According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Wednesday, December 7, 2022, the great conference of missionaries of South India was held in Alipur city with the speech of the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\n

In this conference, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, \u201cThe people of Alipur love the AhlulBayt (a.s.), and among characteristics them are belif in the Islamic government and Revolution of Iran, as well as Velayat Faqih.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no greater trust than religion, and this religion has been entrusted to you (Islamic missionaries),\u201d he added, \u201cThe late Ayatollah Bahjat once told me, \u201cI entrust you to God, and God to you\u201d. Missionaries should revive God in the hearts of people. In a hadith, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, \u201c\u0642\u0627\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u064e\u0648\u0627\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0651\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0644\u0639\u064a\u0633\u0649 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645: \u064a\u0627 \u0631\u064f\u0648\u062d\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0647 \u0650\u060c \u0641\u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0646\u064f\u062c\u0627\u0644\u0650\u0633\u064f \u0625\u0630\u0627 \u061f \u0642\u0627\u0644\u064e : \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u064a\u064f\u0630\u064e\u0643\u0651\u0650\u0631\u064f\u0643\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0647 \u064e \u0631\u064f\u0624\u064a\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0647\u064f\u060c \u0648 \u064a\u064e\u0632\u064a\u062f\u064f \u0641\u064a \u0639\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0645 \u0645\u0646\u0637\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0647\u064f\u060c \u0648 \u064a\u064f\u0631\u064e\u063a\u0651\u0650\u0628\u064f\u0643\u064f\u0645 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0622\u062e\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0639\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0647\u064f\u201d (The apostles of Jesus Christ (a.s.) asked him, \u201cO Spirit of God! So, who should we have company with?\u201d In reply, Jesus answered, \u201cWith someone whose company reminds you of God, whose words increase your knowledge, and whose actions incline you to the Hereafter.\u201d)\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding the history of some preachers in the propagation of Islam, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, \u201cAyatollah Bahjat said that some preachers\u2019 sermons were too lengthy. Sheikh Jafar Shushtari sometimes preached a page of sermon and at the end, some of the audience fainted. This means that preaching had a great influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mission of the preacher is to convey the truth to the hearts and souls of the listeners,\u201d he added, \u201cAccording to the Quranic verse \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064e\u0651\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u0650 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u063a\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064f\u201d (and the Apostle\u2019s duty is only to communicate in clear terms.) (Holy Quran, Surah: Al-Ankabut, Verse: 18), the meaning of \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u063a\u064f\u201d is that the content of the divine word must be conveyed to the heart and soul of the audience. Therefore, the preacher and missionary can be influential in the society. People have a lot of trust in the clergy and respect them. Because the clerics are the guard of God\u2019s religion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the Quranic verse, \u201c\u0627\u062f\u0652\u0639\u064f \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0633\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0644\u0650 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u0650\u0643\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0639\u0650\u0638\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u0650\u201d (Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way.) (Holy Quran, Surah: An-Nahl, Verse: 125), the alem\u2019s duty is to invite people to the path of God. It is mentioned in the hadiths that sit with ulama and them questions. Therefore, the preacher must be devoted himself to God. The position of the preacher is not just memorizing words and expressing them on the pulpit as sermons. Rather, he should convey the truth of religion to the heart and soul of the audience. Because religion is a matter of Fitrah (human divine nature), and the missionary deals with people\u2019s Fitrah, heart and soul. Therefore, people consider the alem (Islamic scholar) as the proof of God. On the other hand, in many hadiths, Imams (a.s.) have encouraged people to acquire and teach knowledge. The requirement of this relationship is the implementation of Islam in the heart of the preacher himself. If the preacher himself is a person of conduct, self-purification and Sharia, his speech will also be influential for the audience,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowledge is not memorizing words, but it is the light. Ayatollah Javadi said, \u201cThe Prophet (p.b.u.h) trained his companions in such a way that they could acquire knowledge even at night\u201d. While some people cannot learn while they are awake! One day after the morning prayer the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw a young man with a pale face and tired eyes. Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked him, \u201cHow did you get to the morning?\u201d He replied, \u201cI achieve the certainty.\u201d The Prophet asked, \u201cWhat is the sign for your certainty?\u201d The young man replied, \u201cI see heaven and the people of heaven and hell and the people of hell.\u201d The young man asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h) to pray for martyrdom in the way of God, and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) did so. He was martyred in one of the wars. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to train such companions who could acquire knowledge even at night,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI repeatedly heard from Allameh Hasanzadeh Amoli that, \u201cThe Prophet (p.b.u.h) learned knowledge from God, then he himself became a teacher (for the mankind)\u201d. Knowledge is light and not outward words. Therefore, the heart must be ready for it. Imam Ali (a.s.) said, \u201cAll containers will be filled, except the container of the heart\u201d. The heart is Throne of God, and He is present there,\u201d continued the professor of higher levels of the seminary.<\/p>\n

