Ashura, revival of justice, fighting oppression: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Ashura is the revival of Tawhid, the system of seeking justice and fighting oppression. Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) will be the fulfillment of all the objectives of the Ashura movement, and the continuation of the comprehensive, profound, and detailed enlightenment about Islam.”
On Friday, July 29, 2022, at the monthly ceremony of appeal to Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) in the Afakhra Mosque in Rasht, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “These gatherings to appeal to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) have great spiritual reward and value, and by attending these meetings, man feels at peace.”
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Helping orphans, gifted teenagers, and needy families is valuable. Serving the people is very important, and it is also emphasized in Islam.”
“The event of Ashura is the continuation of the movement of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h). Divine prophets sought to put man on the path of Tawhid individually. This issue can also be seen in the event of Ashura and the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.),” he added.
“To achieve theoretical Tawhid (monotheism), man must have a correct understanding, use his intellect and distance himself from external and internal Shirk (polytheism),” Ayatollah Ramazani noted.
While emphasizing the virtue of reciting Surah Tawhid, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, “Ria (performing good and virtuous deeds to please or attract the attention of anyone except God) as one of the examples of hidden polytheism, destroys human value. If we perform a good deed for God, we should ask God for its reward. A monotheist is a spiritual person.”
“On the Day of Ashura, Imam Hussain (a.s.) asked for help from the monotheists, because they are those who fear God. Introduction of Islam should be in a way that does not harm Tawhid and justice,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Ghadir is the continuation of the movement of Prophets, and if it had not followed with the Event of Ashura, there would have been nothing of Islam. In this path, there must be a correct understanding of Tawhid and justice,” expressed the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The Event of Ashura occurred because justice and Tawhid were harmed. Throughout history, Islam, which came for human dignity, was turned into a captive, humiliated and dark version by wicked people. Velayat and Ghadir confronts this wrong thought.” he clarified.
“In the time of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), there were deviations by wicked people which continued until the Ghadir Event. Imam Hussain (a.s.) eliminated these deviations by enjoining good and forbidding wrong,” Ayatollah Ramazani added, “Ashura is the revival of Tawhid and the system of justice, and the fight against oppression.”
“According to Imam Sadeq (a.s.), Islam has been divided into two categories of aristocratic Islam and Islam of justice. Aristocratic Islam is the Islam of the Umayyads, and the Islam of justice is the Islam of Imam Ali (a.s.). Justice will be realized after the Reappearance and in the government of Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) will be the fulfillment of all the objectives of the Ashura movement, and the continuation of the comprehensive, profound, and detailed enlightenment about Islam.” emphasized the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“Imam Khomeini (r.a.) introduced the social aspect of religion to the people. Supreme Leader of the Revolution played a significant role in reviving the ideals of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) and the Islamic Revolution. If justice is not realized in the society, the mission will remain unfulfilled. Justice has been the social ideal of all divine prophets,” Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.
“If there was no such thing as the Reappearance, all the efforts of the divine prophets would have been incomplete. With the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.), human knowledge will be perfected, and humanity will move toward Tawhid,” pointed out the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Spirituality should made us responsible people, and we should be tolerant with others. With the Reappearance, the goals of Ashura will be fulfilled,” he said.
“Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) was sent to establish monotheistic order and justice. With the Event of Ashura, both prophethood and Ghadir were revived. People and government should have justice to each other,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Referring to the holding of mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.) in Western and European countries, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, “European people shed tears for the oppression of Imam Hussain (a.s.), and they know that he was martyred for the freedom of the whole humanity.”
