According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>At dawn on Sunday, April 24, 2022, the vigil of the Night of Destiny (Laylat al-Qadr) on twenty-third night of the holy month of Ramadan in the Hashemi Mosque in Rasht, Ayatollah Ramazani referring to a hadith from Imam Reza (a.s.) regarding the importance of benefiting from the holy month of Ramadan, stated \u201cThe reward of Ramadan is servitude and service at a higher level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the holy month of Ramadan, God has invited us to his feast. We must take full advantage of this blessed month with sincerity, servitude and service to the people,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a person intentionally breaks his fast, the spirit of faith leaves him,\u201d he clarified, \u201cOf course, many are excused from fasting, which is not the case with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people fast only by not eating or drinking. While others cannot fast like this. But their tongue, eyes and ears are fasting, which is appreciable,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that fasting leads man to wisdom, and wisdom leads man to understanding (of divine matters), the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts said, \u201cUnderstanding causes man to reach the certainty (in his faith).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the subject of godliness, sincerity is the result of a kind of liberation,\u201d he added, \u201cWhen the fasting person understands the truth of fasting, he becomes certain (in his faith) and easily endures hardships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must remember the martyrs because they provided a blessed atmosphere in the world for us. We must make the best use of the opportunity provided to us by the fighters, veterans, and martyrs of the Holy Defense (Iraq\u2019s eight-year imposed war against Iran) and the Defenders of the Holy Shrines (those who martyred in battles against Takfiri terrorists in Iraq and Syria),\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani clarified in another part of his speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the Islamic Republic, Islam and Muslims are proud in the world today, and we are witnessing developments of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution in the world,\u201d pointed out the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAuthorities should work to address the people\u2019s problems,\u201d he said, \u201cThe people, as a pillar of the Islamic system, must be supported.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIslam with a comprehensive understanding, position of Velayat and Leadership, and \u201cpeople\u201d are the three pillars of the Islamic system, and maintaining these pillars increases security,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan can grow and attain salvation if he himself does not hinder his growth. Man\u2019s ignorance of God, and carnal vices, are among the obstacles that turn us away from God,\u201d stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the Night of Destiny (Laylat al-Qadr), most of all, we must ask forgiveness from our relatives and acquaintances. On these nights, one year of human destiny is written and recorded. On this night, the destinies of human beings are determined based on their attitudes, thoughts, and morals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the problems of human beings is lack of honest intention,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added, \u201cOnly God helps man, and for this reason we should not have false intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA religious society is not a society of poverty, but a society that fights poverty,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, pointing out that the poverty should removed from a religious society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere there are pretentious people and poverty at the same time, the problem is with the pretentious people,\u201d he mentioned, \u201cIn addition to trying to eradicate poverty, the begging of people who beg as a habit must be confronted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have suffered the most from hypocrisy, and the greatest harm to faith is polytheism and hypocrisy,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said, stressing the need of being kind to others.<\/p>\n

\u201cBelief arises when a person has reached heart knowledge,\u201d the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts stated, \u201cWe must surrender ourselves to God and we must not distance ourselves from our guardian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur worship is very far from the worship of Imam Ali (a.s.). On the Nights of Destiny, we must ask God to help us and separate us from our attachment to the (material) world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuperficial beliefs, immoral traits, and bad deeds are among the obstacles that prevent man from ascending,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the inner thoughts, beliefs, morals and actions of a person are bad, he will be present in the worst way on the Day of Judgment,\u201d he said, \u201cAction and agent are united on the Day of Judgment, and they cannot be separated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the characteristics of arrogance and selfishness, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly concluded, \u201cThe arrogant person is the wood of hell, and even hell avoids the arrogant person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
