RNA – Speaking at a ceremony marking the commemoration of Imam al-Husayn at the ‎Imam al-Husayn Islamic Cultural Centre in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz, Ayatollah ‎Abbas Ka’bi argued that the tenth day of the month of Muharram is a fateful and historic day ‎in the life of humankind in general and in the mission of Islam in particular and noted, “The ‎movement of the ‘Master of the Martyrs’ is a human, rooted, civilizational, reformational, ‎peaceful, moral, educational, jihadi, adaptable to all periods, eternal, complete and is being ‎exported. It inspires awakeness, victory, support for the oppressed and fighting against ‎oppression in all ages.”‎

The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom said that we must understand the ‎meaning, concepts, and principles of Imam al-Husayn’s movement, added, “Freedom from ‎ignorance, corruption and the acquisition of power and its application to confront the ‎enemies can be clearly seen in Imam al-Husayn’s movement.”‎

Referring to the fact that serving Imam al-Husayn is not limited to mourning ceremonies, he ‎said, “Guiding and protecting people, resolving needs, removing that which is detested and ‎distancing oneself from problems at the current time is service to Imam al-Husayn, who ‎brings together all tribes, races and ethnicities.”

Ayatollah Ka’bi described Imam al-Husayn as belonging to all the free people of the world ‎and said, “The Wahhabis are the Kharijites of the time, the oppressors of Muhammad and ‎his family and the followers of the Umayyad line, so we must, in addition to following the ‎Master of the Martyrs, disassociate from the Umayyads of today – Daesh and the Takfiris of ‎Wahhabism and those supported by the House of Saud.”

The representative of the people of Khuzestan in the Assembly of Experts continued, “The ‎flag of Imam al-Husayn is the flag of the defence of human rights, progress, the ‎advancement of humanity, the salvation of mankind from the darkness of ignorance, ‎corruption and oppression. If the school of this noble man is the school of jihad, chivalry, ‎martyrdom, resistance, mercy, divine vastness, jurisprudence, divine law and interaction with ‎mankind with love and affection is the source of divine favour, forgiveness and the gate of ‎the salvation of Islam.”‎

In another part of his speech, he described an Islamic government, stating, “Such a ‎government is for the people and by the people and they must endure the problems and ‎solve them and be prudent in serving the people.”‎

Ayatollah Ka’bi called for the attention of the federal and provincial government officials to ‎solve the problems of unemployment, costliness, discrimination, poverty and ignorance ‎facing the Iranian people and said, “Most of our problems are not related to sanctions and ‎the United States but are the result of the mismanagement and the weakness of the officials. ‎The Messenger of God [Muhammad] also states in a hadith that ‘fear comes from ‎imprudence, not poverty.’”‎

His Eminence identified the enemies’ plans, preparedness for jihad and the support of the ‎Islamic Resistance Axis are other sources that can be learned from the school of Imam al-‎Husayn.‎
