Rasa – The international cultural activist stated that Imam Khomeyni gave a new life to the Islamic ummah and considered the revival of the Islamic jurisprudence system, the power of the Ummah of Islam and religious rationality as among the blessings of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. RNA – Speaking at the sixth session of the series of political and insightful meetings that was held to mark the fortieth anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution at Qom’s Chahar Mardan Mosque, Hujjat al-Islam Dr. Soheil Asaad, an Argentinian cultural and religious activist in the international arena, offered his congratulations on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and said, “The divine hand manages the Islamic Revolution and the Iranian nation.”
The convert to Islam added, “The phenomenon of the Islamic Revolution is not a normal phenomenon. Today, more than 50,000 from all over the world are studying in Qom and familiar with the effects of the Revolution. Today, those who previously had no knowledge of Islam are interested in Islam and even some become Shi’ah clerics and promote religion in foreign countries.”
Hujjat al-Islam Asaad referred to the situation of the Islamic world before and after the Islamic Revolution and said, “At that time, the situation of Islam and Muslims in foreign countries was very unsuitable and there was no access to proper information on Islamic knowledge. Also, Muslims didn’t have any rights or status in foreign countries.”
He continued, “The late Imam [Khomeyni] gave the Islamic ummah a new life with the Islamic Revolution. The purpose of the mission of the prophets was to revive the divine traditions that lead to the life of the society. The late Imam was able to give life in various dimensions to the people of Iran and the Islamic ummah.”
Hujjat al-Islam Asaad added that the revival of religious rationality was one of the great achievements of the Islamic Revolution and noted, “The West portrays faith as blind adherence, whereas the Revolution and pure Islam are the cause of religious rationality such that if mankind doesn’t use reason, he cannot be a true believer.”
