According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>On Saturday, September 16, 2023, during the martyrdom ceremony of Imam Reza (a.s.) at the Holy Shrine of Seyyed Muhammad (a.s.) in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, referring to the miracles of Imams and prophets, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani said, \u201cWe don\u2019t know enough about our Imam (a.s.). Therefore, we see that there are different opinions about them.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSome people considered Prophet Jesus (p.b.u.h) as the Holy Spirit and Kingdom because he resurrected the dead. They introduced Prophet Jesus (p.b.u.h) as the son of God and the Holy Spirit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Referring to the book Jawahir al-Kalam, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, \u201cThe kingdom belongs to God, and it should not be attributed to Imams (a.s.). Because it is Shirk. According to hadiths, the Imams themselves were against this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Imams (a.s.) were superior human beings, and they were sincere servants of God. In the Salah, we first mention the position of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) being a slave to God. The mission of divine prophets and Imams is due to their great position,\u201d added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

While referring to the very difficult divine test for Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.), Ayatollah Ramazani said, \u201cSucceeding in divine exams shows that Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) was a pure servant of God. These positions and authorities are due to the worship of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the servant of God brings a person to a place where, with God\u2019s permission, he will be able to do things that normal person cannot,\u201d noted the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cImam is the one who reaches the position of infallibility and has the power of Wilayah and possession. An Imam can revive the dead with God\u2019s permission. None of the works of an Imam is done independently and everything is done with the permission of God. Without God\u2019s permission, man cannot even move his hand. This point is very important, and we must consider it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people seek healing from Imams. For example, when someone\u2019s child gets sick, they ask Imam Reza (a.s.) for healing. When he is not healed, they turn back from Imam (a.s.). It is not correct that we lower the level of the Imam to heal diseases. Healing the sick, if they consider it appropriate, is only one of the abilities of Imams (a.s.),\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added.<\/p>\n

\u201cImams have come to revive the hearts, minds, and thoughts of people. We should seek help from our Imams in such matters. Because they did not come to raise the dead. Rather, they have come to revive the dead hearts and reform the morals of humanity,\u201d said the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan was created for eternity, and he must create his eternity with his actions and behavior,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome are happy that only love and affection for the Imams (a.s.) is enough. Loving the AhlulBayt (a.s.) is obligatory, but this love must be placed alongside obeying them and doing righteous deeds,\u201d reminded the representative of the people of Gilan in the assembly of leadership experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Quran, the two principles of faith and righteous deeds are placed together. Faith without righteous deeds, and righteous deeds without faith are not acceptable to God. In this regard, there are many Quranic verses that should be considered. Today, there is this view that \u201cwe have faith, but we do not pray and do not fast!\u201d While it is not acceptable and everything is important in its own place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must go to Hajj and Karbala pilgrimage and fulfill the obligatory orders of our religion (Islam) so that we can hold the hands of thousands of poor people and solve the problems of the youth. Those who have no faith do not spend money on any good work. The benefactors have followed their religious obligations so that they have success in helping others,\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe correct understanding of righteous action is very important. If someone wants to enjoin good and forbid the bad, he must consider time, place, and other conditions. A good deed must be done correctly to be effective. We must learn the etiquette of everything,\u201d added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n

While referring to another part of the sayings of Imam Reza (a.s.), Ramazani said, \u201cWhen we do a good deed, we should not forget the attention, love, and submission to the AhlulBayt (a.s.). God guides us to follow Imams and Prophets and shows the truth of his monotheism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLove for the AhlulBayt (a.s.) will lead to the love of God. If we want to repent, it must be accepted by AhlulBayt (a.s.),\u201d Ayatollah Ramazani stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove for AhlulBayt (a.s.) must be accompanied by obedience and righteous actions. Love and obedience to AhlulBayt (a.s.) must be attached to each other. In relation to Imam Mahdi (a.s.), the three important principles of knowledge, love, and obedience should be considered,\u201d said the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts at the end of his speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
