The representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts stated, “In the Qadr Nights, God Almighty has provided a precious opportunity to man. On these nights, the human soul is purified.”

ABWA Official Website – On Sunday evening, April 9, 2023, during the vigil of the 19^th night of the holy month of Ramadan in Rasht’s Safi Mosque, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “All divine prophets had the role of teaching and education. They sought to introduce a life appropriate to the position of human beings to them.”

“The effort of all divine prophets was for people to know themselves.” the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts added, “One of the main problems of human society is ignorance about themselves. This ignorance will spread in society.”

“A society that is on the path of ignorance will not reach knowledge let alone wealth. Prophets came to bring wealth to man,” he expressed.

“As long as a person does not know the world, the hereafter, and himself, he will not take any steps. Humans should not stay in the sensuous world, but should pass through it, and reach the intellectual and intuitive world,” Ayatollah Ramazani noted.

“According to the Holy Quran, God has placed man in the best form, and all facilities have been provided to him. Plans for human growth limit him (he is not allowed to do anything that he wants). We are neither allowed to backbite and slander, nor to hear, eat, and drink anything we like. We have restrictions,” emphasized the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

“Restrictions bring immunity and protect people,” he continued, “If man acts as he pleases, he will not grow and progress. Therefore, in order to grow, one must take God’s limitation and obligation seriously.”

Further, referring to the recent events and the hijab issue, Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Hijab is a limitation, but this limitation protects the human being. Of course, sometimes some people break the norm because they are unaware of its philosophy.”

Referring to freedom and the issues expressed around it, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts noted, “Freedom should be appropriate to the status and dignity of human beings. Therefore, man must accept some limitations to achieve freedom.”

“If a person takes off his clothes and says he wants to be free, it is against both reason and Fitrah (divine nature of human beings). Unfortunately, some people don't know behind the scenes,” he added.

Mentioning the conversion of a Japanese girl to Islam, Ayatollah Ramazani went on to say that when this Japanese girl heard the verses about hijab and the status and greatness of women in the Quran, accepts Islam with all her being.

“There are 300 verses related to women in the Holy Quran,” Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “Among the other facts about the view of Islam and the Quran on women are the introduction of female role models, women are heroes in educational fields, naming a surah after women (An-Nisa), and the equality of men and women.”

“All the dos and don'ts of religion (Islam) are based on wisdom and for the development of humans,” he emphasized.

“Almighty God has provided a precious opportunity to man in the Qadr Nights. Ramadan is a deterrent and during these days, Satan is tied,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.

“To the extent that a person adheres to the Sharia, Satan will distance himself from that person,” stated the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.

“Reciting the whole of the Holy Quran, especially in the holy month of Ramadan, is very virtuous. Of course, if someone could not recite the entire Quran, even if he reads a single verse, it is valuable. Sometimes a verse is an answer to thousands of human questions,” he noted.

“At dawn on the 19^th day of Ramadan, the destinies of man are determined; it will be confirmed at 21^st dawn; and it becomes certain at 23^rd dawn. The soul of man is purified in the Qadr nights,” Ayatollah Ramazani pointed out.

“The value and position of Qadr Night are higher than a thousand months. In Qadr Nights, God assigns angels to welcome the people of Salam,” said the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the end. /345/
