Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) - The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “Qom is also the holy shrine of the Ahl al-Bayt and it’s protected by the people. Qom has become a bone in the enemies’ throats.”
Speaking at a conference entitled “Enjoiners of the Good and Forbidders of the Wrong” which was organized by the Imam Sadeq Brigade of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi offered his congratulations on the occasion of the Ten Days of Dignity and the birth anniversary of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah.
The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah noted that the Umayyad Dynasty attempted to turn Madinah – the holy shrine of the Prophet Muhammad – into a centre of corruption and said, “In another incident, when Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq participated in a gathering with his companions, the owner of the house had someone be given wine who requested water. This person’s action wasn’t against the Imam, but such cases were normal at that time.”
He stated that as a holy shrine, Qom has creational and legislative orientations, said, “The creational orientation in the hands of God and the legislative orientation is in the hands of the people. If the people don’t observe the legislative orientation, the Madinah of the Prophet will be transformed into the Madinah of the Al Saud. God called Makkah an ‘abode of safety’ and because the people didn’t observe the legislative orientation, the city became a temple of idolatry and their idols were broken with the efforts of the Prophet Muhammad and Imam Ali but the protection of its honour on the earth was in the hands of the people and if it isn’t observed, it will fall to the Al Saud.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi added, “Qom is also the holy shrine of the Ahl al-Bayt and it’s protected by the people. Qom has become a bone in the enemies’ throats and if Syria, Lebanon, Kufah, Karbala and other holy cities remain, it’s for the sake of Qom. There are representatives of more than a hundred countries in this city who want to acquire these features from Qom.”
