Lovers Assembly in Kabul + Photos"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On the occasion of Arbaeen 1443 AH, and the anniversary of the demise of the Holy Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h), the conference \u201cMessage of Arbaeen\u201d was held by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers Assembly in Kabul, with the presence of scholars, academic figures, influential people, youth, and university students.<\/p>\n

After the recitation of verses from the Holy Quran by Qari Sayed Hakim Hosseini, and the recitation of Salawat Zainabia by Mr. Ahmad Ali Hassani, Ayatollah Salehi Modarres, the head of the Council of Shiite Scholars of Afghanistan, and a member of the General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, appreciated the conference and say, \u201cThe grief for the loss of the chief of the martyrs, Imam Hussain (a.s.), will remain forever. Ashura arose from God\u2019s will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHussain\u2019s love will always be in people\u2019s hearts,\u201d he said, referring to the hadiths about the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) about his grandson, Imam Hussain (a.s.).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequence of Ashura is the guidance of humanity, and Arbaeen, in which millions of people participate, and is, in fact, the resurrection of the material world,\u201d Ayatollah Salehi added, \u201cMourning ceremonies for Imam Hussain (a.s.) have guided thousands of people and have led to merits and the elimination of suffering in society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cImam Hussain (a.s.) and his Ashura movement unite the Muslims of the world,\u201d the head of the Council of Shiite Scholars of Afghanistan considered, \u201cThe three achievements of the Karbala movement are to keep people from going astray, to learn the lesson of standing up against oppression, and bringing about the freedom and rightfulness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then at the conference, Ms. Sadat Kazemi, a professor at the seminary and the university, in her speech on the role of women in promoting the divine religions, said, \u201cWomen were active in promoting pre-Islamic religions. In Islam, this role has become more prominent that is due to Islam\u2019s view of the equality of Muslim men and women in the faith. Therefore, both can propagate Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to prominent women in the history of Islam, she emphasized their role in the educational, training, support, and promotion of Muslim women in society.<\/p>\n

\u201cLady Zainab (a.s.) has tried in all religious aspects,\u201d the panel member said, considering Lady Zainab (a.s.) as a role model.<\/p>\n

\u201cZainab (a.s.) started propagating Islam from the massacre place of her brother Imam Hussain (a.s.), and based on logic, religious principles and values, she spoke and recited sermons,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile understanding the message of Arbaeen and the role of Zainab (a.s.), and adhering to Islamic principles and values in the field of religion, politics, economics, etc., women should act like men, and these efforts must be appreciated,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Then at the conference, in his speech on \u201cArbaeen Educational Message\u201d, Professor Sayed Hassan Hosseini Balkhi said, \u201cEducation means the influence of one human on another human. This influence exists in various areas of individual, social, and ethics. Arbaeen pilgrimage and ceremonies related to Imam Hussain (a.s.) transform the personal, social and political life of human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the conferences and pilgrimages where the Arbaeen pilgrimage is recited, its messages are repeated and are placed in the depths of the heart of the lovers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.),\u201d Professor Hosseini Balkhi said, referring to the spiritual and spiritual effects of the Arbaeen pilgrimage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe salvation ship belonging to Imam Hussain (a.s.) is more effective and is more inclusive. As the spirituality of the pilgrimage of Arbaeen Imam Hussain (a.s.) to the soul and psyche of the pilgrims is undeniable. The equality, humbleness, and purity of the pilgrims in this pilgrimage are also remarkable,\u201d he said, referring to the hadith of the \u201cSafinat al-Nejat\u201d (Ship of Salvation).<\/p>\n

\u201cArbaeen ceremony has provided an opportunity to introduce the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) to the world, and Arbaeen pilgrimage introduces Imam Hussain (a.s.) to the world,\u201d Dr. Balkhi emphasized:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) was to reform the Ummah. Arbaeen and its pilgrimage also cause the same reform in the society,\u201d he reminded, referring to the impact of religiosity and adherence to Hossaini ethics in the social education of the people.<\/p>\n

