Rasa – Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i strongly criticized the provision of the factional and political interests of the authorities over issues which benefit the public. RNA – During his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala’s Holy Shrine of Imam al-Husayn, Hujjat al-Islam Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbala’i said, “The provision of personal and factional interests and benefits over issues of public interest is a sign of the destruction of society.”
The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala emphasized the necessity of favouring others and stated, “Interests are divided into two parts: personal and public. Sometimes we speak of civil rights, and sometimes we are asking for the examination of tribal, religious, ethnic, religious, and political interests.”
Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i said, “Giving attention to personal interests is an inherent problem of every human being but when it comes to the problem of preferring personal matters to the interests of others and not thinking of anything and anyone but one’s own interests, this type of thinking is not at all correct and the most dangerous state is when we want to obtain that which benefits us personally by harming others.”
