Commemorating Fatimieh Days Like Ashura Introduces Shia to the World

 

The director general of Qazvin province’s Islamic development department stated that respecting the Fatemieh Days marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of Hazret Fatimah (S) will introduce Shia the world more than ever.

The programs of Fatemieh Days should be planned in such a way that Fatimeh Days like Ashura is commemorated with a special enthusiasm and magnificence, Hojatoleslam Ali Nematollahi stated, public relations office of Qazvin province’s Islamic development department reported.

The great Ulema, the prominent religious figures and the country’s religious bodies make efforts to introduce Fatemieh days as the manifestation of Shia, since Fatemieh days like Ashura can introduce Shia to the world more than ever, he noted.

Our duty as a cultural institution is to make efforts to give a special enthusiasm and passion along with sense and wisdom to the ceremonies held to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Hazret Fatimah (S) and increase the knowledge of people especially the young generation about Hazret Fatimah (S) with the aim of introducing Shia to the world, Hojatoleslam Nematollahi added.

The message of Hazret Fatimah (S) is to obey Velayat unquestioningly, therefore, by setting Hazret Fatimah (S) as our model, we should take steps to defend Velayat and not let enemies destroy the bases of the Islamic republic system, added the director general of Qazvin province’s Islamic development department.

The holy existence of the Infallible Imams (AS) is the source of Divine mercy and guidance in the world; as the Holy Quran says it is not possible to describe Hazret Fatimeh (S) who is the great benefaction. Allah says to the great Prophet (S): “We gave you a great benefaction, and if such great benefaction didn’t exist, the humanity would be deprived of the offspring” ; therefore, the life, munificence and solidity of mankind is dependent on the holy being of Hazret Fatimah (S), Hojatoleslam Nematollahi continued.

Hazret Fatimah (S) is the main pivot of the prophetic and Imamate mission; the world is firm based on the four pillars of the great Prophet (S), Hazret Ali (AS), Hazret Mojtaba (AS) and Imam Hossein (AS), but what is wonderful is that when Allah says that “ Fatimah is and Fatimah’s father is”, “ Fatimah is and Fatimah’s husband is”, “ Fatimah is and Fatimah’s son is”, He attributes the first to fourth man of the world to her, he reminded.