Following the conference, in his speech on \u201cReligious Dignity in the Message of Imam Hussain (a.s.)\u201d Dr. Ahmad Ali Niazi, a professor at the seminary and university, and another member of the panel said, \u201cThe uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is complete and comprehensive, and includes all the principles of growth in various dimensions. It is necessary to do more research on the Karbala and Arbaeen uprisings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDignity is a part of human nature that is achieved in different ways. Dignity and giving dignity to human beings have been the main goals of Islam. Because these attributes lead to excellence and growth of human,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf dignity is destroyed, society will surrender to any oppression. The induction of the slavery in the people in historical periods was done in such a way, such as the humiliation of the Israelites by Pharaoh,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a loss of dignity, oppression, and submission to the oppressors,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

Referring to the phrase \u201cHihat Mina al-Zalah\u201d (No to Humiliation!) by Imam Hussain (a.s.), Dr. Niazi said, \u201cThis is the eternal message of Imam Hussain (a.s.) to his followers that a dignified death is better than a humiliating life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the conference, in his speech on \u201cThe permanence of the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.)\u201d, Sayed Hossein Alemi Balkhi, chairman of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers Assembly, and a panel member, while welcoming the speakers and participants, said, \u201cThe AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers Assembly decided to hold the Arbaeen program in the form of the conference and a question-and-answer session by the panel members. I appreciate the presence and speech of Ayatollah Salehi Modarres, the head of the Council of Shiite Scholars of Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany events in the world with tens of thousands of casualties have been forgotten. But Ashura, which was short in time and demographically limited, survived because of its clear value messages. There were no material or worldly issues in this uprising. The clear message that was presented in the words of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is to believe in religion and to defend religious values, to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and freedom,\u201d Mr. Alemi Balkhi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cReadiness for self-sacrifice in this direction is the important message of Ashura,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the Ashura event, Imam Hussain (a.s.) had considered and planned to convey the message of the movement. Were it not for the captives of Karbala, the messages of Imam Hussain\u2019s (a.s.) movement would not have been transmitted to this day, and the world. On his way to Karbala, Imam Hussain (a.s.) carried out messaging measures. Even, for the time after his martyrdom, he had considered important issues, and Lady Zainab (a.s.) and the other family members of Imam Hussain (a.s.) became the messengers of his uprising. The emotional aspects of the Karbala uprising were another influential element in the Ashura message, which strengthened its effectiveness,\u201d Mr. Alemi Balkhi said, regarding the factors that made the Ashura messages effective and lasting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe courage of the speaker of Ashura, namely Lady Zainab (a.s.), was another essential element to convey the message of the uprising. She did not remain silent in the face of any threat. In such a way that with the occurrence of the Karbala Event, she boldly and calmly responded to the humiliations of Ibn Ziad and Yazid,\u201d, \u201cThe decisiveness and influence of Zainab\u2019s words in Kufa was such that it reminded the people of Kufa of the tone and content of her father, Imam Ali\u2019s (a.s.) words. One of the characteristics of Lady Zainab (a.s.) was her eloquence. Also, the repetition of the messages of Ashura throughout history by the infallible Imams (a.s.), Shiites, and lovers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.), played an essential role in influencing the message of the movement of Imam Hussain (a.s.),\u201d added the chairman of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, it should be mentioned that the message of Arbaeen is that truth always triumphs over falsehood, and choosing the path of values brings man to the truth. We must always remember this lesson,\u201d Alami Balkhi said.<\/p>\n

In another part of the program, Mr. Khodadad Faghihi recited a poem by Allameh Iqbal Lahori.<\/p>\n

Panel members also answered participants\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n

In this section, Hosseini Balkhi said, \u201cThere is no separation between education and moral training, these two issues are interrelated. Education must be formed in three stages of awareness, acceptance, and behavior. Even, some scholars consider education to be part of moral training.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, Dr. Niazi said, \u201cIt is wrong to present a picture of the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) that would tarnish the honor and dignity of the martyrs of Karbala.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference ended with the recitation of a prayer by Hojat al-Islam Fetri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
