According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Friday evening, March 25, 2022, during the commemoration ceremony of the late Ayatollah Sayed Mojtaba Rodbari in the Safi Mosque in Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, \u201cThe role that the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) played in guiding human beings was entrusted to the Infallibles (p.b.u.h) after his death, and today, the same role is entrusted to religious scholars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the life of Ayatollah Rudbari, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, \u201cIn Rasht, he began his education and self-cultivation in the presence of scholars, including Ayatollah Ziaberi, and after emigrating to Qom, he continued in the presence of Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi and Ayatollah Mirza Hashem Amoli.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAyatollah Rudbari also studied for 23 years in the presence of Imam Khomeini (r.a.). He studied in Najaf in the presence of dignitaries, including Grand Ayatollah Khoi,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Explaining that in terms of comprehensiveness, Ayatollah Rudbari was influenced by the personality of Imam Khomeini (r.a.), Ayatollah Ramazani clarified, \u201cHe himself once said that he learned his religious belief from Imam Khomeini (r.a.).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA religious scholar can do his educational duty only if he has first purified himself and is polite,\u201d the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts emphasized, \u201cWhen Ayatollah Rudbari arrived in Gilan in 1979, he was an undisputed mujtahid with an educational role.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne who wants to be a teacher and educator, must first educate himself before educating others, and one who has educated himself deserves praise,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing that the effect of the language of action is greater than the language of speech, Ayatollah Ramazani added, \u201cSometimes the effect of a human behavior is more than 100 hours of talking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pointing out that the individual and social reform is done with religious teachings, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly emphasized, \u201cThe scholar must teach religious teachings through his behavior and speech, so that the religion of the people is strengthened and grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can leave their religious affairs to the divine scholar. It is in this way that people get the same divine structure,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from theoretical sciences, Ayatollah Rudbari also had divine knowledge. One should not rely only on science and theory because relying on faith and recourse is also important,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing that religious scholars should teach the truth and essence of religion to the religious community, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts said, \u201cAyatollah Rudbari was a student of Imam Khomeini. He had accepted the Velayat-e-Faqih before the revolution and in an ijtihad manner. Ayatollah Rudbari believed that the phenomenon of religion is a matter of government.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReligion is not just a personal matter,\u201d he clarified, \u201cThe phenomenology of religion leads to the conclusion that religion is effective in the reform of the individual and the reform of society, as well as individual and social rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAyatollah Rudbari did not distance himself from politics and was not isolated. Rather, he decided not to pursue a position, but engage in religious discussions,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, many have accepted positions and become the Friday prayer leader and representative of the Supreme Leader. These positions require a lot of work and effort. But the religious authority of the people should be entrusted to someone who is immersed in religion,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini appointed Ayatollah Rudbari as the ruler of Sharia. But he asked the Imam (r.a.) for permission to conduct seminary affairs,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that the Islamic Revolution needs to work in the international arena, Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized, \u201cIslam needs international missionaries who are familiar with international language and present the golden rules of religion to today\u2019s society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is thirsty for the Islamic Revolution discourse,\u201d the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, \u201cThe discourse of rationality and spirituality, of the responsible type, must be revived.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to Ayatollah Rudbari\u2019s emphasis on seminaries, he said, \u201cWith the demise of Ayatollah Rudbari, the seminary of Gilan lost one of its greatest pillars. Many of the clergies were great graduates of this science.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAyatollah Rudbari had dedicated himself to the people and their religious affairs,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added, \u201cHe was respected by all shopkeepers and guilds, and this shows that whoever does his duty properly, people will praise and honor him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAyatollah Rudbari\u2019s behavior, deeds and politeness were exemplary,\u201d he mentioned, stating that being among the people is one of the greatest duties of religious scholars.<\/p>\n

According to Ayatollah Ramazani, the main task of a divine scholar is to preserve the religion of the people with proper education and the language of action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have distanced ourselves from the younger generation, and this has led others to seize this opportunity,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, \u201cTo understand religion correctly, seminaries must take action, and religious scholars must enlighten.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we must be up to date and learn and teach religion in all its aspects,\u201d he clarified, \u201cThe Islamic Revolution revived various aspects of religion, including its political and social position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the importance of the social aspects of religion is seen in the international arena. Today, Islam has emerged with authority in the world. There was once a confrontation between East and West in the world, but today it is a confrontation between Islam and arrogance,\u201d emphasized Ayatollah Ramazani.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that today, Islam, in the exact, deep, and comprehensive sense of the word, is a prerequisite for the felicity of this world and the hereafter, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts said, \u201cThis religion has brought honor and invites humanity to a good life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe religious scholar is trustworthy, honest in speech, and faithful in religiosity. He tries to instill faith in the true meaning in society so that its effects can be shown in society in the future,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest mission of a religious scholar is to strengthen the religiosity of the people,\u201d stated Ayatollah Ramazani, emphasizing that the result of faith and belief of a person should be its effect in himself at first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe young generation of Gilan has a lot of capacity. They are willing to look for people with knowledge that will affect their souls and minds,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, \u201cIt is necessary to think about the seminaries of Gilan and prepare the ground for inviting seminary scholars from Qom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ethical school is universal. The phrase \u201cwhat you like for yourself, like for others\u201d is one of the rules and principles of universal ethics. Today the world is thirsty for this literature,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the end, while emphasizing that efforts should be made to collect and compile the memoirs, manuscripts and works of … Ayatollah Rudbari, Ayatollah Ramazani said, \u201cSayed Saleh, the righteous son of Ayatollah Rudbari, is a genius, educated and polite man. Therefore, the people of the city and the representative of the Supreme Leader should ask him to be present in Gilan and continue his father\u2019s path so that part of the loss of the deceased can be compensated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
