Press Release on the Terrorist Attacks during the month of Ramadan

"Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!" (Holy Quran 26:227)

The terrorist attacks against the innocent followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) in Iraq have increased recently in various bombings of civilian gatherings in Baghdad and number of governates in Iraq during the Holy month of Ramadan. These terrorist acts have resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of hundreds of civilians, while the international, Islamic and Arabic organizations remain quiet. This confirms that these attacks are part of regional plot that will have dangerous consequences on the security of the regional and of the world.

As we ask Almighty Allah to send His mercy on the souls of the martyrs and to grant the wounded fast recovery. We strongly condemn these savage attacks and emphasize on the following:
Firstly: It is necessary for the Iraqi government and the Judiciary to fulfill their responsibility in bringing the perpetrators to justice and in protecting civilian citizens, especially the followers of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) as they are the primary target of terrorism.
Secondly: We call the international community, especially the international organizations, to classify such crimes as crimes against humanity, since they are genocides that resulted from hate culture and shedding human blood on religious bases which are violations of the international laws and ethics.

"There is no power save from Allah, the All-High, the All-Great".

The Office of the Religious Authority, Sayyid Mohammed Saeed Al-Hakeem.

Day Questions

Would you please comment on chapter 35 verse 32: it says that \"Allah chose some to inherit the Quran and among them are ones who wrong themselves and some who are good in deeds\". Who are the ones that wrong themselves?

It was reported in the narrations of Ahlulbait the explanation of this verse. Those elected ones to inherit the book are Ahlulbait and their descendants. What appears from the narrations is that the one who outstrip (others) through good deeds is the Imam, and the ones with good deeds is the one with high rank in faith and in good conduct, and the one who wrong themselves is the ones with shortcomings but without refusal to the truth or call for misguidance.

As a doctor, I have to treat women. What rules must I follow to ensure I do not do anything forbidden?

You are permitted to treat female patient who comes to you for treatment. You should avoid direct skin contact, by wearing gloves, for example. Also, you should avoid looking at them with lust.

If we felt an earthquake, but do not perform the Prayer of Signs, will it still be necessary to perform it later?

If the duty-bound person is aware of the earthquake and did not offer the prayer during the time of the earthquake, it is obligatory to make it up based on compulsory precaution.
