Ayatollah Ostadi, a member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom, stated “The approach that Imams (a.s.) taught in confronting these threats is logical and correct and has been effective in all cases. Their solution was to revive the orders of AhlulBayt (a.s.). Imam Reza (a.s.) says that if people hear the teachings and facts of AhlulBayt (a.s.), they will obey.”

ABWA Official Website - On the Thursday morning, November 24, 2022, at the International Conference Umana Al-Rosol (Trustees of the Messengers) in Qom, Ayatollah Reza Ostadi, a member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom, stated, “Enmity against the AhlulBayt (a.s.) has existed throughout history and still continues today.”

“Enemies try to isolate the AhlulBayt (a.s.) School,” Ayatollah Reza Ostadi saud, “and if they fail to do this, they seek to manipulate the content, or separate people from AhlulBayt (a.s.). The greatest service that the seminaries of Najaf and Qom and other seminaries have done throughout history is that they confronted the three mentioned threats.”

“The approach that Imams (a.s.) taught in confronting these threats is logical and correct and has been effective in all cases. Their solution was to revive the orders of AhlulBayt (a.s.). Imam Reza (a.s.) says that if people hear the teachings and facts of AhlulBayt (a.s.), they will obey,” added the eminent professor of the seminary.

Ayatollah Ostadi stated, “Today hostility of enemies against AhlulBayt (a.s.) continues. They want to prevent the names of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and AhlulBayt (a.s.) from being mentioned. The reason for Islamophobia in the world is that they don’t want anything left of Islam. Today the threats are more severe, and enemies question the foundation of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school and are expressing the content in a distorted way. They want to separate people from prayer and Hussainiyya and make them skeptical of the Islamic government.”

“The school of AhlulBayt (a.s.) must be preserved intact. Preventing people from being separated from AhlulBayt (a.s.) school, depends only on your and my actions. We must behave in such a way that people do not separate from us,” he said.

“Delivering speeches and preaching alone is not influential. It is the duty of every seminarian to show people that he cares about their religion, and he just wants them to be religious. Seminaries, with all their greatness, have particular duties, and Ayatollah Al-Khersan has lived his life this way,” added the member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom.

In the end, Ayatollah Ostadi expressed his hope that holding such conferences can have an impact on people’s religion and their adherence to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school, and the implementation of the hadith of Thaqalayn.

It worth mentioning that the Najaf section of the “1^st Conference of the Umana al-Rosol (Trustees of the Messengers): Commemoration of the Grand Ayatollah Sayed Muhammad Mahdi Al-Musawi Al-Khersan” with research meetings was held in the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (a.s.). The closing ceremony of this section was also held on the Tuesday evening, October 18, 2022, in the conference hall of Lady Fatimah Zahra (a.s.), and the authors of the selected articles and a number of organizers of the conference were appreciated.

Also, the two holy shrines of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Imam Hussain (a.s.), as well as about 30 scientific and cultural institutions – including the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly – have participated in holding this conference. /345/
