According to Ahlul Bayt News Agency – ABNA – Ahlul Bayt World Assembly's secretary general in the 14th Imam Reza Festival stated that: Imam Reza Festival is a unique opportunity to introduce Islam to the world, a world which day by day becomes keener to accept Islam.

He said: Among Ahlul Bayt, Imam Reza's life and practical behavior (Sireh) are very especial and unique to himsef.

He stated that: Ahlul Bayt's mission was to protect religion, therefore they sacrificed themselves to achieve it. In addition to that Imam Reza accepted "Velayah" [leadership].

He then added: today the Takfiri movements and Arrogant Powers are trying to use all political, cultural, social, and military potential to stand against Islam. However we witness a day by day increase in acceptance of Islam.

He said: it is obvious that Islam and Quran will endure to the Resurrection Day and none of the TakfiriMmovements will be able to prevent Islam's endurance by distorting and falsifying it.

He considered Imam Khanemeni's letter to Western youth a great move in introduction of true Islam and stated: Imam Khamenei has written two intelligent, logical, and clear letters to Western youth and we all witnessed the positive reactions to them.

Ahlul Bayt World Assembly's secretary general Ayatollah Akhtari considered wisdom and rationality the focus of Imam Reza Festival in 2016 and said: rationality is a principle in Islam and has been stressed on in Holy Quran several times.

He added: Imam Reza Festival is a unique opportunity both internationally an omestically. Given the constant attacks to Islam and Muslims, holding such festivals will prevent such attacks.

He clarified that unfortunately Holy Quran's translations are not still available to many people around the world. The 15th Imam Reza Festival must focus on art and filmmakers and other artists must produce variety of artistic creations focusing on Imam Reza.

He then added: next year, the festival must focus on Imam Reza's manners and lifestyle, and character. Films and animations are simple instruments to propagate true Islam, and Imam Reza's manners to youth.
