In the province of Najaf al-Ashraf, and under the
patronage of the Central Office of His Eminence the Grand Marja', Ayatollah
Al-Udhma Sheikh Bashir Hussain Al-Najafi (may Allah prolong his life), the
annual conference for the honorable delegates and representatives of the Office
was held in its eleventh edition. The conference was held under the slogan:
"Building Society is Our Collective Responsibility." The conference took place with the attendance and
participation of the representative of His Eminence the Najafi Marja' ( may
Allah prolong his life) and the director of his Central Office, His Eminence
Sheikh Ali al-Najafi, along with other respected and virtuous figures, within
the framework of the blessed annual meeting. The director of the Office of His Eminence the Marja' (
may Allah prolong his life ), His Eminence Sheikh Ali Al-Najafi, delivered the
conference's keynote address. He welcomed all attendees, congratulating them on
the commencement of the conference, which is held annually to discuss and
identify the most effective ways to fulfill our significant responsibility
towards religion, the homeland, and its dear people in our beloved Iraq. His Eminence addressed numerous issues of common
concern, emphasizing the importance of understanding and diagnosing them, and
then developing appropriate solutions for each. The goal is to formulate a
unified and comprehensive vision for the exceptional circumstances we live in,
which require—given the situation—swift action following the establishment of
practical and clear plans in this regard. Throughout his speech, he stressed the necessity of
drawing up well-defined programs to confront challenges and reach
recommendations that would enhance the principles of defending religion and the
homeland. He emphasized the need to bear the full responsibility placed upon us
in our missionary and message-bearing work, and to continue the stages of our
efforts in serious, diligent, and integrated work, as he phrased it. The objective of this is to ensure our efforts are
naturally combined with those of all believers, working hand in hand to build a
righteous society worthy of the message of the prophets and the saints; and
excellent are those as companions. His Eminence also pointed to the great efforts exerted
by the respected agents and representatives of the noble Office during the past
period, especially during the great million-strong pilgrimages (Ziyarat), and
the continuous outcomes we see in various fields of religious propagation and
its many activities. This includes supporting faithful youth, strengthening
their connection to their righteous religious authority, organizing summer
courses, and their presence at scientific and tribal forums—all for the call to
a common word. He also addressed a number of issues of national depth,
the importance of communicating with the youth and the rising generation, and
focusing on disseminating the knowledge of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them
all), due to its great importance in developing intellectual thought through
platforms of knowledge and research or the Husseini pulpit. He explained
methods for working according to a purposeful program to attract youth and remove
obstacles from their path, for the sake of the public good. The respected and virtuous figures presented a number
of speeches, outlining some of the issues they have presented to society and
the work and effort they exert to raise the banner of the authentic Muhammadan
Islam. This is achieved through their daily and continuous contributions and
activities in serving the passionate people of Iraq, particularly in their
specialized fields of propagation, religion, ethics, doctrine, and many others.
They also extended their thanks and appreciation for the patronage of this conference by the director of the Office of His Eminence the Najafi Marja' (may Allah prolong his life), His Eminence Sheikh Ali al-Najafi, and for the significant attention and notable presence he dedicated to ensuring the success of this blessed conference. |
