Spirituality is not a human invention; its pinnacle must be centered on God. Anything else is but a mirage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Ayatollah Ramazani further noted, \u201cHumanity\u2019s greatest pursuit is to achieve security and stability. Until it attains security, it will not find peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">There are approximately 300 Quranic verses about women<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Referring to the Quran\u2019s focus on women, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, \u201cApproximately 300 verses in the Quran discuss women and issues related to them. There is a chapter (Surah) named after women, as well as chapters named after prominent women in history, such as Surah Maryam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">He pointed out the extremes in perspectives toward women throughout history, stating, \u201cUnfortunately, in various historical periods, women have faced neglect and injustice. Yet, the Almighty God has decreed equal rewards for both men and women, making no distinction between them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cIslam\u2019s view of women, as well as the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s (p.b.u.h) treatment of women, introduces a new discourse aligned with the divine order of creation,\u201d emphasized the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\"><strong>Women in the Quran as Agents of Change and Activism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Addressing extremist perspectives from civilizations like those of ancient China, India, and pre-Islamic Arabia, Ayatollah Ramazani remarked, \u201cFor instance, women in China were denied inheritance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">He underscored the Quranic perspective on women, stating, \u201cA role model like Lady Fatimah (a.s.) provides us with a profound understanding of the status of women and clarifies our duties toward them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cFrom the Qur\u2019anic perspective, women can align themselves with a monotheistic, justice-oriented system and become agents of change, active contributors, and transformative forces,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\"><strong>Martyrs Soleimani and Nasrallah Were Inspired by Lady Fatimah (a.s.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Ayatollah Ramazani highlighted, \u201cThe concept of \u2018Kawthar\u2019 in the Quran, exemplified by the legacy of Lady Fatimah (a.s.), continues to have a profound impact today. Figures like Martyr Soleimani, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, and Sayed Hashem Safieddine are fruits of such ideological framework and the teachings of Lady Fatimah (a.s.).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Stressing the importance of understanding the lifestyle of Lady Fatimah (a.s.), he lamented that many human schools of thought throughout history have failed to regard women as beings with dignity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly explained, \u201cThe Quran portrays humanity as beings with free will. However, during the Ignorance Era (Jahiliyyah), women were denied everything and were treated merely as tools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\"><strong>The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) Revived Women\u2019s Rights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Ayatollah Ramazani stated, \u201cThe Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) revived the rights and status of women. During the Ignorance Era (Jahiliyyah), people would become enraged and distressed upon the birth of daughters, burying them alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cIn history, there were instances where women were excluded from motherhood\u2019s role in raising children and even denied the right to interact socially. In contrast, Islam granted women the right to leadership, education, upbringing, and decision-making,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Ayatollah Ramazani remarked, \u201cIn certain historical periods, women were denied any form of economic ownership or managerial power. Today, however, we see women occupying ministerial positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\"><strong>The Quran Views Women\u2019s Virtue in Modesty, Purity, and Chastity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cThe Quran regards women\u2019s virtue in their modesty, purity, and chastity. It views immodesty and impiety as deviations from the path of perfection. Our holy book, Quran, contains numerous verses addressing this issue,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Ayatollah Ramazani expressed, \u201cIn contemporary family life, unfortunately, even minor issues lead to disputes. However, in the life of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Lady Fatimah (a.s.), there was not a single instance of discord because an ideological framework prevented it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly concluded, \u201cIslam elevated the status of women. Women, through raising generations at home and contributing outside the home, can lead society toward security and well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Lastly, he reflected on the relationship between Lady Fatimah (a.s.) and the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), asserting, \u201cLady Fatimah (a.s.) had a unique position for the Prophet (p.b.u.h), earning her the title of \u2018The Mother of Her Father\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">**************<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">End\/ 345<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The representative of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts, speaking about the status of women in the Quran, stated that there are approximately 300 Quranic verses about women.
