The renowned teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom stressed that the infallible Imams are the treasurers of divine secrets and said, “Bearing the secrets of religion needs a heart which is a container of truth and pay their price.” RNA – Speaking at a Muharram mourning ceremony held at Qom’s Feyziyeh Seminary, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad-Mahdi Mirbaqeri said, “As mentioned in the Holy Quran, أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ ‘those who were given knowledge’ are those who engaged in private counsel with the Prophet Muhammad and have taken the secrets of divine planning from him and they must be central to the thinking and plans of the believers.”
The head of the Islamic Sciences Academy in Qom said that the hypocrites engaged in private counsel with the Prophet in order to gain social status, said, “If the gatherings of the believers aren’t focused on ‘those who were given knowledge,’ the gathering will become the gathering of the whispering of the devils.”
Ayatollah Mirbaqeri stated that the Prophet Muhammad transferred the secrets of the formation of the Islamic society to Imam Ali and stated, “Bearing the secrets of religion needs a heart which is a container of truth and pay their price.”
The representative of the people of Alborz province in the Assembly of Experts referred to the abrogated command in the Holy Quran regarding giving charity in order to engage in private counsel with the Prophet and said, “The command to give charity is meant to separate ‘those who were given knowledge’ and the bearers of the secrets of religion from others.”
He said, “Under difficult circumstances, the infallible Imam can change everything with one supplication but because he is the treasurer of the secrets of God, he is patient.”
Ayatollah Mirbaqeri stated that narrations regarding the end days are secret and incomprehensible and said, “The arrogant powers have established various academic centres to understand Shi’ah eschatology.”
