Grand Ayatollah Makarem: "We Hope Shrines of Baqi’s Imams would be Built Magnificently One Day"

Condemning the insulting destruction of all the Islamic monuments in the two holy shrines especially tombs of Baqi’s Imams, Grand Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi asserted, “Over 80 years ago on Shawwal 8 (16th August), the stupid Wahhabis ruined the magnificent shrine of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) in Baqi.”

Noting that Shawwal 8 is the mourning day not only for Shi’as but for all Muslim nations, the great scholar said, “This is the day, when the tombs of the sons of the prophet (S.A.W.) were destroyed by a group of stupid people with the false excuse of polytheism.”

“Polytheism means regarding someone or something equal to God but when we visit their shrines in fact, we view the great Infallible Imams (A.S.) as intercessors between us and God that is mentioned many times in the holy Qur’an as a monotheism fact”, he stressed.

Wahhabis ashamed Islam

Noting that Wahabis have no true knowledge of Qur’an and tradition (Sunnah) and try to show the traditions of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) reverse, he continued, “Despite publishing yearly millions copies of holy Qur’an, this people, unaware of the Islamic injunctions and holy Qur’an, ruined the tombs of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) and ashamed Islam; we hope God may make them ashamed.”

Destroying the expressive history of Muslims

“This illiterate and stupid group not only ruined the tombs of Baqi’s Imams but destroyed all the historical monuments of Mecca and Medina that were symbols of grandeur of Islam while all people of the world attempt to preserve their own historical monuments at any cost”, he added.

Noting that they consider this Islamic heritage as their personal property and assume that Mecca and Medina only belong to them, this religious authority asserted, “It should be asked why they did so and deprived the Islamic world from these things? The Islamic monuments belong to all the Muslims of the world and every thing accomplished there should be compromised by all Muslims.”

“I have recommended many times that all the great Muslim scholars should gather and the holy shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.) should be managed by representatives from all the Islamic countries so that events like Shawwal 8 event would not happen any more”, he asserted.

Referring to the sura Nesa, verse 64 in which God calls people to the prophet (S.A.W.) and says: O prophet, when they commit sin coming to you, ask forgiveness for yourself and for them as God is compassionate and merciful, he said, “Wahhabi scholars who are not religiously as knowledgeable as even a regular seminarian of our country in justifying this verse make a big insolence to the prophet (S.A.W.) claiming that this verse refers to the lifetime of the prophet (S.A.W.) only.”

“These excommunicated Wahhabis made the biggest insolence to the presence of the prophet (S.A.W.) and although Qur’an maintains that the martyrs are alive they do not view the position of the prophet (S.A.W.) even as a martyr”, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi stressed.

“If they do not consider the position of the prophet (S.A.W.) even as least as a martyr then why they solute the prophet (S.A.W.) in their prayer?” he pointed out.

“We hope one day the tombs of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) would be built more magnificently and just like the tombs of the two Askari Imams in Samara that were ruined and now are being rebuilt more magnificently, the same would happen for the tombs of Baqi’s Imams”, he added.

Sura Wal-Asr is the plan of human felicity

Referring to sura Wal-Asr, he asserted, “Wal-Asr has only three verses but the commentators believe that these three verses indicate a thorough plan for human felicity.”

“At the beginning of this sura, God swears by the time and that humans are afflicted with loss unless those who have faith and do good deeds and recommend each other to truth and patience”, he reiterated.

Referring to a tradition from Imam Sadeq (A.S.), he asserted, “Regarding the virtue of this sura, his holiness says that if anyone recites this sura in his supererogatory prayers, God will resurrect him with a shining and bright face and eyes in the resurrection day and he will enter to the Heaven as reward.”

Necessity of Islamic thought penetration into curriculum

Noting that the education ministry intends to prepare the book of training music for the youth, Ayatollah Makarem said, “The environment is full of music. What would happen if the youth are not familiar with music? The thought to be inserted into the curriculum should be completely Islamic but not strange.”

It is notable that Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi gives lecture every Friday night after leading the collective Maghrib and Isha prayers in the Razavi Jame’ courtyard besides leading the collective Maghrib and Isha prayers in the Razavi Jame’ courtyard every evening.
