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, “Mankind has human dignity that God has preferred over all creatures in the ‎universe. Thus, this human dignity must be respected in society.”‎

The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala added that the ‎degradation of social status is in contradiction to the necessity of maintaining human dignity, ‎which is emphasized by the religion of Islam. Therefore, human dignity must be protected, ‎despite religious and social differences.‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i stated that the reverence of the believer is higher than the ‎reverence of the Ka’bah and said, “Those who are seeking to destabilize the social status of ‎various people have been disturbed in religious, moral and cultural issues. Attempts to ‎destabilize the social status of different individuals will spark disputes and internal conflicts in ‎society.”‎

His Eminence emphasized that the destabilization of the social status of individuals in any ‎society that is composed of different religions, sects and cultures is very dangerous.‎

He stated, “Due to the expansion of communicative facilities, the process of belittling various ‎personalities has been accelerated such that it has become very abnormal. Such actions ‎have a lot of negative effects in society. Therefore, the religious, social, and moral aspects ‎of society must be repaired. The destabilization and destruction of the dignity and position ‎of human beings in any way is forbidden in Islam.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i said, “Unfortunately, we are witnessing the belittling of various ‎personalities on the internet and the perpetrators of such actions must be held accountable ‎to God Almighty on the Day of Judgement. The people must be careful about the content ‎that they publish online.”‎
