Esra news agency: Hojjat-ul-Islam wa-Muslimin Morteza Javadi Amoli met with the professors and students of seminary school Imam Hassan Askari-Amol on Monday and gave lecture for them.
In this speech, Hojjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen Morteza Javadi Amoli, referring to the Fatimid days, stated, "The story of Hazrat Zahra (P.B.U.H) is a very wonderful and strange story. It is not a history. It is a world of events that we should not only know its history, but the theological, jurisprudential political, social aspect deeply.
He stated, "That events were the most serious events in the history of Islam after Ali bin Abi Talib has been elected by Allah and his governorship. On this occasion, I would like to make one point so today we can understand the mission of the Howzeh more.
"Howzeh should conduct research on religious issues and find out what comes from the Allah Almighty as the religion, understand it well, present it well, and then publish and promote it. If we want to pay attention to the mission of Howzeh today, we must pay attention to its two main and fundamental orders. One aspect is important and the other aspect is more important." He said.
He continued, "The important direction is that we find a proper and correct jurisprudential, understanding of religion. Therefore, the primary mission of Howzeh is the jurisprudential understanding of religion and understanding this religion is not so easy ﴿إِنَّا سَنُلْقی عَلَیكَ قَوْلاً ثَقیلا﴾ Indeed soon We shall cast on you a weighty word 73/5. It is not for a normal person to have a deep understanding from Islam and allow himself to talk about the religion. This fact should be instituted as a culture and as a principle and value in our society.
He stated, "The prime of Howzeh is to reach a well-made community that can provide a comprehensive understanding in all scientific and religious aspects.
He further stated, "The most important issue that Howzeh should address is the protection of the religion from misinterpretation, misunderstanding, deviation and distortion. We may find a correct understanding of religion, but deviations, distortions, misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and things like these are exploding and tearing this religion apart. Protecting the religion and religious culture and preventing these evils and deviations from happening in the field of religion is a very important and fundamental task. Howzeh now, should be focused on this matter more than ever."
Hojjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen Morteza Javadi Amoli stated that we should learn from the story of Hazrat Zahra, he stated, "We should learn from the story of Hazrat Zahra (P.B.U.H), because in that story from the moment the Prophet (P.B.U.H) passed away, this issue showed up. Not only in social and political issues but also in cultural, religious and scientific issues related to the religion and religious understanding. The society has completely distanced itself from its principle and the society has a misunderstanding and it suffered a deviation and a big distortion. The damages Until now continues.
For matching these two missions and its connection with Hazrat Zahra (P.B.U.H) he said, "After the death of the beloved Prophet of Islam, many incidents happened. The most serious incident is the oppression against the Imamate and the usurpation of the Caliphate of Ali bin Abi Talib (P.B.U.H). The death of the beloved Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H) was so heavy that Hazrat Zahra (P.B.U.H) did not last more than 75 days or 95 days, and during these 75 days, her house was the house of grief, the house of crying and tears, the house of sorrow. These events are about the house of the one whom the beloved Messenger of Islam used to greet that house and family every morning, and called out to them «السلام علیکم یا اهل بیت النبوة» "Peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt-ul-Nabawa". With such high rank and with such respect the event turned it to such state. They burned the door of the house. Attacked the door of the house. These events are so heartbreaking, it cannot be written and expressed.
