RNA – In a speech, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad-Taqi al-Modarresi, an Iraqi source of emulation, “We thank the people who are trying to control the Coronavirus but this isn’t enough and everyone should be trying to control this evil virus.”
His Eminence said, “One of the reasons for the spread of this virus in Iraq, despite the closure of borders and curfews, is the failure of officials to provide the essential needs of the people to prevent this virus and the lack of cooperation and empathy of the people in dealing with this virus.”
Ayatollah al-Modarresi further stated, “Purity and cleanliness is one of the traditions of God and God loves clean and pure people, and this means that all filth should be avoided, whether in a social position that includes cleanliness of the environment or in the individual position which includes the purification of the body, clothes and the place of worship from any impurity and pollution.”
He further emphasized the social dimension, and added, “It’s necessary to keep our environment and community free from contamination and viruses and to pay special attention to cleanliness and purity by using a mask when leaving the house and using disinfectant solutions.”
Ayatollah al-Modarresi also stated, “Maintaining social cleanliness can only be achieved through the cooperation and observance of all people and we must distance ourselves from some recommended things such as visiting, attending weddings and other matters because these things are in conflict with preserving one’s soul and life, and we should think about communicating with each other through social networks and feeding the needy, instead of setting up a party where dozens of people are likely to get infected.”
