RNA – Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, the Secretary-General of the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly, ‎issued a message on the occasion of Ramadan 1441 AH.‎

The message is as follows:‎

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ

‎“The month of Ramadan is one in which the Quran was sent down as guidance to mankind, with ‎manifest proofs of guidance and the Criterion.” (2:185)‎

To the honourable members of the general assembly, associates and all those who are ‎related to the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly worldwide.‎

as-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,‎

It is my honour to offer the best congratulations to you on the occasion of the most ‎blessed and the most virtuous month of Ramadan.‎

Ramadan al-Mubarak is the spring of the Quran, the month of mercy and remission, the ‎month of the divine feast‏ ‏and the spring for the worshippers.‎

I hope all of us would be able to appreciate the spirituality and blessed days and nights of ‎this month, and use them to the best of our ability and take a step towards God’s pleasure, ‎as Imam Ali said about appreciating the opportunity,‎

الْفُرْصَةُ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ فَانْتَهِزُوا فُرَصَ الْخَيْر
‎(Opportunity passes away like the cloud. Therefore, make use of good opportunities) ‎
‎(Nahj al-Balaghah, Wisdom 20)‎

For the sake of the precious man of this month, Imam Ali, the martyr of justice, I also ‎humbly ask God to remove the hardships of the Islamic ummah. Especially those of the ‎oppressed people of Yemen, Muslims in Kashmir and India, the oppressed Shi’ahs of ‎Bahrain, Saudi Arabia‏ ‏and displaced Palestinians and all deprived people in Syria, Lebanon, ‎Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and so on.‎

Relief of the patients, the consolation of those who lost their loved ones, victory over the ‎evil and complicated Coronavirus, are other wishes which we ask God to meet them in this ‎holy month.‎

In this great month, by God’s grace, we hope that all Islamic countries would be secure, in ‎peace, prosperous, and we would witness the strengthening of the bonds of unity and ‎friendship among all nations and the expansion of world peace and lasting security and ‎removing oppression and discrimination in the world.‎

سُبْحَانَ رَبّك رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ؛ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِين؛ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِين‏

Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to ‎Him)! And Peace on the messengers! And Praise to God, the Lord and Cherisher of the ‎Worlds.‎
