RNA – During his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in ‎the Iraqi holy city of Karbala’s Holy Shrine of Imam al-Husayn, Hujjat al-Islam Abdul-Mahdi ‎al-Karbala’i said, “The movement of Imam al-Husayn has taught us that Islam is not just the ‎performance of acts of worship and religious rituals.”‎

The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala added, “If we discuss ‎and analyse the lifestyle and the movement of the ‘Master of the Martyrs’ we will recognize ‎that authentic and Husayni Islam emphasizes the struggle of the believing man and the ‎Islamic ummah against deviation and misguidance and defends it against the great dangers ‎that exist during the present time.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i stated, “Many personalities in the history of Islam, who enjoyed a ‎special status in terms of age, knowledge and worship, remained in the corners of their ‎homes due to the dangers that threatened the Islamic ummah and didn’t played a role in ‎assisting Imam al-Husayn.”‎

The trustee of Holy Shrine of Imam al-Husayn added, “Those who stood with complete ‎courage against the Daesh Takfiri terrorist phenomenon and fought against them with their ‎money and their lives, in fact, they have resorted to the movement of Imam Husayn. Such ‎individuals have preferred religious interests to personal, worldly and family interests.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i emphasized that mankind must study the foundations of the ‎movement of Imam al-Husayn and see how they can be a true Husayni.‎
