Hawzah News Agency- During the vigil of the 21st night of the holy month of Ramadan and the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali (PBUH), which was held in the Safi Mosque of Rasht, Hujjat al-Islam Reza Ramazani stated, “The Qadr Night is the night of gratitude. To be grateful, man must know and understand his position.”
Referring to the role of Quran in the man’s correct understanding of his position, the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts added, “Many tried to introduce the human being. But no book can be found as comprehensive as Quran to introduce man to man.”
Mentioning the expression of the German scholar and poet Goethe about Quran, “Goethe introduces Quran as a book that plays a role in governing the world.”
“Also, in his book, “The World of Islamic Civilization”, Gustave Le Bon said that many wanted to formulate an ethical system. But there is no more beautiful ethical system than the Quran. The Quran has a moral system, a belief system, and other systems that correspond to the position of man,” Hujjat al-Islam Ramazani emphasized.
“Quran is a comprehensive book for understanding the position of man,” the Secretary General of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) World Assembly stated, “To save Quran from abandonment, (for it to intercede for us in the Day of Resurrection), we must evaluate ourselves with this holy book.”
“Reciting the Quran has a high position. One of the positions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was reciting the verses of the divine book,” he added.
“However, only by reciting the Quran, which of course has a high value, a society will not be saved and will not progress. Recitation is only one of our duties towards the Quran, and the more important duty is thinking about and pondering on it,” Hujjat al-Islam Ramazani said.
“When wise men become intellectual and have practical wisdom, then the society will grow. What saves man and society, and governs global society, is a thorough understanding of Quran and getting to know the language of this divine book,” added the representative of the people of Gilan in the Assembly of Leadership Experts.
Further, pointing out the virtue of Qadr nights, he said, “The Qadr Night is the night of the major and minor weights, that is, the night of the Quran, and the progeny of Holy Prophet (PBUH) respectively.”
“Coincidence of Qadr Night, Quran and the Progeny is not accidental. Rather, it is based on a fact. We must be in the presence of these two weights,” Hujjat al-Islam Ramazani stated.
“To understand the Holy Quran, we must get to know its language. Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) are the language of the Holy Quran,” clarified the Secretary General of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) World Assembly.
“After the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH) was interpreter and explainer of the Holy Quran,” he added, “A comprehensive interpretation can only be performed by an Infallible, and a non-Infallible person cannot have a comprehensive interpretation in any way.”
In the end, on the necessity of self-knowledge, Hujjat al-Islam Ramazani said, “We must know the position of the human being to know our value. Prophets were sent by God for us and presented the best kind of self-knowledge to humans.”
