Protest and riot are different/ The Islamic Republic won’t withdraw from the values of Islam and the Islamic Revolution: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The United States is the definite enemy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We need to reconsider the type of interactions in some areas. But we do not withdraw from the values of Islam and the Islamic Revolution. The Islamic system won’t give in to chaos and corruption.”
At the celebration on the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and Imam Jafar Sadeq (a.s.) organized by “Hey’at of Mutavasselin to Immaculate Imams (a.s.)” of Rasht in Afkhara Mosque of the city, while congratulating on Eid, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “Muslims need to meticulously and profoundly study the lifestyle and tradition of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).”
“Today, the unity of the Islamic Ummah is the most important matter that Muslims should consider. The unity of the Islamic Ummah is one of the pillars of the Muhammadan (p.b.u.h) religion. The unity of the Islamic world will lead us to global authority in the political, economic, cultural, and other fields. The unity of the Islamic Ummah leads to the formation of the most powerful countries. In the last few decades, Muslims were the most victims of the division created by the West,” added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The unity of the Islamic Ummah must exist as a belief,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “The Islamic Unity Week should also be the week of the authority of the Muslims and the rule of Islam in the world in order to strengthen Islam and weaken global arrogance.”
“Following the Sunnah and studying the lives of the Infallibles (a.s.), especially the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), is a necessity. Today’s situation in the Islamic world is a special and ready condition for exalting the word of truth, eliminating falsehood, and propagating the pure Muhammadan (p.b.u.h) Islam,” expressed the Representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
Referring to the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “This Revolution can be seen as a miracle because no righteous person, not even a religious righteous one, even imagined that a revolution with Islamic content would occur in the world. The Islamic Revolution meant to confront the corrupt system that helped the global arrogance to keep the religion in its minimal form. The Islamic Revolution of Iran came to implement religion in the society with a maximum perspective.”
“Religion is a matter of Fitra (human divine nature”, and its rules are also a matter of Fitra natural and reason. Islam includes human dimensions, values, sacrifice, trustworthiness, security, freedom, rationality, and contemplation. Everything that is a human and divine value exists in Islam,” he added.
In another part of his speech, Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized, “Absolute freedom is not recognized anywhere, not even in liberal systems that claim freedom. In Article 2 and some other articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, some limitations have been set for freedom, which is avoiding the harassment of others. Freedom does not exist in many parts of the Western countries. For example, in Germany, denying the Holocaust is considered a crime.”
“Islamic Revolution of Iran established on the basis of Islam, and to confront political, social, cultural, etc. corruptions. During Pahlavi’s rule, there was no trace of Islam, and it had no social impression,” emphasized the representative of the people of Gilan in the of Assembly Leadership Experts.
“A correct understanding of religion makes evading from religion meaningless,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted, “Those who distance themselves from religion have not understood it correctly. All moral values exist in religion and the Islamic revolution is also derived from these values.”
Emphasizing that the authorities must try to solve the livelihood problems of the people, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Sometimes there may be inefficiency in a section. Therefore, we should initiate a serving movement to solve problems.”
Pointing out that holding authorities accountable in the political, cultural, social and economic fields should be discussed in a specialized manner, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “In the constitution, it is mentioned that various guilds and strata, including merchants, students, businessmen, etc., should make authorities accountable, and this is the civil protest in legal form.”
Referring to the new plan of the Islamic Council on how to hold civil protests legally, the Representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts emphasized, “The Islamic Revolution has been established so that every category with a religious, human and Islamic approach would be addressed. The Islamic Republic never intends to oppress the people. Considering the existence of the Vali-e Faqih, according to the divine obligation, any kind of oppression must be confronted. However, any mistake in any part of the country should be followed up without any consideration and the wrongdoers should be dealt with.”
“Right after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the enemies sought to overthrow it, to cause the secession of the Islamic country. For many years, a large part of Iran’s soil was separated from the country due to the greed and ignorance of incompetent kings, and now the enemy is looking to divide the country into several pieces,” Ayatollah Ramazani said
Pointing out the enemy’s plot to divide the 56 Muslim countries into 200 small separated countries, he stated, “The purpose of this division is to undermine the power of Muslims to colonize them. The enemy has followed this policy in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran.”
