Press Release on the Terrorist Attacks during the month of Ramadan

"Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!" (Holy Quran 26:227)

The terrorist attacks against the innocent followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) in Iraq have increased recently in various bombings of civilian gatherings in Baghdad and number of governates in Iraq during the Holy month of Ramadan. These terrorist acts have resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of hundreds of civilians, while the international, Islamic and Arabic organizations remain quiet. This confirms that these attacks are part of regional plot that will have dangerous consequences on the security of the regional and of the world.

As we ask Almighty Allah to send His mercy on the souls of the martyrs and to grant the wounded fast recovery. We strongly condemn these savage attacks and emphasize on the following:
Firstly: It is necessary for the Iraqi government and the Judiciary to fulfill their responsibility in bringing the perpetrators to justice and in protecting civilian citizens, especially the followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) as they are the primary target of terrorism.
Secondly: We call the international community, especially the international organizations, to classify such crimes as crimes against humanity, since they are genocides that resulted from hate culture and shedding human blood on religious bases which are violations of the international laws and ethics.

"There is no power save from Allah, the All-High, the All-Great".

The Office of the Religious Authority, Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem.

What does the Quran say about people born with various illnesses, deformities and handicaps? How does Allah explain it?

Allah Almighty created this life for testing and trialing us; He did not create it to be a place of happiness. Rather, eternal happiness is in the Hereafter after passing the tests of this life. Almighty Allah might create a person without the sense of sight or hearing, or create a person that suffers from chronic disease, or create a healthy person who lives in poverty, or one that suffers an accident that results in losing a limb or a sense, or any other trials and tests that people undertake. One should respond to that with gratitude for the other blessings that God has bestowed upon him and with patience over his suffering, so he that he becomes deserving of the rewards of gratitude and patience. This itself will be the means to alleviate his suffering and pain, as long as he believes that all of this is in the hands of Almighty Allah, the Merciful.
