New Civilization-Making Stage of Islamic Civilization Has Begun
Today, thanks to the great movement that began with the great revolution of the Iranian people, the Islamic Ummah has entered a new stage that can be called the new civilization-making stage of the Islamic civilization.
Secretary General of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening Ali Akbar Velayati made the remark on Monday in an address to the opening ceremony of the World Conference of Muslim Ummah’s Ulama (scholars) and Islamic Awakening.
He said in the not very distant past the affairs of the Islamic Ummah used to be decided in the capitals of western or eastern powers but thanks to the endeavors made by the Islamic Ulama and Muslim nations many Islamic countries gained the opportunity to determine their fate.
Dr Velayati said many Muslim scholars like Ayatollah Mirza Shirazi, Imam Musa Sadr, Ayatollah Motahari, and others made sacrifices and even lost their lives to defend the religion and stand against the domination of foreigners.
“The new tide of Islamic Awakening began with the historical endeavors of Imam Khomeini (RA), the great reviver of Islam in the contemporary era, and has continued with the untiring endeavors and guidance of Imam Khamenei.”
He said that since the beginning of the new tide of Islamic Awakening in Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa, extensive attempts have been made by Western powers to hijack the movement and portray it as part of Western liberal democracy.
“This is while for many people (in these countries) freedom and democracy are grounds for revival of religious values.”
Dr Velayati stated that in order to confront the West’s attempts to hijack revolutionary developments, with four international conferences were held in the Islamic Republic of Iran with the theme of Islamic Awakening.
He said the first was the International Conference on “Youths and Islamic Awakening”. It was followed by the international conferences of “Women and Islamic Awakening” and “Academics of the Muslim World” and the latest one is the current conference of Ulama and Islamic Awakening.
Secretary General of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening went on to say that the two-day conference on Muslim Ummah’s Ulama (scholars) and Islamic Awakening aims to prepare the ground for exchange of ideas and thoughts to promote the Islamic Awakening.
The international event began on Monday morning with a speech by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khamenei.
