of raising children. She was the best teacher and trained the best people.”
“Even though she had a maid named Fedha, Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) did the housework herself, and observed justice in the best way. One of the scholars stated that “some like Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) had a wide and blessed life. Pray for us to have a wide life too [because Lady’s life span was 18 years, and it was short, but at the same time it was very useful and blessed, this interpretation is used]”,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
At the end of his speech, stating that “Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.) stood by the friend of God,” Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Whoever stands by God’s friend must be patient and resist. In this regard, Imam Reza in a Hadith said, “Without three characteristics, a person is not a believer: The characteristics of his Lord, the characteristics of the His Prophet (p.b.u.h), and the characteristics of His friend. The characteristic of the Lord is that He keeps secrets; the characteristic of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) is good conduct with people; and the characteristic of the friend of God is endurance and patience in hardships and difficulties”.”
