Ashura brings Sense of Responsibility: Imam Khomeini

Ashura brings Sense of Responsibility: Imam Khomeini

The founder of the Islamic Republic maintained that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), the grandson of the holy prophet of Islam wanted to establish an Islamic system where masses can experience justice and human values.

The great leader of the Muslim world said that one of the important objectives of Imam Hussein’s sacred uprising against the tyrant rulers was to inform the Ummah about the crimes the Umayyad dynasty was committing against the Islam. The tyrant ruler of that time was distorting the genuine teachings and damaging the very basic pillars of Islam.

The founder of the Islamic Republic believed that the Islamic societies deserved to be run by likes of infallible Imam Hussein (PBUH) and his pious followers.  No one should doubt that the grandson of the holy prophet wanted to throw out the tyrant rulers and instead establish a system where all people could exercise divine, social, and moral values and establish justice.

The other objective pursued by the infallible successor of the holy prophet was pursuing to command for good and forbid from bad at all levels of the society.

Imam Khomeini the leader of the Muslim world also used to maintain that Ashura is the overflowing spring of liberality and the secret of permanent struggle for safeguarding the Divine religion of Islam.

According to great Imam, Ashura is the code which ushers in monotheism and justice, and befits the eminence of human status.

According to Imam Khomeini’ the elements of God-given consciousness and the fervor of seeking the truth, makes the humankind to become fit for the vicegerency of God on earth, and in this manner man's soul may become a manifestation of the monotheism and justice.

The founder of the Islamic Republic used to insist that Ashura is the inspiration behind the fervent Revolution which emerged as victorious in Iran and is the greatest event of contemporary history.

The Islamic Revolution took place under the guidance of the great Ashuraic leader of our times, Imam Khomeini, for establishing a society based upon the foundations of monotheism, moral and human values.

Opportunities for providing a proper understanding of the contents of the movement of Ashura should be honored, and the presence of scholars, cultural figures and the Muslim nations as well as non-Muslim scholars from other countries for understanding, analyzing and contemplating the contents of this event, should be given due regard.

Imam Khomeini believed that lessons should be learned from tragic event of Ashura and its message must be implemented at all levels and layers of the Muslim societies.
