The duty of Muslims is to plan carefully and take a strong stance against arrogance

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Bamyan: The people of the Somareh region, the center of Bamyan, celebrated the seventh day of Muharram with speeches, expressing the message of Ashura, praying and beating their chests. Hojjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen Sayyid Mahdi Taha, one of the scholars of Bamiyan, citing the words of Imam Ali (AS), encouraged people to live with a plan and said: "Lest we fall into a state of disorganization like the Tawabin and fail to help the Imam of our time in a timely manner. As Ali (AS) says, a person's work should be planned and always move with consideration so that the end will be good and he experiences a blessed life."

 

He referred to the fate of the Tawabin, who initially did not help the Master of the Martyrs (AS) and left him alone in Karbala, but then they moved with a group of 5,000 people, 4,000 of whom were killed, and there was no result or blessing. Referring to the words of Imam Khamenei (AS), he added: "No one in history has appreciated the Tawabin, but they are always remembered as an example so that others do not act without a plan like them."

 

He added: "Today, we are still in the vortex of lack of planning and are culturally backward. As Imam Khamenei (may Allah have mercy on him) says, today, in addition to the missile war, is also a cultural war. We must work with full strength and cultural activity, and in the face of today's war, which is itself a war between Islam and infidelity, we must appear as actively as possible to help the religion of Islam and quickly take a stand against arrogance by building a religious and cultural culture so that we do not need the West." He addressed the people and said: "We are faced with the problems of underemployment, economic and scientific poverty, which causes us to be inactive so that we act weakly against the West and we must seek growth economically, scientifically and culturally; just as Imam Sadiq (AS) said to one of his friends who had abandoned trade, why did you abandon trade? He said I have a lot of wealth and I do not need trade, and the Imam said: Do not abandon trade and work because abandoning work reduces a person's intellect."

 

Economic and scientific self-sufficiency against global arrogance

Mr. Taha reminded the world of today's global issue and said: "Today, except for Islamic Iran, all countries are at the mercy of global arrogance, the devil's America and the cruel Israel; because Islamic countries have all become servants of the devil-worshipping West due to their greed and inaction, and it is necessary for all of us to help Islam through economic work and become self-sufficient, and defend the Islamic religion and culture so that we can stand against the West and arrogance with economic independence and not be forced to surrender to the West due to economic, cultural and scientific poverty and have our hands tied." He added: "Just as the economy has been likened to a backbone and science to an eye, we will reach our goal if we have both a seeing eye, i.e. science, and a strong backbone, i.e. economy. Otherwise, it is not possible to confront infidelity and atheism; for example, if 2 billion Muslims without a backbone, i.e. economy, and without eyes, i.e. science, want to stand against global oppression today, it will not be effective."

 

He concluded by emphasizing: "America and Israel should know that all free nations, Muslim and non-Muslim, stand by the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine and are ready to take action against the bloodthirsty and evil regime."