He continued, "After the events that happened, Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her) was in a sick bed. People used to come and visit her. The first person who came to visit her was Umm Salma and said, "How did you pass your night? O, the daughter of the Messenger of God!". Hazrat Zahra answered, "I passed the last night in sadness and sorrow. The Prophet is gone and his successor is oppressed. Swear by Allah the respect of one whose leadership is taken is violated; and it is against what Allah ordered in what he descended. Also, against what Prophet explained in in his interpretation. But This happened because of the grudge of the battles of Ohod and Badr which is hidden in the heart of hypocrites." Who did this happen to? For a lady who was, in fact, all of Islam. The lady had such a high rank was so great, the beloved Prophet of Islam had outstanding sentences about her. "But Fatimah is a part of me. So, whosoever makes annoy her, it annoys me. Whoever make her happy it makes me happy" prophet said. Also, "Indeed, Allah would be angry because of the anger of Fatimah and be pleased by her happiness". That is, the status of Zahra Marziyya (peace be upon her). It is not a human status. She considered to be related to divine status, and her harassment is considered the harassment of the Prophet and God, and her satisfaction is considered the satisfaction of God. But a society, a government, with the claim of being religious put the Zahra Marzieh (peace be upon her) which is the symbol of Islam, is in such state. what are you doing? The pilar of religion is Zahra Marzieh (peace be upon her) is in the house of sadness. she took the hands of Hassan and Hussain and goes to Baqi' to cry. This is what has happened. A stream has come as religious people, caliphs, successors of the Prophet, they are claimants of religion, and they consider themselves the owners of religion, with a large part of the society has converted to them. People had followed them as the leaders of religion, participated in their prayers, and participated in their meetings. People of that time gave religious respect to such caliphs, gave them religious name and titles, Caliph of God! Caliph of the Prophet!
Professor Morteza Javadi Amoli then stated, "If we remove religion from its original position, where the Prophet's family are, the Ahl al-Bayt are, we would have a second religion next to the original religion, which is Ali and Zahra (peace be upon them). If there would be another reading and we let that religion come, and be accepted as religion, as a divine command, this would be a violation of the religion itself!! We experienced such a problem in the era of Hazrat Zahra and Ali (peace be upon them) and this trend continued during the Umayyads, Marwanians, Abbasids for thousand years. What actually came and polluted the religion like this, was the misunderstanding. It created a misunderstanding and such a deviation it continued until the Abbasid period and even the time of Imam Hasan Askari (peace be upon him) and Imam Zaman.
He said, "I narrated this history because this deviation was not stopped from the beginning and Zahra (peace be upon her) said in her statement, men of the society have become lazy, you have become weak. Those movements that at the beginning of my father's presence in Madinah you have done ad Mohajir and Ansar is gone. you don't have that power. Greed and aristocracy surround you and you are in such state.
Hojjat-ul-Islam wal-Muslimin Morteza Javadi Amoli concluded, "The most vulnerable for deviation in religion is when it makes peace with power. Powe transforms religion in any way it wants. See, they treated Hazrat Zahra Marziyeh (peace be upon her) in such a way that they stood in front of Zahra Marziyya (peace be upon her) with a hadith of the Prophet, "Nahnu Ma'asher al-Anbiyya". They used the Hadith of Prophet which said if someone does not come to the congregational prayer, they can burn his house and set it on fire. They entered the house of Fatima and Ali Ibn Aboutaleb with such justifications. Where does this come from? With the missuse of such hadith, Hussain bin Ali was martyred in Karbala. In the same way, from the hadiths and the verses of Qur'an, they have put Qur'an on the spears in Seffein and such events until now.
Morteza Javadi Amoli, professor of university and Howzeh stated, "the serious issue is if religion is not protected from misinterpretations, misunderstandings, deviations and distortions, the religion will reach such a state that the biggest and most fatal strikes to religion would be from these deviations. Power has a very serious role for damaging the religion.
In explaining the duties of Howzeh, he stated, "Howzeh should equip themselves to stand against religion to go out of moderation, stand against incorrect understandings. I mean not the position that protect and immune the power. This is the power and the government that immodest people of Saqifa created; they have used religion in their service. Therefore, the most hateful, ugliest and worst religion that can disgust the society, is the religion that stand with power and justifies the power and its action. By justification I mean justifying governments like Yazid, Umayyads, and Abbasids which use the religion for justifying such disasters.
At the end he stated, "The role of the clergy, religious scholars, is to be like the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and follow their path. we must protect the religion from deviation, misinterpretation and misunderstanding as our public mission."
