Hawzah News Agency- the vice president of the Federation of Shia Schools of Pakistan, said in his Friday prayer sermons at the Grand Imam Ali Mosque (peace be upon him,” Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil means preaching the religion in the straight path.”

Hujjat al-Islam Seyyed Murid Hussain Naqvi said that the straight path is the guarantee of heaven. And commanding good and forbidding evil means spreading religion towards the straight path. What is meant by straight path is; The principles of religion are the beliefs of Islam and the branches of religion are the rules of religion.

He added,” Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq (peace be upon him) says: Loving and obeying the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) is the straight path.”

While delivering sermons on Friday prayers, he considered prayer, fasting, Hajj, zakat and khums to be the straight path. If a person prays and commits fornication, then his prayer will not be accepted.

This Pakistani religious expert further noted that only religious jurists and authorities have the right to issue fatwas, if someone other than them issues a fatwa on an issue, he has strayed from the straight path.

While describing the life and character of Hazrat Zainab, peace be upon her, he said,” Hazrat Zainab revealed true nature of the Yazidis with her sermons and with her patience and endurance. That is why today Karbala is beautiful and bright, and the Yazidis are disgraced and banished.”
