Hawzah News Agency- The weekly ethics lesson of Senior Shia Scholar Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli was held at the Grand Mosque of Qom with the attendance of various segments of the society.
In this session, while explaining the wisdom 192 of Nahj al-Balagha, the grand ayatollah stated,” In this wisdom, the Imam (peace be upon him) says: "What you provide beyond your needs is an accumulation for others, and you have set it aside for them, but you can do more for others through work and save society from poverty and deprivation."
He emphasized the importance of work, production, and employment, and stated,” Work and production are the best blessings and services that save society from poverty. We should seek work and production as long as we are alive and eradicate poverty from society, because a poor society becomes the tool in the hands of others.”
Senior Shia Scholar Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli further noted,” As the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said, ‘He who finds water and land yet cannot manage himself, God distances him from mercy," therefore, we should take work and production seriously; work and production are the best worship to preserve society and save people from deprivation.”
Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, in another part of his speech, referring to the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Musa ibn Ja'far (peace be upon him), stated, "We are by the table of Lady Fatima Masoumeh (peace be upon her), upon whom several Imams have expressed their devotion, is a treasure from which scholars have gathered due to the blessings of her presence, forming an Islamic seminary, and her tomb has become a source of blessings for the Islamic seminary of Qom. This provides a great opportunity for Imamate studies.”
The Senior cleric emphasized the role of the school of Ahl al-Bayt, and stated, "Imam Musa ibn Ja'far (PBUH) in noble hadith addressed to his students, says, 'The best of servants are the wise.' God praised reason, but when he intends to define reason he says, 'Indeed, reason is knowledge,' for without knowledge, there is no reason, and knowledge that does not lead to reason is ignorance.’
Senior Shia Scholar Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli said, "There are two proofs for people that are consistent: the external proof, are the Messenger and the prophets and the imams, and the internal proof which is reason. But reason here is the one that is submissive before the Ahl al-Bayt and understands to ask them.
He also considered reason the cultural axis of society and stated that "Sheikh Koleini in the introduction of his book 'Al-Kafi says that the cultural pole of a it is reason, and the culture of a society is based on reason, and without rationality, religious understanding will reach nowhere.
In conclusion, he praised The Islamic Republic of Iran, with its proud, dignified, majestic people, who, along with their scholars, have created this dignity and, added that the Almighty God preserves Iran through supplications and prayers.”
