World Assembly stated, \u201cDistributing food packages, grouping the donors, eradicating poverty, and visiting the needy are among the practical life of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">Pointing out that services to the needy are effective in the society, he added, \u201cThese services reflect the religious authority\u2019s commitment to poverty eradication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Poverty eradication<\/strong> <strong>is one of the important teachings of Islam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">Considering poverty eradicating as one of the important teachings of Islam, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, \u201cIn terms of eradicating poverty, Islam does not differentiate even between Muslims and non-Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cJihadi (voluntary) activities and poverty eradication are among the actions that not everyone is willing to do because they have no financial benefit. Young people working in these areas should be encouraged and supported because they work without expectation,\u201d pointed out the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">Referring to the unemployment of half of the young members of jihadi groups in Astara, he said, \u201cThese motivated young people who provide livelihood packages to those in need in remote areas, should be supported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Necessity of studying, needs assessment and redefining the capacities of Gilan cities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cI ask the governor of Gilan and his management team to study all the cities of the province with no discrimination and to assess the needs of each of them. The capacities of the cities of Gilan should be redefined and the youth who are present in different areas of the society should be used in this sector,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cWorking for God is a transcendent value,\u201d the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts stated, \u201cThese are the jihadi activities that have preserved the Islamic Republic and have made us reach self-reliance. The strengthening of jihadi (volunteer) groups has led to the victory of Islamic Iran in all areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cGilan province has many capacities. For the development of Astara, the city\u2019s governor can provide a team for the jihadi youth,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cMeasures to eradicate poverty and donate livelihood packages must be developed. For the growth of each province and city in terms of intellectual, cultural and livelihood, we need a cultural document,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\"><strong>The need for serious attention to Astara<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">The representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts pointed out, \u201cThe capital of the province should have a serious concern for the city of Astara.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cFortunately, those who believe in the discourse of the Islamic Republic became managers and officials in the city of Astara. It is haram to appoint someone who does not believe in the discourse of the Islamic Republic,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cDemanding is the right of every citizen and every revolutionary, and it must be wise, prudent, realistic, compassionate, and accompanied by moral and spiritual etiquette,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf we want to offer a solution, it must be based on ethical principles,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

This heavenly book introduces man correctly and in the most comprehensive way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Public Culture Council is a powerful arm of the cities.
