RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi stated that one of the main reasons for the uprising of Imam Husayn (A) was to revive the divine commandment to enjoin the good and to forbid the wrong. In order to carry out this divinely ordained act, must first recognize the threats and damages and based on the priorities of enjoining and forbidding understand why this wrong action was done in society.

His Eminence stressed that the aim of the reestablishment of this divine statute which is obligatory upon all mankind and all Muslims is bring back to the right path all those who have neglected their religious duties. In effort to restore the dignity of those involved in deviation from their human and Islamic identity is one of the goals of enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong.

He added that the youth are often the main victims of Islamic identity change, especially in relation to clothing and personal styles, social relationships and films. It is always necessary that they reform and return to their original Islamic identity. Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stressed that enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong is a continuous and ongoing task which must be constantly taken care of as part of our efforts to revitalize all of society.

Linking enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong to the incident of Karbala, Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi explained that on the fields of Karbala a critical juncture of the confrontation between right and wrong took place. This battle took place less than fifty years after the Prophet Muhammad’s (S) passing. In those few years, the Islamic society had gone completely astray and their selfish desires led them to commit the worst massacre in history against the people of the Household of the Prophet (S).

Furthermore, His Eminence noted the Iraqi military victories on the battlefield against Takfiri terrorists and added that the Syrian army has also achieved significant victories against these brutal terrorist factions, as has Hezbollah in Lebanon. This was done with the help of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi criticized Turkey's open support of Takfiri terrorism against the people of Syria as part of their plan to re-establish an empire along the lines of the Ottoman Empire. Due to this, the Erdoğan regime is supporting dubious factions and terrorist organizations, without paying attention to the consequences and the disastrous results of their behaviour.

The trustee of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah (S) expressed the hope that these Turkish politicians come to their senses before it is too late, and emphasized that Turkey will burn with the fire sparked by its provision of a safe haven for terrorists and stated that their propaganda against Muslim unity would not work but would have dire consequences for Muslims.
