According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Saturday noon, June 4, 2022, at the anniversary of the demise of Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in the cemetery of the martyrs of Langarud, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, \u201cCommemoration ceremonies for Imam Khomeini (r.a.) should be held more glorious every year, to prove to the world that our way is the way of the late Imam (r.a.).\u201d<\/p>\n

The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, \u201cIt should not be neglected in holding ceremonies for the anniversary of the demise of Imam Khomeini (r.a.). The great miracle of the century, the Islamic Revolution of Iran, was performed by the late Imam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one believed that a government with the name of Islam and Islamic values \u200b\u200bwould arise centuries after Islam. Even the world\u2019s leading figures did not imagine a religious revolution in any part of the world. They believed that if a revolution took place, it would be secular,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, religion was not present in the public sphere, and some tried to stop the implementation of religious rulings,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome try to downplay religious obligations, such as the hijab, in Islamic society. We paid a lot for the preservation of the hijab, for example, in the Goharshad Mosque incident (Massacre of thousands of people who gathered in Goharshad Mosque in 1935 to protest against de-Islamization measures during Reza Shah\u2019s reign),\u201d stated, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the efforts of some people have been aimed at undermining both national and religious zeal. They wanted the Iranians to have neither Iranian nor religious zeal. Therefore, they target both types of zeal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cLimiting religion to merely praying and fasting, without any influence on society, is one of the plans of the enemies,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustice must be realized in all aspects. Islam was in solitude cnditions in the past, and the Mojahedin had to initiate the Enlightenment Jihad. Imam Khomeini (r.a.) was the first fighter in the path of Enlightenment jihad and fought hard against the distortions that had been created about religion,\u201d added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat could overthrow the Shah\u2019s throne when intellectuals, academics and even seminarians did not expect it to happen? By inviting the youth to confront oppression, Imam Khomeini invited everyone to a general uprising,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n

\u201cImam Khomeini (r.a.) never sought a position, while today some people toil to achieve it,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the enemies is to destroy religion,\u201d stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe progress of Islam cannot be stopped. Imam Khomeini (r.a.) revived the religion and today\u2019s generation of the religious community. In the absence of such a spirit, we will be harmed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic is like a trust, and we must take care of it. Because it is not easily obtained. Many lives have been sacrificed for this trust. To understand this, you need to read the biographies of the martyrs,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cImam Khomeini revived all kinds of jihad. He revived jihad in the sense of enlightenment as well as fighting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnlightenment jihad is needed for the progress of the Islamic Revolution in the world,\u201d stated the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Christian scholar in France said that they were revived by the breath of Imam Khomeini. Today, non-Muslim religious people are trying to reconsider their relationship with religion. Religion is researched in the world\u2019s important universities. Even the Zionist regime has established a university to study Islam,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Referring to the widespread popularity of the anthem \u201cSalute Commander\u201d, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, \u201cRising from Langarud, this epic song is the beginning for the whole world. It is an honor for us to be a soldier of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe anthem \u201cSalute Commander\u201d spread to other countries, and it has been performed in some countries such as Nigeria, Tanzania, Indonesia, India, Turkey and some Arab countries,\u201d noted the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n

Concluding his speech, Ayatollah Ramazani said, \u201cImam Khomeini (r.a.) struggled and handed over a significant trust to us. In this way, our duty is to avoid neglect. We must rather maintain this great trust through jihadi management.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
