Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Seyyed Mohammad-Nabi Mousavi-Fard made the remarks in his Friday prayer sermons in Ahvaz, delivered at the Imam Khomeini (RA) Musalla, according to a report by the Hawza News Agency. He advised worshippers to observe divine piety and offered condolences on the Fatimiyya days.
The Prophet as the Best Model
Referring to verse 21 of Surah Al-Ahzab, he stated: "According to this verse, the best model in all arenas is the sacred existence of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)." He described the Prophet as a great captain who, when his ship encountered the most severe storms, showed not the slightest weakness or lethargy, adding: "The Prophet is both a captain and a trustworthy anchor for humanity."
Citing the Quranic verse "Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often," he said: "According to this verse, one who is in the position of an excellent model possesses three characteristics: constant hope in God and the Day of Resurrection, and abundant remembrance of God."
The Love of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH)
Referring to a narration from the Holy Prophet (PBUH) stating, "O Salman! The love of Fatima is beneficial in one hundred stations; the easiest of these stations are death, the grave, the weighing of deeds, the scene of resurrection, the Sirat bridge, and the reckoning," the Friday prayer leader said: "This means that love of Lady Fatima (peace be upon her) is beneficial in one hundred stations and positions; the easiest of these are the moment of death, in the grave, at the weighing of deeds, at the scene of resurrection, on the Sirat bridge, and at the reckoning of deeds."
He stated: "One who imagines that connection with the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) and Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) is limited to the heart has no connection with Islam and its logic."
Warning on Declining Population
Regarding the warning sign of population decline, Mousavi-Fard stated: "Young people in some families do not marry, and among marriages, couples have only one or two children. A youthful population is not achieved through slogans and recommendations, but requires serious will on the part of families, officials, and the provision of its foundations."
He continued: "If the birth rate and population continue in this manner for the next twenty years, kindergartens will turn into nursing homes. The martyred mujahid Imam [Khamenei] used to say regarding population that whenever I remember it, I cannot sleep until morning."
Gaza and the Displaced
Referring to the living conditions of displaced people in the Nawa area of Gaza, the Friday prayer leader of Ahvaz stated: "Living conditions have become much harder than before, such that local residents have called this area the last and most remote point in the world. Islamic countries must pay special attention to Gaza."
Hijab as a Destructive Weapon
Mousavi-Fard referred to the issue of hijab in the country and emphasized: "The enemy uses the issue of hijab as a destructive weapon. Neglecting this bitter reality, if not naive, will cause significant harm. Officials must pay special attention in this direction."
Referring to the theory of a Western thinker regarding corrupting Muslims instead of waging war against them, he noted: "According to the interpretation of the martyred Imam, if those who do not observe hijab understood the enemy's hidden plot, they would never cooperate in this regard."
Call for Unity Against a Single Enemy
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Khuzestan, referring to the current sensitive conditions and the necessity of unity among the people and officials, emphasized: "No words should be uttered by anyone that would cause division; rather, all are facing a single enemy called America and the Zionist regime."
"The Name of Negotiation Is Deadly Poison Until Conditions Are Met"
The Friday prayer leader of Ahvaz, referring to America's pursuit of direct negotiations with Islamic Iran, said: "First, the seven conditions announced by Islamic Iran must be fulfilled, and thereafter a decision will be made regarding negotiations. Until these conditions are met, the name of negotiation is deadly poison."
Addressing the American enemy, Mousavi-Fard said: "The flag-bearing people in the streets and the armed forces at the launchers and missiles are ready to impose these conditions on the other side."
