Statement by the Jurisprudent Leader Sheikh Isa Qassim on the Competent Revival of the Memory of the Creative Husayni Revolution
The jurisprudent leader Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim has issued a statement regarding the competent and capable revival of the memory of the creative Husayni revolution. The text reads as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
A competent and capable revival of the memory of the creative Husayni revolution and its battle in Karbala must profoundly and powerfully evoke, in the minds of the believing nation, in the hearts of its pure sons and daughters, and in their faithful, revolutionary will, the ultimate purpose of life — the purpose that grants life its supreme value and immense worth. Without it, life becomes trivial, burdensome, and weightless, stripped of profound wisdom and a noble goal that captivates minds and makes souls willing to sacrifice.
This purpose culminates in the knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, and in attaining His divine pleasure. It is not achieved except by a lifetime of sincere and continuous striving to perfect the self and to elevate all aspects of one’s life — and the life of the broader human society — on the path of faith, obedience, and worship of the One, the Almighty God.
This great divine goal of human life lies behind every movement and stillness in all the stances of the revolution of the infallible Imam Husayn (peace be upon him).
O believers, seek to revive the word of Islam, its sovereignty, the dignity and unity of the nation, its guidance, and its decisive victory — by commemorating the memory of the Karbala revolution with all strength, awareness, brotherhood, elevated reason, and deep faith, as true Islam has laid out.
Revive the days of Ashura in a manner pleasing to Allah, the Almighty — and in doing so, you will revive Islam and the nation, and ultimately, nations will follow your lead.
Isa Ahmed Qassim
