The representative of the Supreme Religious Authority: The Religion did not allow us to harm ourselves.

The representative of the Supreme Religious Authority; His Eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi, confirmed on Friday 24th Rajab 1441 AH corresponding to March 20, 2020, in a televised guidance word that the Religion did not allow us to harm ourselves, but rather we have to preserve it. Stating:

“According to our belief {Say, "Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector."} (9:51), thus the believer is always in a state f reassurance, as he knows that the Lord Who is the Most Merciful, and when the believer is dealing with the God Almighty with servitude and humility, he is always in serenity.

At the same time the religion is not allowing us to harm ourselves, but rather we have to protect ourselves from anything that may harm us.

Thus, we should not underestimate this epidemic and we should prepare all that help us to protect ourselves, our families and people by complying to the recommendations issued by the concerned parties.

Therefore living in serenity and surrendering to the Lord's will does not contradict to the fact that we should protect ourselves from this pandemic, which pray the Almighty God to push it away from us.”
