Ethics

In the same way the mourning programs have great importance and they may not be ignored, and the Husayni Sha’a’er have a significant role in revitalising the nations and no one can deny this fact. So too are the Qur’an recitation sessions, as the words of the Qur’an resonate in the hearts of the believers and occupy their entire existence such that the Qur’an verses become their aims and objectives. For the Qur’an rejects tyranny and oppression, or transgressing upon others’ rights or suppressing their freedoms or sending them on exile. Allah Almighty states in His Glorious Book, {Those who do not judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are the transgressors.} 41

{And do not transgress for Allah does not like the transgressors} 42

{Take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law.} 43

{Do the Unbelievers think that they can take My servants as protectors besides Me? Verily We have prepared Hell for the Unbelievers for (their) entertainment.} 44

When the Muslims read such verses from the Qur’an, Allah opens their hearts and they realise that the reality (of their society and of their country and circumstances) is contrary to what the Qur’an calls for. It is for such reasons that the tyrants endeavour to prevent the Husayni programs, since these programs expose the criminals and reveal the truth to the people. I shall mention an account from history in this respect and then come back to our discussion.
