Rather, performing their religious duty was their most important goal,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe purpose of the martyrs of going to the battlefields was to perform their religious duties,\u201d he clarified, \u201cTo this end, the martyrs have always been victorious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe battlefields and war were the fields of self-training and self-purification,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized, pointing out that God created man to walk in the monotheistic system and purify himself.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe inner knowledge is the spirituality, rationality, justice, etc., and that man should not immerse himself in the material world and various things,\u201d added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts, \u201cThe martyrs reminded people of God and added to our religious consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe martyrs wanted a share in serving the people, not in worldly affairs and positions,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe martyrs saw the battlefield as a field of self-purification, and this was the reason for their victory,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said, stating that the martyrs were always free from all kinds of material and ungodly matters.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe should consider our duties as worship,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)
