According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>During his visit to Iraq, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, met Sheikh Khalid Abdul Wahab Mulla, President of the Iraqi Ulema Association.<\/p>\n


\nNowadays, golden opportunity to introduce Islam: Ramazani<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this meeting, referring to the role of ulema, Ayatollah Ramezani stated, \u201cThroughout the Islamic history, the role of Ulama (Islamic Scholars) has been prominent at all times. Today, given the current situation in the international arena, this presence can undoubtedly be very important and necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn my speech at Imam Khomeini\u2019s house in Najaf, I referred to verse 143 of Surah Al-Baqarah. In this verse, God says, \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0670\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0623\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0637\u064b\u0627\u201d (Thus We have made you a middle nation). This verse refers to the role of scholars. In interpreting this verse, Sunni scholars have defined the middle nation as \u201ca moderate nation far from extremism.\u201d Of course, Allameh Tabatabai and our teacher Allameh Javadi Amoli, following Allameh Tabatabai, interpreted the verse differently. He says that the Muslim Ummah is a moderate nation, but this point must be inferred from other verses and hadiths. This verse refers to the fact that just as the Prophet (p.b.u.h) is the mediator between the Creator (God) and the creatures, the Prophet (p.b.u.h) receives the truth of revelation as a divine prophet and conveys it to humanity. But after the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), the mediators between the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and human beings are the Ulama (Islamic scholars),\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe middle nation is the scholars who mediate between God and His creatures. The role of scholars is very prominent here. According to verse \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0670\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0623\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0637\u064b\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0634\u064f\u0647\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0633\u0650\u201d (Thus We have made you a middle nation that you may be witnesses to the people), the scholars receive this knowledge and are witnesses to the people, as the Prophet (p.b.u.h) is witness to them: \u201c\u0648\u064e\u064a\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064e\u0651\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0634\u064e\u0647\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064b\u0627\u201d (and that the Apostle may be a witness to you). In this regard, the late Allameh Tabatabai said that here, \u201cwitness\u201d means model. Scholars are the role model for the Muslim community, and they are the true heirs of the divine prophets,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIslamic scholars, both Shia and Sunni, have a strategic role in showing the path to the destination to the people. If they want to be effective, they must be both jurists in religion and be spiritual. Scholars must be jurists in religion. Religion does not only mean \u201cOsul\u201d (principles) and \u201cFiqh\u201d (jurisprudence) alone. Rather, it includes all the teachings related to religion, including beliefs, intellectual and moral issues, and discussions of rules and jurisprudence. Scholars must also have spiritual conduct. Sufis pay close attention to this area,\u201d stated Ayatollah Ramazani, referring to the role of Ulama.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe combination of Shari\u2019a, Tariqah (knowing the divine path) and truth, is important, and Imam Khomeini has been a clear example in this regard. He was a jurist, a sage, a mystic, and a had divine morality. He collected a set of realities in himself and was able to become a charismatic figure in the human world. Therefore, some Christian scholars said of Imam Khomeini, \u201cHe revived us with his Christ-like breath. The religion of Islam and Muslims are indebted to the efforts of Imam Khomeini.\u201d Today, thanks to Imam Khomeini, the guiding task of Ulama are becoming more prominent day by day,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe secular view is one of the dangers that may infiltrate Shiite and Sunni scholars. However, it has already infiltrated. This is one of the great dangers in today’s conditions and society. Some even try to omit some Quranic verses, especially those related to resistance. This is an effort being made both in the West and by some Islamic enlightenment thinkers,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cToday, there is a golden opportunity to introduce Islam that we have never had before. This makes the duty of the scholars heavier. Martyr Modarres said, \u201cOur religion is our politics and our politics is our religion\u201d. But in analyzing this statement, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli said, \u201cIn the school of Imam Khomeini, our Sharia is our politics, and our politics is our Sharia; our Tariqah (knowing the divine path) is our politics and our politics is our Tariqah; our politics is our truth and our truth is our politics\u201d,\u201d said Ayatollah Ramazani, referring to the opportunity to introduce Islam.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe Supreme Leader of the Revolution said, \u201cWe are at a historical turning point and we are in a special situation. If we are careful and manage it well, we can place the greatest spiritual power and authority against arrogance among Muslims.\u201d Therefore, the greatest fear of the arrogant flow is Imam Khomeini\u2019s Islam, and if we want to do our duty in this matter, we must be brave,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cToday, we must be the example of this Quranic verse: \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0644\u0652 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0651 \u0623\u064e\u062f\u0652\u062e\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0645\u064f\u062f\u0652\u062e\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0635\u0650\u062f\u0652\u0642\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u062e\u0652\u0631\u0650\u062c\u0652\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0645\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0631\u064e\u062c\u064e \u0635\u0650\u062f\u0652\u0642\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0627\u062c\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652 \u0644\u0650\u064a \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0644\u064e\u062f\u064f\u0646\u0652\u0643\u064e \u0633\u064f\u0644\u0652\u0637\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064b\u0627 \u0646\u064e\u0635\u0650\u064a\u0631\u064b\u0627\u201d (And say, \u2018My Lord! \u2018Admit me with a worthy entrance, and bring me out with a worthy departure, and render me a favorable authority from Yourself.