In the heat of Ashura and martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), third Shia Imam and grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Abdul Aziz Akhoond Davari, Iranian Sunni cleric in an exclusive interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) lauded the awakening of the regional people as a fruit of martyrs in Karbala and said the true Islam will dominate forever.
When asked on the philosophy of Ashura and objectives of Imam Hussein (AS) in his uprising against the oppressors of the time, he called third Shia Imam as a pioneer of fighting against the arrogant powers and said,†Before Imam Hussein (AS) no one had stood against the tyrant rulers; therefore, he became the symbol of liberality and confrontation with tyranny.â€
According to the Sunni figure he who knows about Ashura, would know how third Shia Imam and his companions were oppressed.
He said the event will survive throughout history and will deface the enemies of Islam.
“Uprising of Imam Hussein (AS) brought the insight to Muslims and that protection of Islam is the highest priority.†Said Abdul Aziz Akhoond Davari and called for spread of the objectives of Ashura by Shia and Sunni scholars.
This Sunni figure also said,†Similar to Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions who stood against oppression and spread of the true teachings of Islam, Muslims in some countries have risen for prevalence of justice and demanding their rights from the arrogant rulers.â€
He also warned against the enemies who pursue the ways to fade out the role of Islamic uprisings in Islamic Awakening.
Abdul Aziz Akhoond Davari noted,â€Enemies have constantly failed due to the true belief of the people, following the way of Imam Hussein (AS) as well as maintaining their resistance and unity.â€
Iranian Sunni scholar referred to the influential role of the uprising by Imam Hussein (AS) on world revolutionary moves and demanded Muslims to pursue the thoughts, deeds, manners and lifestyle of third Shia Imam.
