The representative of Khuzestan in the Assembly of Experts said, “In Islam, the goal isn’t to gain power – power is a means of material and spiritual service and securing the religion and material world of the people.” RNA – In a meeting with the students of Tehran’s Dar al-Salam Seminary held at the Imam Khomeyni Educational and Research Institute in Qom, Ayatollah Abbas Ka’bi, the representative of the people of Khuzestan province in the Assembly of Experts, referred to the importance of religious propagation and missionary work based on the Holy Quran, saying, “By using the Holy Quran and a sense of responsibility, intelligence and insight, Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky was able to invite many young people to religion and to Islam [in Nigeria].”
The member of the Assembly of Experts said. “Today, international propagation, the expression of Islamic truths in the language of intuition and the worldwide dissemination of the message of Islam are among the needs of the Islamic Seminaries today.”
He stated, “Today, solving world problems and facing global difficulties, such as the insecurity crises, morality crises, family crises, the crises of poverty, class discrimination, injustice, global oppression and criminal action, result from the hegemonic and arrogant system. This can be realized through the rebuilding of the Islamic ummah and the guidance of the divine leadership and the discourse of Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Resistance.”
Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “The problems of humanity at the global level are rooted in the tyrannical rule of the United States and international Zionism. The Islamic Revolution was the light that shone on the contemporary world to remove the oppression and darkness of modern ignorance. The Islamic Revolution paves the way for the universal sovereignty of the righteous leadership and the merciful government of Imam al-Mahdi.”
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom added, “Today, one of the most important issues in the world for the spread of religion is the mastery of international languages, especially Arabic and English. Today, one of the needs in the field is the answering of religious questions, theological issues and values.”
He continued, “The Islamic Revolution has had many blessings, including the introduction of Shi’ism to the Islamic world. In the past, no one knew about the Shi’ahs, but today, Shi’ahs have been introduced in the shadow of the Islamic Revolution. The Islamic Seminaries must embark this path and fulfill their mission of spreading religious beliefs and introducing Shi’ism to the world.”
Ayatollah Ka’bi emphasized that in Islam government is formed to fulfill the mission of divine prophets – that is, create order and security, improving people’s livelihoods, combat poverty, corruption, discrimination, pursue social justice, guide and promote ethics and restore public rights and legitimate freedoms based on trust.
His Eminence added, “In Islam, the goal isn’t to gain power – power is a means of material and spiritual service and securing the religion and material world of the people.”
Referring to the mission of the clergy, Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “The clergy must carry out their historical mission to deepen the teachings of Islam, fight heresies, deviations and promote the Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution and defend the rights of the people.”
