Since the presence of the martyr Ayatollah Beheshti in this center in the 1960s, congregational prayers have been held jointly (with Sunnis), and this is the case in Belgium today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe late Allameh Amini made great efforts to introduce the position of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). It is said that in a meeting, on the importance of knowing and believing in the Imamate and leadership of the AhlulBayt (a.s.), he referred to the famous hadith \u201c\u0645\u0646 \u0645\u0627\u062a \u0648 \u0644\u0645 \u06cc\u0639\u0631\u0641 \u0627\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0632\u0645\u0627\u0646\u0647 \u0645\u0627\u062a \u0645\u06cc\u062a\u0629 \u062c\u0627\u0647\u0644\u06cc\u0629\u201d (Whoever dies and does not know the Imam of his time, has died the death of Jahiliyya). Then, late Allameh Amini referred to the events after the demise of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the question of who the Imam of the time for the Lady Zahra was (a.s.) before her martyrdom. But Sunni scholars did not have an answer to this question!\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, appreciating the efforts made to compile and translate the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) for the use of different strata of these works in Belgium.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">Recalling the activities of Martyr Sheikh Abdullah Dehdoh, he said, \u201cHe struggled a lot to spread the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). May God give him great degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">Stating that the General Assembly will be held next year, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

By the grace of God and by studying and researching, I was attracted to the school of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). I have been promoting the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school in Belgium and in Brussels for many years. Sunni brothers also participate in the Friday and congregational prayers that we hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have written works to prove the legitimacy and virtues of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) by quoting Quranic verses and hadiths from Sunni sources that have been translated into other languages. They ask me, \u201cWhy are you one of the followers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) (a Shiite)?\u201d In response, I say, Because of the words of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) who said, \u201c\u0627\u0646\u06cc \u062a\u0627\u0631\u06a9 \u0641\u06cc\u06a9\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0642\u0644\u06cc\u0646\u061b \u06a9\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0648 \u0639\u062a\u0631\u062a\u06cc \u0627\u0647\u0644\u200c\u0628\u06cc\u062a\u06cc \u0645\u0627 \u0627\u0646 \u062a\u0645\u0633\u06a9\u062a\u0645 \u0628\u0647\u0645\u0627 \u0644\u0646 \u062a\u0636\u0644\u0648\u0627 \u0628\u0639\u062f\u06cc \u0627\u0628\u062f\u0627\u201d (I am leaving among you the Two Weighty Things: The Book of Allah and my `Itrat (Progeny), my AhlulBayt.
