Hawzah News Agency- The remarks came during a gathering of missionaries at the Abu Dhar Cultural and Educational Camp in Hamadan province. Ayatollah Marvi highlighted the enduring importance of religious propagation, stating: “Islam is an eternal religion that began with propaganda, continued with propaganda, and became global through it.”
Expressing his gratitude for being among the bearers of the message of the school of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the Islamic Revolution, he said: “Those who convey the message of truth to the hearts of people through their words and deeds are engaged in a sacred task.”
He underlined that the stability and growth of Islam throughout history have been rooted in sustained propaganda efforts. Referring to the impact of great Shiite scholars, Ayatollah Marvi noted: “The Shiite school was able to spread worldwide through dedicated propagation, and today we witness the presence of followers of the Ahl al-Bayt across the globe.”
Addressing the global rise of interest in the school of Ahl al-Bayt, he urged missionaries not to be discouraged by negative propaganda, adding: “The discourse of seeking justice, defending rights, and embracing the ideals of the Islamic Revolution resonates worldwide.”
He also referenced the recent 12-day imposed war, emphasizing its role in strengthening the global wave of interest toward Shiism.
Highlighting the importance of preparation and knowledge, Ayatollah Marvi told the missionaries: “Study and scientific preparation are the main conditions for success in propaganda. A missionary must be equipped with understanding to communicate effectively with the people.”
He described Nahj al-Balagha and Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya as “two elixirs of the Shiite school,” noting that after the Holy Quran, these works are key tools for winning hearts globally.
Concluding his address, Ayatollah Marvi stressed that effective propagation requires personal commitment: “Propaganda is the greatest religious responsibility. To make your words effective, you must embody them in your actions. Religious elders became influential through their deeds, and we must follow their example.”
