Shiite source of emulation stated, “For propagation and promotion of the Islamic teachings and AhlulBayt (a.s.) culture, it is necessary to train and employ people with appropriate abilities.”

In a meeting with a group of elite professors and missionaries of the Islamic Propagation Office of the Seminary, while considering the preaching as a clear example of the revival of the rule of AhlulBayt (a.s.), Grand Ayatollah Noori Hamedani stated, “According to the Quran, among every nation a group must be raised to guide the people in order to, by spreading divine knowledge, provide the foundations for the growth and excellence of that nation.”

Referring to the beginning of the month of Muharram, he added, “On the night of Ashura, at that extremely turbulent time, Imam Hussain (a.s.) thanked God Almighty for creating such a situation for him so that he could express the truth of Islam to the people.”

Then, while pointing out the importance of propagating, the Shiite Marja stated, “Propagation is a fundamental and significant issue that is considered as the revival of the order of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) and has an impact on the morals and behavior of the society, especially the young generation. Therefore, for propagation and promotion of the Islamic teachings and AhlulBayt (a.s.) culture, it is necessary to train and employ people with appropriate abilities.”

“There have been many jurists throughout history, but there have been very few preachers who can move people for Imam Hussain (a.s.). Because training a preacher requires his certain inherent talents and characteristics. Therefore, religious missionaries should be grateful to God that they convey the Islamic teachings and AhlulBayt (a.s.) culture to the people,” said the professor of high levels of the Islamic seminary considering the training of preachers as very important task.

“Mastering the Tafsir of the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha is one of the most important requirements of preachers,” Ayatollah Noori Hamedani stated, “Religious missionaries need to have a very close relationship with Nahj al-Balagha. In my opinion, no one can become a preacher except when he has knowledge of Nahj al-Balaghah.”

“Good morals and humbleness toward people are an important factor to attract them. Just as the words and phrases of the Quran and the hadiths of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) guide the people, your good morals – which are based on the tradition of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) and the culture of the Quran – will guide the people, and its effect is more than speech,” he added.

While pointing to the arrival of Muharram, he considered the mourning days of Imam Hussain (a.s.) to be a good opportunity to answer doubts and communicate with the young generation.

“Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) warned Muslims about seditions and events in the End of Time, and said, “When the enemies will attack you, although you are many, but if you are divided into different groups, you would be disappeared like dust.” It is necessary to explain these incidents and deviations to the people, so that they are aware of the situation and conditions of the time, and gain insight about them,” he said.

“Throughout history, by introducing the mixture of truth and falsehood, and creating suspicion and ambiguity, the enemies of Islam have tried to deviate the society, especially the young generation. Today we also see that most of the enemy’s investment is on our young generation. Therefore, one of the important responsibilities for everyone is to answer the doubts and enlighten people about the seditions of the End of Time and the moral-religious deviations of the society,” pointed out, the professor of the high levels of the Islamic seminary.

At the beginning of this meeting, while stating the needs and activities of the field of propagating, Ayatollah Nazari Monfared, Hojat al-Islam Ahmed Vaezi, head of the Islamic Propagation Office of the Qom Seminary, and Hojat al-Islam Mohammadi Khorasani presented a report on the activities of the Organization for Ayatollah Noori Hamedani.
