"May Allah sanctify his soul", stressing that the regime fell when it executed a great religious reference and thinker as Imam Al-Sadr, albeit later revealed in 2003.
H.E. referred to a glimpse of the life of Imam Al-Hassan "PBUH" and the challenges he faced, and expressed his refusal to differentiate between Imam Hassan's and Imam Hussein's approaches "PBUT". As they have the same approach, which is Islamic. As sometimes it requires peace and reconciliation and sometimes it requires jihad and fighting the unjust. H.E. indicated that Imam Al-Hassan "PBUH" suffered from complex social conditions and suffered from societal division and opposing military forces, hypocrites, opportunistic, and selfish stakeholders. He also suffered from the arbitrator who were unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood as well as exteriors, public opinion makers, and sincere believers who are unable to appreciate things and lack full awareness in analyzing the positions of the Imam “PBUH”.
H.E. also indicated the last group of society under Imam Al-Hasan, which was represented by a group of believers who are conscious and understanding of the Approach of Imam Al-Mujtaba “PBUH”. H.E. even explained that the terms forced by Imam Al-Hassan “PBUH” on Muawiya when making peace with him, stripped him of his legitimacy and destroyed his justice. some of the terms were to abandon cursing Imam Ali on platforms, redress the people of Kufa and the martyrs of the Battle of Siffin and the Battle of the Camel, and stop prosecuting opposition and harming them. Imam Al-Hasan stipulated on Muawiya before all of the terms to never call him the Prince of Believers and not to ask him for his testimony.
His Eminence called to introduce the crimes of the defunct dictatorial regime and that dark era for the new generations that lived and haven’t realized the danger. Indicating that Sayyid Salih Al-Bakhati was humble and rejected positions and spotlights, sincere, loyal, and down-to-earth. All of these unique leadership abilities represent a valuable lesson that must be brought into our daily lives. H.E. lauded the Jihad history of the Jihad and Binaa Movement in fighting dictatorship and building the new Iraq and facing terrorism in all of its names.
