On Friday evening, June 3, 2022, at the 28th memorial of the martyrs of Manzaria Mosque, referring to the anniversary of Imam Khomeini and the martyrdom of Ayatollah Ehsanbakhsh, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “The martyrs, ulama, and the Mojahedin of the scientific, provincial and military fields, are students of Imam Khomeini’s school.”
Faraan: “One of the most significant features of Islam, which is often neglected, is the fighting oppression and the resistance front. In the Holy Quran, there are about 400 verses about jihad and resistance, and there is not as many Quranic verses about any other jurisprudential ruling,” added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“There are profound teachings in Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, Du’a Kumayl, Du’a Arafah and other supplications,” he clarified, “300 Quranic verses are about reason, thought and reflection.” “The realization of justice in the individual and social spheres was of the great ideals and aspirations of all the divine prophets,” Ayatollah Ramazani stated.
“Today, some intellectuals, claiming to support absolute peace, seek to remove verses related to jihad and resistance. This thought is dangerous. Islam is peace seeker, provided it is based on justice,” pointed out the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts. “Islam does not endorse the peace that make people to accept oppression. In the West today, a spirituality is promoted that is submissive to oppression, which is a false spirituality,” he added. “Absolute peace means abstaining to fight even those who want to plunder and exploit you, which is not acceptable,” Ayatollah Ramazani added.
“Certainly, Islam is not war monger, and it never seeks to incite war. While it believes that there must be comprehensive preparation scientifically and militarily. Muslims must be prepared in all respects, especially militarily, so that the enemy does not even think of plundering Muslim countries,” he mentioned. “According to the narrations, among those who ask God to return to life after death are martyrs. Realizing the greatness of their place, they ask God to bring them back to life to experience the delight of martyrdom again,” Ayatollah Ramazani clarified, referring to the high and high position of the martyr before God.
Referring to jihad in the Holy Quran, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Experts stated, “One of the types of jihads is the jihad of enlightenment. That is, ulama must stand up to those who raise doubts and distort religion and learn and teach Islam comprehensively. To promote the knowledge of jurisprudence, the general mobilization and Hijrah (journey and migration) are required,” he emphasized, “We need ulama like Ayatollah Rudbari who created religious waves in the province.”
