The second sermon of Friday prayer of the 16th of Jumada II 1440 AH, corresponding to February 22, 2019, which was held in the holy shrine of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) and led by his eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi, included important points such as:
- - Some social problems began to strike strongly our society and our country
- - We categorized the roles that can be promoted by the community starting by the family and the school in regard with the education aspect
- - If everyone takes the responsibility of facing the negative issues in the society, all the problems will be solved
- - If people don’t feel the responsibility and don’t realize it, the situation will remain chaotic so there must be a solution for that.
- - Some issues need constant coordination
- - The society must stand together to solve their issues, especially the issues that have been disintegrating family bonds and education
- - Giving up means that issues will prevail.
- - Letting our problems prevail means we are plunging into chaos.
- - Some problems began to break up the family bonds as well as the educational impact, there is no longer sanctity of education
- - In the state of chaos, no one is respected and everything became allowed.
- - The chaos is ended only by being rationed and by huge efforts
- - The cognition, awareness and maturity need to be reinforced
- - Not everyone who says they are mature is true; maturity is to comprehend the condition we are living – and it has nothing to do with the academic degree; being mature to tackle the society’s issues indicates discernment and civility.
- - The consciousness and awareness needs realization and work. There must be a deterrent to any chaos
- - Teachers, fathers, and older brothers must be respected, because one has a religious, legal or customary deterrent.
- - Problems can sometimes be tackled through law, and sometimes through ethics, customs, and religion.
- - No-one can deny Iraq’s history, customs, religion, and law
- - If customs and law are dispensed with, how bad the situation will be?
- - We must know that chaos is the absence of law, which can be done by a lawman breaking the law, a person with customs violating the customs, or a cleric infringing religion.
- - Every society must have a reference to prevent its deterioration
- - Everyone must shoulder its responsibility in order to preserve society and its cohesion
- - There is no solution except to return to the religious, legal and customary values in a way that not conflict with them.
- - People must re-embrace their religious, legal, and customary values in a way those values should not contradict
- - The society’s conditions requires that everyone should take the responsibility to protect it.
