The representative of His Eminence the religious authority Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life), and the director of his central office in Najaf Al-Ashraf, Sheikh Ali Al-Najafy, participated in a mourning gathering held at the Hussainiya of Hajj Jasem Hanoun in the holy city of Karbala, on the night of the 10th of Muharram.

In his speech delivered during the gathering, His Eminence emphasized that the Hussaini uprising came for the purpose of reforming the nation and society, and every individual in their daily life, pointing out that such reform begins with one’s relationship with Allah Almighty, then reflects upon society through adherence to the rulings of Islamic law in one’s dealings, and is completed through self-reform and refinement in a manner pleasing to Allah, embodying the aims of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) in his blessed uprising.

Sheikh Al-Najafy added that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), the Master of the Youth of Paradise, offered the greatest sacrifices—of himself, his family, and his companions—for the salvation of the nation from deviation. He called on everyone to be Hussaini in their conduct and awareness, as the Imam (peace be upon him) intended.

His Eminence stressed the importance of reviving the Hussaini rituals, holding mourning gatherings, and visiting the Master of Martyrs (peace be upon him), citing narrations from Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) that demonstrate the greatness of the visitors and their lofty status with Allah Almighty, and with Imam Hussein, his forefathers, and his descendants (peace be upon them).

He affirmed that their names are recorded in illuminated scrolls due to their sincere intentions and faithful loyalty in reviving the Hussaini cause, whose injustice and legitimacy are universally recognized.
