RNA – In 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, “Political disagreements and conflicts on positions and posts will cause the ‎stability in the country to be shaken and opportunities to serve the people will be lost.”‎

The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala stated that the ‎differences existing in society on various issues, whether between politicians or tribes or ‎others, didn’t produce any results and only led to the failure of the country and added, “It’s ‎time for politicians to wake up from their sleep of negligence and learn from the past and ‎think about the people.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i stated, “When the conflict begins, the two sides will use any ‎means to overcome and defeat their adversaries and, as each of the parties involved has ‎certain facilities, the result will be the weakening of the community.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence ‎stressed that it was necessary to settle the disputes between families, work ‎and society through reconciliation and said, “Politicians must resolve civil conflicts by ‎engaging in sacrifices and the rewards of these sacrifices will be safeguarded for them in the ‎hereafter.”‎
‎ ‎
He stressed upon the necessity of avoiding violence and said, “We hope that dear tribes and ‎our fellow countrymen will pay attention to the order of their affairs and will engage in ‎correct judgement and avoid solving conflicts with power, violence and weapons.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i ‎stated that the disputes and problems must be referred to the ‎shari’ah and the law, “The tribes must know that no one wins in the conflicts and they only ‎lose the opportunity to serve the people.”‎
