‎ ‎
The renowned source of emulation emphasized that the Mahdavi Society must make use of ‎the opportunity to propagate religion and said, “If the Infallible Imams said that ‎opportunities must be taken advantage of and the 15th of Sha’ban‎ is an opportunity where ‎truthful material must be expressed.”‎

Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani ‎continued, “Propagating religion requires a means and in God created ‎a means for this on the 15th of Sha’ban and the clergy must make use of these ‎opportunities.”‎
‎ ‎
The teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom ‎said, “It’s the duty of the clergy to guard the ‎people.

‎ ‎
He emphasized that the benefactors must also be involved in the 15th of Sha’ban ‎‎celebrations and stated, “Charity will help in this regard. In regard to the recent flood, the ‎people and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have assisted the flood victims. ‎The people of Iran are a noble people who not only gave their property for the Ahl al-Bayt ‎but also their lives.”‎

Referring to verses from the Holy Quran, Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani said, “God Almighty says in ‎the Holy Quran that at any time, He directs a group of people and we clergy must remind ‎the people and not let them return with empty hands.”‎
