Esra NEWS Agency: Recently, part of Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s speech has been published distortedly in social media, which has caused misunderstandings in public opinion.
What was narrated distortedly from Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is as it follows:
The government of Islamic Republic of Iran is better than the government of Amirul Momineen (P.B.U.H)...
Even though no one can be like Mullah Ali.
👈 Four, four hundred and four thousand corruptions are not something one can use to attack the this government, because corruption exists in all governments and it must be revised.
But before entering into the words of Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, let us consider one point:
In the 222nd meeting about Surah Nisa (date: 13/11/1372) on the eve of entering the holy month of Ramadan, His Holiness mentioned some points for the clergies who want to give speech to use in this holy month as much as possible, including, "the necessity of education with preaching", "The need to educate the new generation, especially the youth and teenagers " and statements based on the instructions of the Holy Quran on " upbringing children on the basis of modesty and politeness". Then he also pointed out the position of the Islamic system and warned them from over defending the system as well as defect in this duty. In this regard, he said one should mention thousands of positive aspects of the Islamic Republic system, and if there are things with contrary to Sharia or if there are defects, it should be pointed out so people in charge correct them, the word "corruption" has not been used at all, and it is not clear how the author of the above text has related such an inappropriate sentence to the Ayatollah Javadi?!
What was the exact words of Ayatollah Javadi in the exegesis class?
What the professor mentioned at the end of his lesson is that he stated: "The Islamic system, as you know it, is the most important divine gift on earth right now. no one should think four, forty, four hundred or four thousand misbehaviors against the Sharia, which were always there (is not permit to go against the system). However, the main elements of the system, the divine system.
He said: "the government now in which we are talking about freely, even if we compare it with the government of Hazrat Amir (peace be upon him), you cannot find a better government than our government. Except for few years of the government of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), as will be discussed in the following, the words of Hazrat Ustad in this section he was referring to the relationship between the people and the government.
His Holiness stated in this discussion we should carry it out in two separate chapters. One is the character of Amir al-Mu'minin. He explained that no one can be compared to the infallible, pure Ahl al-Bayt, and therefore it is stated in the words of the Infallibles, peace be upon them, that «لا يُقاسُ بنا احد» (no one can be compared to us.) And no one should be compared with them, and there is another chapter about the government of Amiralmomenin, which is not just about the leader, but also about the people participation. In this section, Hazrat Ustad says: "The government of Hazrat Ali (Peace be upon him) was, as I mention it many times, it was run by peoples whom were very few of them was righteous. Most of people did not participate, nor all his agents were righteous... small group of his agents were really worthy". he then points to the complaining letters of Hazrat Amir from his agents to confirm his words.
In this section about people and government, Hazrat Ustad says: "Now, by the grace of God, the people have a deeper understanding and are they are better than the people of the time of Hazrat Amir." As you can see, the words of Hazrat Ustad in this section refer to the relationship between the people and the government, that the people of the present time know better than the people of the time of Amirul Momineen's government, because the people themselves are participating in government and have given many martyrs. He said: "People did and still do, show the nobility, because they never count these sacrifices as they are for the leader and founder, or these and that. They count them only for God and God and God and God. No one would sacrifice his son for oil nor for anyone else; just only for the sake of religion. even though the founder, leader and officials themselves are working for religion. We should try to preserve this divine trust, its main axis. Of course, there are problems in some places we must mention them and solve them., four, four hundred, forty thousand, these can be corrected; But the main principle of the body of the system, the main principle of the system, the principle of Wilayat Fagih, the principle of leadership, the principle of the republic, these are actually are part of the best gift of Allah.”
In his advice to Shia clergies, His Eminence says that one should not take the path of exaggeration, which does not see thousands of positive effects of the Islamic Republic of Iran, nor the path of short is short coming, which, God forbid, justifies someone's false words and actions, but rather, wherever there are “defects" or "contradictions" with Sharia" it should be mentioned so it would be solved. Like His Eminence himself always points out important points in his meetings with the high officials and emphasizes on solving the problems and fixing the shortcomings and deficiencies on the part of the officials.
In this regard he said, "Now if there is news everywhere, if there is news in Algeria, there is news in Palestine, there is news in other places, it is because of the blessing of this revolution. It has thousands of positive effects, but there is one negative effect in four places. In the end, for solving these negative effects we must start from ourselves first. We must reform ourselves so that we can actually be speaker of Islam, and guide the society in this direction, God willing, not extremists, nor justify anyone's false words, God forbid. Let's explain the principle of the system, the justifications of the system... _God willing_ people know well.”
In the end, two points can be mentioned and noted:
Due to the scholarly nature and the necessity of documenting the words of the Master, it is definitely recommended to the respected readers to follow and observe his words in full and not to draw conclusions from fragmented and selective contents.
Be sure to receive and follow the words of the Master from reliable sources, as in the announcement of the office of Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, everyone, especially the members of the media, is always invited to be honest and fair and observe correct moral and legal rules, and it is announced that all news and Information about the content of the assemblies, meetings and speeches of Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is confirmed only if it is reflected on the official channels of Esra Foundation.
