Rasa – The head of the Jurisprudential Centre of the Pure Imams said that traversing the path of the knowledge of God is impossible without knowing the Ahlul-Bayt, in particular Lady Fatimah al-Zahra. RNA – Speaking during a poetry ceremony marking the Days of Fatimiyyah in Qom, Ayatollah Mohammad-Javad Fazel-Lankarani, a teaching in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, referred to the importance and value of promoting the Days of Fatimiyyah and stressed, “One of the ceremonies which is considered as the sustenance of God for the lovers of the Ahlul-Bayt is the gathering of tears, eulogies and poetry.”
The head of the Jurisprudential Centre of the Pure Imams referred to the important points in relation to the religious poets and said, “Undoubtedly, reading and listening to poetry about the Ahlul-Bayt has great rewards and is considered a valuable reserve for the Day of Judgement but the eulogists of the Ahlul-Bayt and the eulogists must pay special attention to the actual teachings and knowledge of the Pure Imams.”
Ayatollah Fazel-Lankarani stated the existence of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra as an unique existence and said, “The lovers of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra will be in separate line on the Day of Judgement and this is an honour for all of us and we must protect it.”
His Eminence stated, “The Days of Fatimiyyah is of such great importance that throughout the past dozens of years, our great sources of emulation who are elderly have marched on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra to revive this divine tradition. Therefore, we must know that knowing God without knowing the Ahlul-Bayt and Lady Fatimah al-Zahra isn’t possible.”
Ayatollah Fazel-Lankarani referred to the position of the Days of Fatimiyyah in increasing the monotheistic spirit in man and said, “Those who object to the revival of the mourning for the Ahlul-Bayt and the ceremonies in commemorating of them, which they regard as idolatry or polytheism, are truly ignorant people who don’t perceive the true existence of the Ahlul-Bayt because we a hadith (narration) from [Imam Muhammad al-Baqir] which states: ‘God is angry when Fatimah is angry and pleased when she is pleased’ and due to the blessings of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra, the Shi’ahs have found value and importance.”
