AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On the occasion of the opening of the Wiki Torath and Shia Data projects, Grand Ayatollah "Nasser Makarem Shirazi" issued a message as follows:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

First of all, we thank God Almighty for making the efforts of planners, nobles, experts and those involved come to fruition and it enabled the use of two useful programs regarding the publication of the teachings of the AhluBayt (a.s.) and familiarization with those interested in Islamic heritage and spiritual teachings.

Collecting and promoting and facilitating access to the teachings of the Shia school and the heritage of Muslim scholars along with the collection of information and the classification of available resources and other useful efforts that have been carried out in these two programs, cause the means and progress in research in Islamic heritage and books of Shia scholars and the correct and comprehensive introduction of the Imamiyyah Shia doctrine to all truth-seekers.

In today's world, where the competition is for the speed, accuracy and accuracy of information and the enemies are trying to distort the face of the right path and attract the hearts and minds of the people to the false path, we must seriously try to strengthen our explanation in the virtual space.

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all the officials, as well as researchers and respected programmers who have played a role in these two extensive projects, and I wish them success.

Qom, Nasser Makarem Shirazi

13:52 - November 08, 2022  
TEHRAN (IQNA) – The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) welcomed a call by Al-Azhar Islamic Center for strengthening unity among Muslims within the framework of Islamic principles.

“However, this unity requires a proper atmosphere,” he added.

“All Muslim countries have duties and responsibilities (in this regard) and the correct way is for all to hold dialogue and take serious steps for realization of this.”

He highlighted the responsibility of Arab countries in this regard and said if the right steps are taken, Islamic unity will soon be materialized, God-willing.

Qaradaghi added that he supports any invitation to unity among Muslims and also human unity for peaceful coexistence.

His remarks came after Al-Azhar Chief Sheikh Ahemd El-Tayeb called for dialogue among Shia and Sunni Muslims.

Speaking on Friday in Bahrain, El-Tayeb said, “I and major scholars of Al-Azhar and Muslim Council of Elders are ready with open arms to sit down together on one roundtable with our Shia brothers to put aside our differences and strengthen our Islamic unity.”

Such a dialogue, he maintained, will aim at chasing away any talk of hate, provocation and excommunication and setting aside ancient and modern conflict in all its forms.

“I call on my brothers, Muslim scholars, across the world of every doctrine, sect and school of thought to hold an Islamic dialogue,” El-Tayeb stressed.

The forum was held in Manama in the presence of Pope Francis who made his first-ever trip to the island.

Why Is Ramadan Important?

15:51 - April 03, 2022  
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Muslims perform rituals during the blessed month of Ramadan which bears special importance.
What is the reason behind this importance?

Mohsen Qara’ati, a prominent Quran teacher and scholar from Iran, answers this question:

The importance of Ramadan is because of the Quran. When God wants to introduce the month of Ramadan, He says: “The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed” [2:185]. God does not say this is the month when we fast.

When a car stops working, we should put it on a downward slope so as to move; Ramadan is the path of modifying our attention to the Quran. Ramadan is a great opportunity to compensate for our lack of attention to the Holy Book.

We should consider contemplating the Quran as a wajib (compulsory) act because the Quran blames those who do not do so: “Will they not then contemplate on the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts!” [47:24]. This blaming refers to the obligatory nature of contemplation because God does not chastise individuals for doing Mustahabb acts such as Friday ghusl or night prayers. God chastises individuals two times here; He first says “Will they not then contemplate on the Quran?” before saying: “Or are there locks upon their hearts!”. A Mustahabb and peripheral act does not receive two consecutive reprimands! So it is an obligation to contemplate the Quran.

Meanwhile, the month of Ramadan has special importance because of increased attention to the Quran.

The Arabic word “tadabbor” is used in the Quran for thinking deeply about the Book’s concepts and does not have any other application other than in Quranic studies. The exact meaning of the word is understanding the wise arrangement that is present in the Quran.