“By creating ISIS, the enemy sought to strike the Islamic world and Iran. Great men like General Soleimani and General Hamedani in confronting ISIS brought honor to all Muslim nations, which is a proof for our pride,” emphasized Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“In the events of the Islamic Revolution and the 8-year imposed war, the purest people were martyred,” the Representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts added, “To stablish security, figures who were believers from intellectual, humane and Islamic aspects, sacrificed their lives.”
“The enemy has spent a lot to impose its cultural influence, and has completely dominated the virtual space,” he added, “In recent events, some people came to the streets with the influenced by the virtual space.”
“In the recent events, three groups appeared in the street: the first group was very few people who had livelihood problems and made a so-called civil protest. The second group included young people aged 15 to 22 who were deceived through cyberspace and came to the street. The goal of this group was not to vandalize and arson the ambulance and burning the Iran’s flag, but they were deceived, and will be subjected to Islamic mercy of the country. But the third group was trained troublemakers, whose goal was to cause material and moral damage to property of the country and people. They were looking for insecurity in the country by burning banks and using cold weapons and firearms,” he said.
“Protest and riot are different. A platform should be provided in the society for people to express their protest,” noted the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“The Islamic system is a regional power,” the Representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts expressed, “The intention of rioters is clear. They look for insecurity in the society, they make excuses for anything.”
Further, pointing out the activity of the opposition media in the recent events, he stated, “Iran International TV with Saudi capital and Israeli content, and BBC Farsi and Manoto TV channels were active in this chaos and published thousands of false news. Enemy media outlets do not cover the gathering of millions of people, like the great Arbaeen Walk. But when 100 people gather, they spread its news widely.”
In another part of his speech, while referring to the issue of hijab, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts noted, “Hijab is an Islamic obligation that is mentioned in the Quran and all of sources of emulation emphasize that it is obligatory to preserve it as a social right. Hijab is a law in the Islamic Republic, and if someone has objection about it, the solution is not to riot in the street and remove the veil of the Muslim women. Rather, it should be discussed in specialized meetings.”
“More than 30 organizations are responsible for hijab and chastity in the society, and an important part of which is based on cultural and educational measures. Educational work should be beyond the political games of factions and parties,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“In recent incidents, the effort of the police forces was to prevent people from being killed. But when someone wants to create chaos and vandalize public property, he should be confronted according to the laws of all countries of the world. The police force protects the security of the country. Attacking the police, cutting off his head, or the brutal murder of a 15-year-old Basiji (volunteer force), is very painful.” said the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“It is very clear and obvious that the enemy is behind these events, and now the security forces are oppressed. If there is a problem, for example, in the police force, is it permissible to set fire to the city, and the mobilization of all foreign media outlets to cover the news and escalate the events?” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“During the last year, four thousand women were killed in the United States. Also in Germany, numerous attacks on women have been reported. Hijab girls are not allowed to wear headscarves. Why are such news not covered?” added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
“The enemy is trying to embolden ethnicism,” he noted, “In contrary, the literature of the Islamic Republic is based on brotherhood between all ethnicities. Young people should read more, and they should not get news from lying and divisive media such as Iran International, B.B.C and Manoto.”
While referring to the stance of some attention-seekers and celebrities in recent events, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “At the beginning of the issues, some people were confused, and without having any knowledge and insight, started to comment.”
“The Islamic Republic system will never cross its red line, i.e., the flag, Islam and Islamic values,” the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasized, “We must admit that we failed in some sections, including regarding the youth. But there are many sensitivities towards women in the society, and many services have been provided for them.”
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The United States is the definite enemy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We need to reconsider the type of interactions in some areas. But we do not withdraw from the values of Islam and the Islamic Revolution. The Islamic system won’t give in to chaos and corruption.”
“The enemy spreads corruption so that he can colonize us and separate us from religion. We need to preserve the greatness of the Revolution and be aware that wherever there is corruption, there will be no justice,” Ayatollah Ramazani said in the end.
