Hujjat al-Islam Moqimi-Haji considered the inability of the American government to provide general items, its weakness in medical care and its theft of other countries’ medical supplies as a sign of the decline of the United States as a superpower. RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Abolqasem Moqimi-Haji, the head of the Religious Encyclopedia Research Institute, that the inability of the government of the United States to provide essential data-x-items in stores and shopping malls, its weakness in medical care and its theft of other countries’ medical supplies are signs of confusion and decline of the United States’ as a superpower
His Eminence added, “The concept of good or desirable governance in the West has been challenged and concepts such as responsibility, participation, public consensus and social self-sacrifice have been forgotten.”
He emphasized, “Westerners have been continuously chanting the slogan of social justice but the culture of materialism has caused the Western governments to lose control of public affairs and services in today’s Coronavirus-stricken world. As far as is reported, young people are fighting with elderly people to survive and ventilators are being taken from the elderly.”
Hujjat al-Islam Moqimi-Haji assessed the Coronavirus-stricken communities in need of self-sacrifice and said, “This is where the attention to the divine power and the saviour of the world is felt. This is an opportunity for the Islamic world and we must seize this opportunity and respond to the need for a moral society.”
His Eminence spoke about the spiritual condition of the people of the world during the post-Coronavirus era, “The global media is a tool for the United States and the West to exercise power in today’s material world. The global arrogance, with its cinematic productions, materialistic messages and false charms leads the people of the world toward a worldview and humanistic thought and to turn away from belief in God.”
He added, “Given the weakness of the power and media facilities among the believers in God, it’s unlikely that we will see a profound change in the world because the dominant discourse in the media is based on atheistic or liberal beliefs.”
Hujjat al-Islam Moqimi-Haji stated about turning the threat of the Coronavirus into an opportunity, “In Islamic culture, we have been taught how to use the opportunities that arise in adversity and this opportunity can be used to humanize, to understand problems, to understand fellow human beings and to strengthen the monotheistic view.”
