Ayatollah Arafi stated that Coronavirus was a trigger for human beings and said, “We consider this tribulation to be unfortunate for human beings and we would never choose it for any human being. All human beings must treat this tribulation and other social anomalies, we must follow the medical and health laws and seek to solve the problem.” RNA – In his Friday sermon which was broadcast online due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) epidemic, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi referred to doubts about the relationship between material causes and trans-natural and supernatural causes and said, “The events that occur in the world have different factors from good and bad and bitterness and sweetness.”
The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran stated that Coronavirus was a trigger for human beings and said, “We consider this tribulation to be unfortunate for human beings and we would never choose it for any human being. All human beings must treat this tribulation and other social anomalies, we must follow the medical and health laws and seek to solve the problem.”
He said, “At the same time, human beings and the Western currents are making progress today, but on the other hand, it’s the oppression and misery that they have created for human beings and it’s the place where Coronavirus has awoken the world, the elites and the powers of the world. This tribulation can uncover the persistent pain of humanity.”
Ayatollah Arafi said that distancing oneself from God and spirituality, giving authenticity to materialism and the natural world, giving authenticity to the economy and prosperity, spreading corruption and oppression in the world, unleashing coercive and colonial powers over several centuries and plundering resources and the interests of the underprivileged, discriminating, imposing sanctions, occupying, assassinating, racism, huge military expenditures and the aggression of Western powers are some of these diseases.”
The member of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminaries added, “Today, Westerners themselves must fight and there is conflict within the European Union. Disregard for the elderly and the value of human beings have also seen during the Coronavirus epidemic.
The contradictions between [US President Donald] Trump and others, their superstitions and the taunting and false propaganda against Iran have also been seen during the Coronavirus epidemic. They created propaganda but they themselves felt that they were ridiculed. Doesn't man need to reconsider his behaviour?”
Ayatollah Arafi stated that Coronavirus was a trigger for human awakening and said, “The Coronavirus was also a wake-up call for the Iranian nation as a pioneer of a great revolution and taught us to stand on our own two feet and trust our experiences.”
He continued, “In the context of the Coronavirus in Iraq, these oppressors are shouting and making an uproar and showing their grip on a nation that the Americans openly terrorized but they must know that the Iraqi nation and government will not surrender, the Iranian people and the Islamic Resistance Axis will stand on its own two feet and the heroic city of Qom will be a pioneer in this direction. We must learn important lessons from this event for spiritual upliftment and divine leaps and return to the authentic civilization.”
