Ayatollah Ramezani: Goal of Islam is education of human

Ayatollah Reza Ramezani, Secretary General of the World Assembly of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), invited by the Muslims of Brazil to attend the international conference of "Islam; "Religion of Dialogue and Life", attended the Islamic Center of Imam Mahdi (AS) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and gave a speech to the Muslim youth in this Islamic Center.

Referring to the place of ethics in Islam, Ayatollah Ramezani stated: One of the most important points about the religion of Islam is its moral dimension. Islam aims to educate humans morally and the society to be a moral society. Morality is one of the categories that when we enter its virtues, we see that it is in harmony with human nature. God has placed all the beauties in human nature and existence.

The Secretary General of the World Assembly of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) added: Islam wants to educate man as true man, and becoming a true man has its own characteristics. When a person becomes a true man, he will serve others, be trustworthy, donate and many other virtues will grow in him. Of course, understanding how to become a true man is very important.

 

The goal of Islam is to educate people

Ayatollah Ramezani, referring to the educational method of Islam, stated: When a person becomes a true man, he falls in love with his creator. Before and after the Prophet (pbuh), young people fell in love, but before the Prophet (pbuh) they looked for material love and there were many wars and quarrels as a result. When the Prophet (PBUH) came, he defined the true love and said that love and affection is the perfection of beauty and the highest love is the love and affection for God. When love for God comes, love for perfection, love for beauty, love for spirituality, and love for service follow it, and the lover person serves others with love, and the beggar no more goes to his door, but the lover goes to the beggar's door and helps him.

He continued: If a person wants to become a true man and educate himself, he should not see himself only. Because if he wants to see himself only, he can no longer see the truth. Man should not be self-centered, but man should see himself as God's creation and submit to him. When he reaches submission, he becomes certain. Islam means submission to the commands of the Almighty.

Characteristics of a real Muslim based on the traditions of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH)

Secretary General of the World Assembly of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) added: Wherever a Muslim is, others feel safe and that is what a real Muslim is. According to hadiths, a true Muslim is someone from whose hands and tongue the others are in safety. Many may be Muslims in name, but they are not Muslims in meaning. The Prophet (PBUH) said that you must be Muslims in meaning. When a person reaches the position of being a Muslim, he feels responsible, first to himself and then to all Muslims. If he does not feel responsible, he is not really a Muslim. The Prophet (pbuh) said in a narration that "Whoever wakes up in the morning but not caring about the affairs of Muslims, then he is not a Muslim."

Ayatollah Ramezani, referring to the need for Muslims to feel responsible for each other, said: Islam says that in an Islamic society, the problem of one Muslim is also the problem of another Muslim. Because a Muslim is a Muslim brother, if he feels pain, you should also feel pain, if he is happy, you should be happy too. Saadi has a beautiful poem that "sons of Adam are organs of one body". A Muslim person should not only feel responsible towards other Muslims, but also if a non-Muslim, like a Christian, asks for help, he should help him, and if he does not help, he is not a Muslim. The Prophet (pbuh) said in a narration that "Whoever hears a man calling out to a Muslim but he does not respond he is not a Muslim". A Muslim puts others before himself, Imam Hassan (a.s.) said that I saw my mother Zahra (a.s.) praying only for her neighbors while she herself was sick, she did not pray for herself. I asked my mother why you didn't pray for yourself, she said that: first the neighbor, then the house.
