RNA – Speaking on June 30th at the conference of Friday prayer leaders of Khorasan Razavi province, Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Alamolhoda referred to the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and said, “The spread of this virus is contingent on the gatherings and we have to be careful in this regard, we cannot say that this disease exists and we hold our gatherings every month.”
The representative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] in Khorasan Razavi province said, “It shouldn’t be like this and it isn’t to say that Friday prayers won’t be held and therefore, we have nothing to do, but our work has increased in different social spaces and online.”
Ayatollah Alamolhoda added, “We are the servants of Imam al-Mahdi and we must serve the Imam of the Time at all times. We should not say that because Friday prayers mustn’t held, the problems and issues of the people are no longer relevant to us, this is disrespectful to the service of Imam al-Mahdi.”
His Eminence said, “In a situation where gatherings on the streets have been cancelled, we must do our best to expand our work in various ways and not allow Islam and the Islamic Revolution to be harmed.”
He stated, “One of the things we must do in this situation is to divide the power of the Friday prayer leaders between the mosques of the city so that all the people are in touch with their Friday prayer leader.”
In conclusion, Ayatollah Alamolhoda added, “We are the servants of Imam al-Mahdi, so we must raise ourselves in all circumstances and under any circumstances for the better service of Imam al-Mahdi.”
