Ayatollah Taskhiri, prominent, unique figure in Int’l arena: Shahriari
The Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought stated, “For those who have been active internationally in the last half century, Ayatollah Taskhiri is a well-known figure.”
ABWA Official Website – The 4th seminar of “Flag bearers of the Islamic peace and unity” with the theme “Life, opinions, and thoughts of the late Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Taskhiri” was held on Wednesday morning, May 10, 2023, at the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies.
During his speech at this seminar, Dr. Hamid Shahriari, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, while expressing his gratitude to the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies for holding this seminar, praised and thanked the participants in this important gathering.
“For those who have been active internationally in the last half century, Ayatollah Taskhiri is a well-known figure. He was unique and special in the international arena,” he added.
“At the beginning of my term at the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, I had the success to serve Ayatollah Taskhiri. This short period was so attractive to me that I became interested in him like a father in international activities. His good morals were the main axis for the success of proximity between Islamic schools of thought in the last half-century,” Shahriari added.
“Ayatollah Taskhiri was a member of the Jurisprudence Assembly of Jeddah and established Shiite jurisprudence in Saudi Arabia. His eloquent speech and Arabic language, which were accompanied by poems, verses, and hadiths, made his words very influential in the soul of the audience,” he emphasized.
“Considering the current conditions of the world, and the re-formation of the new world order, it can be said that a new political revolution is taking place in the world. The conflict between China and America, and the decline of the US dollar have caused the world to be changed in the political and cultural spheres,” stated the Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.
“Does the Islamic world have an ideal governance model for the Islamic Ummah or not? Can we offer a new model for the Islamic world? Such questions caused the emergence of ISIS. This terrorist group was a self-proclaimed Islamic state that claimed to restore the caliphate of the early days of Islam, and divided the Islamic world into two parts, inside and outside Islam,” he stated.
“The self-proclaimed ISIS state faced a heavy defeat with the bravery of the resistance commanders, led by General Qassem Soleimani. We defeated ISIS militarily. But is the idea that ISIS raised for caliphate, accepted by the Sunnis theoretically or not? In this regard, the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought published a book titled “ISIS Caliphate” in which opinions claiming the revival of the caliphate in the Islamic world were presented and criticized,” said the Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought about the decline of the ISIS terrorist group.
“For the establishment of a global government in the Islamic world, we can point to three almost stable models that have been already formed in the Islamic world. The first model is Türkiye; the Second is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; and the third and last one is the Wilayat-e Faqih of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is placed at the top of the others. They claim to be the leader of the Islamic world both theoretically and practically. However, the model of Wilayat-e Faqih has proven that it continues proudly on the path in the Islamic world, under the leadership and guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei,” he continued.
“I hope we all follow the ethics and management style of Ayatollah Taskhiri, and that all those who are with us will help to continue the path of the deceased,” said Hojat al-Islam Shahriari in the end.
It is worth mentioning that the 4th seminar of “Flag bearers of the Islamic Peace and Unity" with the theme “Life, opinions, and thoughts of the late Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Taskhiri” is held in cooperation with the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, Research Institute for Political Studies, International Relations and Law of Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies, the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, General Directorate of Religions and Denominations of the Islamic Development Organization, Research Institute of Tabligh and Islamic Studies, and the Research Center for Asian Cultural Documents, and the Miftah Center.
On the sidelines of this conference, an exhibition of photos and works of the late Ayatollah Haj Sheikh Mohammad Ali Taskhiri has been set up.