\u2019) (Quran, Surah Al-Isra, verse: 80) and ask God to: \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0651\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0647\u064e\u0628\u0652 \u0644\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0632\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062c\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0630\u064f\u0631\u0650\u0651\u064a\u064e\u0651\u0627\u062a\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064f\u0631\u064e\u0651\u0629\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0639\u0652\u064a\u064f\u0646\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0627\u062c\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u062a\u064e\u0651\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064b\u0627\u201d (And those who say, \u2018Our Lord! Give us joy and comfort in our spouses and offspring, and make us imams of the Godwary.\u2019) (Quran, Surah Al-Furqan, verse: 74). This is achieved by the truth,\u201d pointed out the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

Imam Khomeini\u2019s honesty, the reason for survival of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution: Khalid Mulla<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the meeting, Sheikh Khalid Abdul Wahab Al-Mulla, Head of the Iraqi Ulama Association, said, \u201cThe Jama\u2019at Ulama of Iraq (Iraqi Ulama Association) was one of the first institutions in Iraq to address the issue of Islamic unity. This institution supports Islamic movements in general. It supports both Imam Khomeini and Sheikh Ahmad Yassin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBefore the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini was also an ascetic and a defender of Islam and Muslims. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, despite all the facilities available to him, he became closer to God. The reason for the victory and survival of this Revolution (Islamic Revolution of Iran), from a mystical point of view, was Imam Khomeini\u2019s honesty with God, which extended the life of the revolution,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAlthough there are shrines of Imams, mosques, sources of emulations, and Ulama in Iraq, I am very worried about the future of the Islamic movement in this country. In Iraq, we are witnessing the emergence of the anti-Islamic flow, which is supported by the United States and Israel. We are responsible for the youth and their distance from religion. During Saddam\u2019s regime, Muslim Ulama were executed, and after the fall of this regime, we Ulama were released. The fatwa of the Marjaiyat preserved Iraq. But now we are witnessing deviations in Iraq, and (unfortunately) some scholars in this country have approached the secular flow, and they speak in the language of this flow that religion should be separated from politics,\u201d added the Head of the Iraqi Ulama Association.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn order for the religious movement in Iraq to become more active, we must cooperate with religious institutions active in Iran, such as the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought. Today, if a cleric wants to approach the people, he must follow their way. While this is wrong, and people should follow a cleric, he should not follow people,\u201d stated Sheikh Khalid Abdul Wahab Al-Mulla, considering it necessary to activate religious institutions.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe United States and Israel seek to cast doubt on our religion and religious denominations. Some in Iraq talked about the normalization of the relationship with Israel, these issues affect our youth. In the face of such a flow, we have to be closer to God, to cooperate truly with each other, and not to be afraid of speaking of the truth. This is while our enemies are not ashamed to say false words,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn Iraq, some chanted slogans against Iran. This is while that if we examine the American crimes and Iranian services since the beginning of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, it becomes clear which country we should chant against. We need to inform the people about these issues,\u201d added the head of the Iraqi Ulama Association.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen we study the life of Imam Khomeini or any other religious figure, we must manifest their conducts in our character. If Imam Khomeini was alive, and he observed the irreligious youth, he would have taken a stand and told the Ulama that they should stand against the secular flow and say that Islam is the solution to all problems,\u201d stated Sheikh Khalid Abdul Wahab Al-Mulla, considering it necessary to follow the example of Imam Khomeini.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAlthough the Islamic Republic of Iran has been under siege for 42 years, we are witnessing comprehensive progress of Iran in various dimensions, especially the scientific dimension. This progress is visible to everyone. The progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not only due to the efforts of manpower, but this progress is also due to divine grace. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the fruit of Imam Khomeini’s life,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe Supreme Leader of Iran pays attention to all the affairs of Muslims. We saw that Hamas leaders said they would not forget Iran\u2019s aid. The Bosnian people have said before \u201cWe are Sunnis, but if it were not for the help of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, the capital of our country would have fallen\u201d,\u201d added the head of the Iraqi Muslim Ulama Association.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are concerned about the aggression against Islamic beliefs, and unfortunately some scholars were also exposed to this danger. To counter this flow, we must act through television networks, cyberspace, holding various programs and strengthening religious gatherings. Meeting Ayatollah Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, is an incentive for us in this regard,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
