His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem, on 16 February 2020, received a group of youth from Baghdad, children of martyrs who died fighting in the Popular Mobilization Forces (Al-Hashd Al-Sha’bi) against Daesh.

His Eminence praised the clear and manifest courage of their fathers and their sacrifice for their religion, their homeland and the holy shrines. By the grace of Allah and through their sacrifice and spilling of their noble blood, they were victorious over the enemies.

His Eminence called them to follow the Holy Prophet and the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them all), and that their ethics and morals should by distinctly higher than others, and that they should adhere to the teachings of the Sharia.

His Eminence concluded by praying to the Most High and Mighty to provide support for them and to support those who serve and help the orphans, that their Ziyarah is accepted, and that they see the blessings of it in this life and the Hereafter. He finally requested that his greetings and best wishes be conveyed to their families.

Day Questions

Do I need to pay Khums on the money for which I have paid last year?

It is not obligatory to pay Khums from monies that Khums was paid from in past years.

Is my husband allowed to forbid me from contacting my family if he has a problem with them?

You do not have to obey him in this issue unless your contact involves leaving the house without his permission or the usage of a means of communication that belongs to him. However, it is better to convince him to allow it.

Is it right for Sayyids to treat us non-Sayyids poorly and as a low caste?

Nobody has the right to humiliate anybody else. Everyone belongs to Adam and Eve. Sayyids – as they are the descendants of the Prophet – are supposed to follow the footsteps of their grandfather (peace be upon him and his pure progeny). He was the highest example of humbleness and high ethics. He also emphasized on equality between people and the differentiation is only by good deeds.
