The seminary and university teacher said that Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky transformed Africa and said, “Unfortunately, that some Iranians politicians haven’t taken any stance against oppression and are silent regarding the oppression of the arrogant powers.” RNA – Speaking at a conference entitled “Supporting Shaykh Zakzaky, Nigeria’s Oppressed Leader” held at Tehran’s Imam Reza Seminary on January 1st, Hujjat al-Islam Alireza Panahian, a seminary and university teacher, said, “The ‘global village’ and the integration of global systems is an issue that has been discussed for several years.”
The renowned lecturer added that the United States considers the Islamic Resistance throughout the world as the greatest obstacle to attacking Iran and said, “Iran’s security is guaranteed by the intellectual and spiritual bond between Islamic societies.”
He pointed out that foreign countries are investing in cultural domination in other countries and added, “The first step of saving Shaykh Zakzaky must be provided, otherwise we will be harmed and this is a divine promise. We must not be indifferent to the Islamic world and the people of the world.”
Hujjat al-Islam Panahian emphasized that some Iranians politicians haven’t taken any stance against oppression and this can be seen in their one-year diplomatic silence regarding the Yellow Vests’ demonstrations against capitalism in France and said, “According to the commands of the late Imam [Khomeyni], the neglect of the authorities in regard to exporting the Islamic Revolution is a betrayal of the revolution. The authorities must not neglect to awaken the nations.”
His Eminence said Shaykh Zakzaky is a role model for the freedom-seekers of the world and noted, “The Islamic Revolution of Iran was the beginning of a movement to establish a world government and therefore, the authorities’ failure to pursue this issue is a betrayal.”
He stated that we are ashamed of Shaykh Zakzaky suffering and said, “Ultimately, hardships and illness didn’t stop him from resisting. If he yields to the Nigerian government right now, his situation will change. Despite the economic and financial hardships that the scholars and seminarians are currently facing, they will never over take struggles and efforts of Shaykh Zakzaky.”
Emphasizing that Shaykh Zakzaky transformed Africa, Hujjat al-Islam Panahian said, “With the hardships that exist in Africa, transformation requires the perseverance, spirituality and tenderness that Shaykh Zakzaky was able to bring to Nigeria with these characteristics.”
In conclusion, he stressed, “The enemies know that if Shaykh Zakzaky was able to be active freely, he would wake up the whole of Africa. For this reason, they are striving hard to convert the African people to Christianity. The authorities are shouting about the oppression and efforts of Shaykh Zakzaky throughout the world.”
Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Ibrahim Zakzaky is an imprisoned outspoken and prominent Shi’ah Muslim leader in Nigeria. He is the head of the Islamic Movement, of Nigeria, a movement that he founded in the late 1970s.
