🔸Make this message universal!
🔻Many years ago, some female students went on a field trip to Qom. After returning, they filled in a participant’s questionnaire. One of them wrote something very special. When I read it at that time, it stuck in my mind.
🔻A young female university student wrote, “When I went to Hazrat Masumah’s (‘a) shrine, at one point I thought about this fact that the biggest and most honored shrine that we have for one of the offspring of an Imam in Iran, is the shrine of #Hazrat_Masumah (‘a). Very great scholars are very humble in front of her, and Hazrat Masumah was a #girl.
🔻When I saw the #honor that Islam and the Islamic scholars have for this young woman, my perspective changed about #Islam. Before this, I didn’t honor or value religiosity very much. However, I saw that there is really no difference between #men and #women in Islam in that if a girl is pious, educated, knowledgeable and spiritual, all the world of Islam will be humble in front of her.”
🔻You honorable people who today have the necessary tools and can reach out to the whole world, send a message to everyone. That message is that the greatest shrine after the shrines of the Imams (‘a), which Muslims honor, is the shrine of a young woman. The people of the world should know this so that no one will say, “We in the West #respect women; but Muslims don’t.”
🔻The religious authorities and great mystics like Ayatollah Bahjat, had bound themselves, [I stress this fact that] they had bound themselves to go to be in her presence, read the recommended supplications and say hello to her every day. A young woman has passed away and her luminous tomb is a place, which the Friends of God care about and pay special attention to!
🔻We thank God that we have a religion, which is not #discriminatory. Being female, male, small, or big is not important in our religion at all. The shrine of Hazrat Masumah (‘a) itself has many messages for the whole world.
🌸 Congratulations on the anniversary of the birth of Hazrat Fatimah Masumah (‘a), the daughter of Imam Musa bin Ja’far (‘a).

🔻 The testing system requires that a person have the opportunity to sin and to do good deeds.
🔻 Why does Islam give sinners time and opportunities?
👉🏼 Destiny (13)
🔸In order for people to be able to produce increased value, in addition to the internal conflict between good and bad likings, the external environment must also be such a way that people can be #tested. This means it should be possible to sin and to do good deeds.
🔸But it doesn’t mean there must be both bars and mosques! This means if someone drinks alcohol in hiding in his house, he shouldn’t be accosted. You shouldn’t even expose, disgrace, or gossip about him. According to traditions, if he sinned yesterday and you see him the next day, you should assume he has repented and not think that he is a #sinner.
🔸Of course, it is natural that this way of dealing with sinners will give them the #opportunity to sin again, and this method makes sinners bolder. It is because of this method that it appears that the 124,000 divine prophets did not succeed. But if God wanted human beings to be good by force, he wouldn’t have created them at all.
🔸Without a doubt it should be possible to sin, but this doesn’t mean that we should ruin the environment in such a way that it is no longer possible to do good deeds or that people should be encouraged to sin.
🔸Westerners frequently make claims about #freedom, but interestingly this concept isn’t in the Holy Qur’an. Rather, there is the concept “the opportunity to choose.” But these two concepts are different. The freedom they have designed is such that the society is so corrupted that people don’t dare to do good deeds.
🔸In the west there is freedom to be bad and it is even pushed on people, but freedom for becoming good is limited. An example is the way good people, the sanctities, and the prophets are ridiculed in the name of “freedom of expression.” This ridiculing disrupts the testing system.
🔸We are in favor of preserving the testing system. In order to do this, there must be the opportunity for sin to the extent determined by the divine laws of #Islam.
