According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>In the unveiling ceremony of the book \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d, Dr. Mehdi Mostafavi, Deputy for the Office of the Supreme Leader in the International Affairs, stated, \u201cThis book is a biography of the educated scholar and thinker, Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Mohagheghi Lahiji.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAbout 68 years have passed since the demise of the late researcher. His blessed life has been 58 years. During this period, he was able to obtain the qualifications to be trusted by Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi, and to travel to Germany as a representative of the Shiite Marjaiat,\u201d he added, who has collected this valuable book.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe fact that the late Mohagheghi Lahiji was able to prepare himself for propagating and explaining the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) abroad in this short period of time is a matter for study and reflection. How was he able to achieve this preparation at a time when it is so different from the present time?\u201d Mostafavi said.<\/p>\n

\nConsidering the Islamic Center and Imam Ali (a.s.) Mosque in Hamburg as one of the most important and effective centers of Shiites and AhlulBayt (a.s.) abroad, the Deputy for the Office of the Supreme Leader in the International Affairs said, \u201cThis is due to the sincerity of the founders of this sacred center. This sincerity is evident in the beliefs, behavior, and funding of its construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cVerses of the Quran are engraved on the building stone of the center and the Islamic Mosque of Hamburg, and there is no mentioning of the name of a person or institution or group,\u201d Mostafavi added.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAnother feature that has made the activities of this center enduring, is the very good relations that the late Mohagheghi had established with the figures and centers that were influential in Germany. A member of the German parliament, the mayor of Hamburg, the consuls general of Islamic countries, university professors, and prominent Iranians living in Hamburg were invited to the first meeting to build the mosque. This connection created security and stability for the center’s activities, which continues to this day,\u201d said Dr. Mostafavi.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis book is a model for clerics, missionaries, and students,\u201d said the former head of the Islamic Culture and Communication Organization, appreciating all who helped him in compiling and publishing the book \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d.<\/p>\n

\nIt should be mentioned that the unveiling ceremony of the book \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d, a description of the efforts of Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Mohagheghi Lahiji, the first Imam of Imam Ali (a.s.) Mosque in the Islamic Center of Hamburg, Germany, was held on Sunday, July 11, 2021, at the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\nOther programs of the ceremony were: introduction of the Islamic Center of Hamburg, showing a documentary clip about the appointment of Mohammad Mohagheghi Lahiji as the first Imam of Imam Ali (a.s.) Mosque in the Islamic Center of Hamburg by Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi, and his activities in the center, a short speech by Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Hadi Mofateh, current manager of the Islamic Center of Hamburg, and signing the book \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d.<\/p>\n

\nThe \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d book is collected by Dr. Mahdi Mostafavi in 256 pages in five chapters, including \u201cSixty years after entering Hamburg\u201d, \u201cAbout Germany and Hamburg\u201d, \u201cfrom Gilan to Hamburg\u201d, \u201cThe Hamburg\u2019s Spirituality\u201d and \u201cOde of Farewell\u201d. The book \u201cShiite Ambassador in the West\u201d is published by the Islamic Revolution Document Center in 500 copies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
