ABWA Official Website – Referring to the session of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan Akhtari stated, “According to its constitution, the Assembly must hold several sessions of the Supreme Council every year. The members of the Supreme Council are Iranian and non-Iranian.

World Assembly are held every year.”

Ayatollah Akhtari who was speaking to the ABNA reporter in an interview on the sidelines of the session of the Comprehensive Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Baghdad, said, “Every year, five, six or eight sessions of the concise Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly are held. Also, due to the difficulty of holding sessions of the Council every month, a selected committee of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly was elected, and in its sessions, decisions are made regarding major issues as well as issues of the day. Moreover, if necessary, some issues will be referred to the Supreme Council, and all the members of the Supreme Council of the Assembly will be asked for their opinion about those issues.”

“According to the statute of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the comprehensive session of the Supreme Council must be held twice a year. Accordingly, the session of the Supreme Council should have been held at the end of this year. Sometimes the comprehensive session of the Supreme Council is held outside Iran, for example in Iraq or Lebanon, because of the foreign members of the Council. This time, it was decided that the session of the Supreme Council be held in Iraq, hosted by Hojat al-Islam Sayed Ammar Hakim, a member of the Supreme Council of the Assembly,” added the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

World Assembly presented the report of their region and the situation of the followers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) in their respective countries and expressed their opinions about them. Hojat al-Islam Hassan Hammadeh from Lebanon, representing Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, attended this session and spoke about Lebanon’s issues. Then, Hojat al-Islam Nabil Halbawi, one of the Syrian members of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly spoke about the situation in Syria and the aftermath of the earthquake in the country and the problems faced by the Syrian people and the followers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) in the country following the earthquake,” he continued.

“Hojat al-Islam Morteza Morteza, a member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, on behalf of the followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school in Africa, spoke about the issues of the continent at the comprehensive session of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, especially the issues of Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Zambia. Because they are the main area of activity of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly is in East Africa. Also, in the recent session, Nader Jafar, a Khoja Shiite, and a member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, presented ideas for possible cooperation in cultural, scientific, and economic fields,” added the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

World Assembly, Ayatollah Akhtari stated, “The first speaker of this session on the second day was Hojat al-Islam Qomi, who pointed out issues that will be on the agenda. On the first day, Ayatollah Hosseini, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Iraq, gave a speech.”

“On the second day of the comprehensive session of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, reports from the Assembly and its various departments were presented and at the end, a summary was concluded. Issuing a statement, the session closed on the second day,” he continued.

But in addition to that, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Assembly of Iraq has been established in the country, which as one of the local assemblies is related to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly. The session of AhlulBayt (a.s.) Assembly of Iraq was held today with the presence of its members, as well as various guests,” added the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

“In the Session of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, attention is paid to various problems and issues of the Islamic world. We are trying to implement the orders of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution regarding Muslims, followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school, and publishing the AhlulBayt (a.s.) teachings.
