RNA – Speaking on Rasa News Agency’s special “Virtual Minbar” program, Ayatollah Abbas ‎Ka’bi, a prominent teacher in the Islamic Seminaries of Qom, offered his congratulations on ‎the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan and explained the importance of this blessed ‎month of fasting and prayer and described it as “the month of self-cultivation, tahajjud (night ‎prayer), enlightenment with the Quran, worship, night vigil and a great opportunity for self-‎development.”‎

The representative of the people of Khuzestan province in the Assembly of Experts ‎considered the holy month of Ramadan as a valuable opportunity to demonstrate the ‎civilized manifestations of Islam in order for human beings to reach the peak of perfection ‎based on self-control and self-cultivation by strengthening their relationship with God.‎

Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “It has been narrated that you should not say that Ramadan came and ‎Ramadan went. This narration refers to the fact that we should not underestimate the holy ‎month of Ramadan and be prepared for this month in advance.”‎

His Eminence added, “This month is the month of the feast of God and naturally the feast of ‎God means that man is in the presence of God and reaches the highest point.”‎

He emphasized, “In terms of instinct, nature and disposition, man is between two infinities, ‎one of which infinitely brings man to the brink of savagery and even higher than the ‎threshold of savagery and the other infinite brings man to the peak of excellence, evolution ‎and growth.”‎

Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “If man doesn’t have a program of self-control, he will certainly be ‎inferior to animals. Liberal civilization in the contemporary world demonstrates the spirit of ‎man minus God in spite of the seemingly civilized savages. The holy month of Ramadan is ‎an opportunity for us to demonstrate the civilized manifestations of Islam in order for ‎human beings to reach the peak of perfection based on self-control and self-cultivation in ‎the contemporary world.”‎
