In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Again with the arrival of the month of Muharram, it has begun the glorious ceremony of Imam Husain which is one of the greatest symbols of the faith. For certain reasons the ceremonies and the processions of Imam Husain should be held more splendid than the previous years to annul the plots of enemies by magnifying these Islamic symbols. Therefore everyone should observe the following points:
1- The honorable preachers must clarify the philosophy of the movement of Imam Husain and its annual commemoration.
2- The honorable panegyrists must increase the love and passion of youth toward these ceremonies by using long and high concept poems and they should avoid blasphemous poems and styles which vilify these ceremonies.
3- The mourning congregations have to do their best to hold this ceremony as magnificent as possible, they should not permit anyone to do some acts which vilify the religion and give pretext to the enemies using the name of mourning congregation, acts like using music instruments, striking heads by sward, etc. although some people do these acts due to their passion toward imam Husain (a), but they should express this passion in a way that is acceptable and admitted by Imam Mahdi (a)
4- All the lovers of this movement, men and women and especially the youth should observe the discipline of these ceremonies because with discipline every work will be more glorious and magnificent, meanwhile everyone must avoid raising sectarian issues in these ceremonies because these ceremonies are the reunion of unity not a mean for conflict and gap.
5- All thanks be to Allah; our society and our country is politically independent, but unfortunately recently it has seen some signs of cultural dependence in some Medias, in some social relations and in some state institutions which leads to Islamic-norm violation. By taking advantage of the ceremony of Ashura we should return to our Islamic originality and release ourselves f r o m the hidden influence of corrupted western culture. We seek help f r o m the light of Imam Husain and the ceremony Ashura. “Husain is the Guiding light and ship of salvation”
