Martyrdom paved way for people\u2019s awakening, removing their ignorance: Ayatollah Ramazani"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Tuesday evening, July 25, 2023, during the mourning ceremony on the 8th<\/sup> night of Muharram in Mahdiyeh, Rasht, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani said, \u201cThroughout history, some people have always had a negative encounter with Islam. They have been trying to confront all of God\u2019s prophets and martyr them. Divine prophets were against human slavery. Religion is a matter of Fitrah (human\u2019s divine nature), and the prophets did not impose it on mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout history, tyrants and oppressors have sought to enslave humans,\u201d he added, \u201cand unfortunately, despite seeing the miracles of the prophets, some stood against them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween the 17th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries, religion was considered a superstition. Also, during the time of Imam Hussain (a.s.), some people had confrontations against Islam on their agenda. Yazid sought to erase Islam and Islamic Sharia,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the time of Imam Hussain (a.s.), some people sought to erase the name of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) and Islam. Imam Hussain (a.s.) preserved Islam, and the survival of Islam owes to his struggle and martyrdom,\u201d added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

Further in his speech, referring to the two factors that led to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.), he said, \u201cThe first factor was the lack of emergence of the truth of Islam in the society, and the second factor was the lack of religious and political maturity of the people so that there was no trace of the truth of Islam in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe destruction of religion (Islam) was originally planned by the Umayyads,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani said, \u201cImam Hussain\u2019s (a.s.) martyrdom led to the establishment of protest movements in the society, such as the uprising of Mukhtar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of Imam Sadiq\u2019s (a.s.) period, he, and other Immaculate Imams (a.s.) had been treated the worst. The Umayyads and the Abbasids ruled in the name of Islam, but they tried to destroy its divine decrees,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the time of Imam Hussain (a.s.), unfortunately, the general public did not know about him, and this was one of the reasons for the martyrdom of the third Imam of the Shiites,\u201d emphasized the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobal arrogance opposes the religion that stands against oppression and domination,\u201d he stated, \u201cImam Hussain\u2019s (a.s.) martyrdom paved the way for awakening and removing the ignorance of the people. If people had political maturity during Imam Hussain\u2019s (a.s.) time, he would not have been martyred.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of his speech, while emphasizing the need to expand the truth and Resistance Front, he said, \u201cToday also, if Muslims have religious and political understanding and maturity, global arrogance cannot coerce them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
