Pre-Meeting of the Fifth Global Congress of Imam Reza (pbuh)
Justice in Abrahamic religions and Razavi's Teachings
Pre-Meeting of the Fifth Global Congress of Imam Reza (pbuh)
(January 17, 1401)
In this pre-meeting, Dr. Seyed Mohammad Hadi Zulfaqari, Vice President of International Affairs of Astan Quds Razavi, said: Thirty years ago, we held three conferences and some scholars, professors and international figures like the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, participated and the gave vauable speeches at the time. And now, after thirty years, we are planning to hold the Global Congress of Imam Reza, peace be upon him, under the title of "Justice for everyone, Injustice for no one".
Then Mr. Dr. Antwone Parra,the Christian scholar from Kuwait, while expressing his satisfaction to attend this pre-meeting, gave a speech on justice in the Razavi school and said: "Achieving the truth is the goal of the apostles and saints at any time and place." . God's justice is the vertical justice between a person and his Lord, and it will never reach its meaning, unless some of the demands that the Creator God wants from his servant are combined with three other things: fasting, prayer, and zakat. If he prays and does not pay zakat, his prayer will not be accepted. The meaning of it is that justice should cover everyone and not accepting the rights of others is an unforgivable crime against humanity and a deviation from the divine obligation that the Creator has established for humans to cooperate and realize justice among them. It must become a popular practice among people so that there are no oppressed and oppressors, and this is the moral basis for them, which imposes justice and the law of justice at any time and place. Exceeding the limits of justice is absolutely reprehensible, because there are those who benefit from the blessings of the earth for what they do not deserve, and there are those who struglle to achieve their right, but they cannot get it.
In the end, Sheikh Dr. Suhaib al-Habli, head of the Sufi Association in Lebanon, pointed out the importance of the concept of justice and said:
The issue of justice is actually what Islam came for and Imam Khomeini supported the Islamic Republic for establishing justice. Imam Reza (peace be upon him) was even accepted among hisopponents, because he was the highest ideal of justice, he played his role in establishing justice from all social, intellectual and political aspects. Although he was not the actual ruler, he expressed the concepts and laws of Sharia to the people, because every person who follows the path of God considers himself to be God's successor on earth and must rule with justice, teach people about justice, and make these concepts clear to people.
