    Knowledge’s preference over degree, crucial characteristic of civilization-building university: Ayatollah Ramazani

    The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “One of the characteristics of a civilization-building university is preferring knowledge over degree. A university needs to be productive to excel, and it will never grow by just teaching others’ sciences.”

    ABWA Official Website – On Saturday, October 19, 2024, the new educational complex of AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University, titled “Islamic Studies Faculty”, was opened in Qom with the presence of Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

    In this opening ceremony, while pointing out the need to appreciate the efforts of the Resistance Front commanders, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “The current security in the country is due to the efforts of martyrs such as Haj Qassem Soleimani, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, and other martyrs of the Resistance Front, who brought a great honor for this front.”

    “The late Imam Khomeini (r.a.) taught us to follow this path, and now, the Islamic world enjoys intellectual and discourse greatness in human society,” continued the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

    “Increase your knowledge and never think of finishing the lessons at any cost,” addressing the students, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “You need to take full advantage of your professors.”

    “One of the characteristics of a civilization-building university is preferring knowledge over degree. A university needs to be productive to excel, and it will never grow by just teaching others’ sciences,” he continued.

    “Some fields of studies in universities are only for employment. But by considering the authentic meaning of science, more jobs can be created and expand the intellectual system based on wisdom in society,” expressed the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

    “Humanities departments of AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University have been established in Qom. We emphasize that you should avoid studying just to get a degree, rather, thinking must be established in society,” Ayatollah Ramazani added.

    At the end of his speech, the member of the Assembly of Leadership Experts stated, “The strategic document of the transformation of AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University should be submitted to its board of trustees. The existence of scientific research and promotional journals, and the attracting students to submit their articles to the university faculties, is commendable.”

  • Hezbollah's survival owes to Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom: Secretary of ABWA’s Supreme Council

    Hezbollah's survival owes to Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom: Secretary of ABWA’s Supreme Council

    The Secretary of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Islam was brought by the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), and it survives with the movement of Imam Hussain (a.s.). The survival of Islam owes to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.), and the survival of Lebanese Hezbollah owes to the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah.”

    ABWA Official Website – On Thursday morning, October 17, 2024, the 194th comprehensive conference of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly began with the presence of members of the council in the meeting hall of the Assembly in Qom.

    5352ac86-2c71-4211-922a-3f9d684bf039.jpg

    In an interview on the sidelines of this conference with ABNA News Agency, Hojat al-Islam Sayed Abulhasan Navvab, Secretary of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly spoke about the impact of the martyrdom issue on the Islamic Ummah. “Since the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in 61 AH until now, martyrdom has had no effect on us other than creating endurance and strength. On the Day of Ashura, the companions of Imam Hussain (a.s.) were only 72 people. But how much has the number of Shiites increased today? This is the effect of the victory of Imam Hussain (a.s.) on the Day of Ashura. The appearance of the case is that the martyrdom is a damage. But in fact, the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is the secret of blessing, life, endurance, and victory in the Shiite world, from the time of the Ashura event to the contemporary era.”

    Hojat al-Islam Sayed Abulhasan Navvab further emphasized, “After the martyrdom of Sayed Abbas Mousavi (the former Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah), everyone in the beloved Lebanon thought that the role of the Resistance was over with his martyrdom. But then Sayed Hassan Nasrallah came and started working in Hezbollah, and the victories began. 32 years after the martyrdom of Sayed Abbas Mousavi, we see that the Lebanese Islamic Resistance has become a blessed tree that the martyrdom of any figure does not affect it, even if it is the martyrdom of its all commanders. The structure and system that Sayed Hassan Nasrallah founded in the Lebanese Hezbollah movement is the secret of the life and blessing of the movement. Perhaps, we imagine that the commanders and leaders of Hezbollah are martyred, but Hezbollah is alive and continues its way. After the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, we can see that the Lebanese Hezbollah movement is more victorious every day than the previous day. After the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, this movement remains, and Hezbollah exists in the soul of all Shiites.”

    In the end, the Secretary of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “On the day of the martyrdom of Sayed Hadi Nasrallah, the son of martyr Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, everyone told the Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General that “we are all Hadi.” Today I say that all of us are Hezbollah. The Lebanese Hezbollah movement is influential in the world. Islam was brought by the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), and it survives with the movement of Imam Hussain (a.s.). The survival of Islam owes to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.), and the survival of Lebanese Hezbollah owes to the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah. This process continues from the beginning of Islam until the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).”

    In any case, the victory is for the Resistance Front: ABWA’s Deputy Chairman

    The Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The future of the Resistance Front is honor, victory, and power, whether with martyrdom or with a good life, and in any case, victory is for the Resistance Front.”

    ABWA Official Website – On Thursday morning, October 17, 2024, the 194th comprehensive conference of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly began with the presence of members of the council in the meeting hall of the Assembly in Qom.

    In an interview on the sidelines of this conference with ABNA News Agency, Ayatollah Qorban Ali Durri-Najafabadi, the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly referred to the definitive victory of the Resistance Front. “The future of the Resistance Front is honor, victory, and power, whether with martyrdom or with a good life. In the Holy Quran, God Almighty says: “قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَا إِلَّا إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ ۖ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ” (Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things- (Martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you…) (9: 52) What do you think about us? What are you waiting for? Whether we kill or get martyred, we are victorious. In any case, victory is for the Resistance Front. The spirit of self-sacrifice can be seen among the Muslim nations and regional nations, including Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and the great nation of Islamic Iran, who nevertheless support the Resistance Front from Gaza to Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria.”

    The Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasized, “The criminal Zionists are very cowardly. They will not get anywhere except with American technology and support. The Americans, the Zionists, the British, and the French suffered the biggest historical, political, social, cultural, moral, and legal defeat in the last year, and their reputation was lost forever. With these crimes, they surpassed Genghis, Hitler, and Stalin. With these crimes, they no longer have any place in terms of reputation, moral, spiritual, and human values ​​among any nation. No criminal will ever achieve his goals with crime, and the oppressed will always be victorious and felicitous, even if they become martyrs, they are still alive, eternal, and lasting in history.”