Referring to the presence of Unvan Basri before Imam Sadeq (a.s.), he stated, \u201cUnvan Basri was 94 years old. He had attended many classes, but he had not achieved what he wanted, the light. Therefore, he went to Medina, but Imam Sadiq (a.s.) did not accept him. Then, going to the tomb of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), he appealed to him so that the heart of his son, Imam Sadeq (a.s.), would be kind to him and accept him into his class. After his appeal, Imam Sadeq (a.s.) accepted him. Unvan Basri told Imam that he came to him to learn. Imam said, \u201cBut you have attended many classes!\u201d Unvan Basri answered, \u201cYes, but I didn\u2019t achieve what I was looking for.\u201d Therefore, Imam Sadeq (a.s.) taught him in a detailed hadith, known as \u201cUnvan Basri Hadith\u201d. This hadith is very important. In such a way that Ayatollah Qazi Tabatabai had ordered his students to carry this hadith with them and study it every day. In this hadith, Imam Sadeq (a.s.) says, \u201c\u0644\u064e\u06cc\u0633\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064f\u0645\u0650 \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0646\u064f\u0648\u0631\u064c \u06cc\u0642\u064e\u0639\u064f \u0641\u0650\u06cc \u0642\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0650 \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u06cc\u0631\u0650\u06cc\u062f\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u062a\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0627\u0631\u064e\u06a9 \u0648\u064e \u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e\u06cc \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u06cc\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u06cc\u0647\u064f\u201d (Science and knowledge is not about learning, but it is a light in the heart of someone whom Almighty God wants to guide.\u201d We should look for such a thing, and if such a knowledge is expressed in the sermons, it will be influential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPaying attention and appealing to AhlulBayt (a.s.) is an essential part of acquiring knowledge,\u201d the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly continued, \u201cWe should be close to AhlulBayt (a.s.), and love has a great effect on the path of learning knowledge. I had a meeting with Ayatollah Bahjat. He told me, \u201cIf someone is guided by you, it is better for you than whatever that the sun shed light on. Therefore, the position of missionaries is the position of prophets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe late Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi used to say, \u201cLearn Islam comprehensively, deeply and accurately, and introduce it comprehensively, accurately and deeply\u201d. Islam has teachings in the individual and social sphere and is comprehensive. That\u2019s why we say about Imam Mahdi (a.s.) that he will establish a government based on comprehensive justice,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

About the conspiracies of the enemies of Islam in the incomplete introduction of Islam, the professor of the higher levels of seminary stated, \u201cIn California, intellectuals said that Quranic verses related to Jihad should be put aside. Today, some introduce absolute peace from Islam, while others introduce violence and takfir. These are the two edges of the scissors to destroy Islam. There is fair and just peace, not an absolute peace so that lead us to make peace and normalize relations with the Zionists! Therefore, a price must be paid for a just and fair peace. In the Quranic verse, \u201c\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0631\u064f\u0633\u064f\u0644\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0646\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0632\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0643\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u0650\u064a\u0632\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0644\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0645\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0633\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0637\u0650\u201d (We verily sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance, that mankind may observe right measure) (Holy Quran, Surah: Al-Hadid, Verse: 25), \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0637\u0650\u201d means collective and social justice. But social justice requires payment. This verse follows, \u201c\u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0632\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0628\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0633\u064c \u0634\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064c\u201d (and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war). Here, \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064e\u201d (Iron) means resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no absolute peace in Islam. The meaning of absolute peace is to be friends and make a pact with any oppressor tyrant! On the other hand, global colonialism created ISIS who say \u201cAllah Akbar\u201d and behead innocents! While the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, \u201cI was sent for mercy\u201d. Also, there are many verses about the Prophet\u2019s mercy in the Quran. ISIS and Takfiris teach children to kill. ISIS and Wahhabism are made by the West,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the end, Ayatollah Ramazani advised the missionaries, \u201cStudy before preaching and giving sermon, and avoid giving sermon without studying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
