Lebanon, SAEDNEWS, Oct. 31: In a televised speech on the occasion of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) Birthday, Seyed Nasrallah called on the French authorities and public opinion to avoid blaming Islam and all Muslims for the attack which targeted Nice City or any other area in the world, confirming that such acts are illegitimate and immoral and that only the culprits must be persecuted, Al-Manar reported. Seyed Nasrallah rejected the French President Emmanuel Macron’s use of the “Islamic Terror” term, underscoring the obligation of respecting Islam and wondering whether religions can be blamed for crimes committed by individuals.
In this context, his eminence said that no one blamed Christianity for the crimes committed by the French military in Algeria or the atrocities of the US army all over the world. Seyed Nasrallah emphasized that the takfiri and terrorist groups in the Middle East, especially in Syria and Iraq, have been protected by the US administration and the European governments, adding that employing those terrorists to carry out certain political and military scheme must be stopped. “You will pay the price of supporting the terrorist groups,” Seyed Nasrallah addressed the Western States.
Seyed Nasrallah maintained that if some Muslims have distorted their own religion, this does not give the others any right to abuse Islam, stressing that the Islamic teachings have nothing to do with the crimes committed by the terrorist groups.
Hezbollah leader pointed out that the recent tensions in France started with publishing that cartoons which abuse Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), continued in the form of Muslim protests against the insults and developed into the murder of the French history teacher.
“Instead of addressing the root causes of the problem, the French authorities waged a war of this sort, claiming that it is a matter of freedom of speech,” he said.
“What is the message which the French authorities want to send to the Muslims by insisting on allowing the cartoons which insult Islam?” Seyed Nasrallah added.
Seyed Nasrallah called on France and the other Western States to convince the Muslims that it is a matter of freedom of speech, adding that facts prove other abuses, especially those related to ‘Israel’ are banned.
Seyed Nasrallah stressed that the freedom of speech in France is restricted, citing the example of the philosopher Roger Geraudy who was persecuted for denying the Holocaust.
Hezbollah Secretary General stressed that the aim is not instigating hostilities and conflicts, calling on the French authorities to address their sin and confirming that the Muslims can never accept any humiliation and insult against their Prophet (PBUH).
“Undoing the mistake is not succumbing to terrorism. Be fair as the insults against the Prophet can never be tolerated by all the Muslims. Even the political regimes cannot cover up such abuses. So, you have to withdraw the excuses and stop this violation,” Seyed Nasrallah addressed the French authorities.
Seyed Nasrallah called for adopting the proposal of Egypt’s Al-Azhar based legislating international laws that criminalize abusing the religions and sanctities, underscoring that freedom of speech must not be away from restrictions so that the world countries avoid paying heavy prices for these violations.
Yemen
Hezbollah Secretary General highlighted the million-man celebration of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) across the Yemeni provinces despite the Saudi-led aggression and blockade in addition to the poverty crisis and the pandemic outbreak, stressing that this reflects the depth of their Islamic faith, love to the Prophet and readiness to defend Him.
“Millions of Yemenis march for hours before listening to the speech of the dear Seyed Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, voice commitment to the Palestinian cause and reiterate readiness to defend the Palestinians, while those, who enjoy a luxurious life and have never engaged in any war with ‘Israel’, rush to abandon Palestine and normalize ties with the enemy,” he said.
This should be a divine indication that the Yemenis must be supported and that the Saudi-led war on Yemen must be immediately stopped, according to Seyed Nasrallah.
“All those who back the Saudi-Emirati-Sudanese aggression on Yemen must reconsider their calculations immediately,” he added.
Lebanon
Domestically, Seyed Nasrallah expressed hopes of a speedy cabinet formation, stressing that Hezbollah will cooperate with all the parties in this regard.
“It’s time to form the new government, not to engage in disputes,” he said.
Regarding the sharp rise in the number of coronavirus cases, Seyed Nasrallah urged all the residents to commit the anti-pandemic measures and highlighted the religious aspect of this commitment.
Prophet Mohammad’s Birthday
Seyed Nasrallah felicitated all the Muslims around the world on the Birthday of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and His Grandson Imam Jaafar Al-Sadek (P).
Seyed Nasrllah stressed that the Prophet’s Birth was the prelude of announcing the unaltered and the final revelation of the Holy God, adding that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) showed a number of miracles as all the other Prophets.
The eternal miracle of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is the Holy Coran which has been preserved for 1400 years and will remain till the Resurrection Day in accordance with the divine promise and can never be matched by any human book, Seyed Nasrallah pointed out.
Seyed Nasrallah stressed that Muslims love, appreciate, respect and sanctify Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) more than any other human being, though they love all the other Prophets.
Muslims disagree on many jurisdictional, political and other issues; however, one of the issues that have remained consensual among them through history is their love to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and belief in His Greatness as a perfect human and closest creature to Holy Allah, according to Seyed Nasrallah.
“This love is not only cognitive and philosophical but also spiritual. Muslims glorify their Prophet (PBUH) and consider his distinguished position, so they may never tolerate any humiliation or insult against Him,” Seyed Nasrallah said.
Seyed Nasrallah emphasized that Muslims consider defending Prophet Mohammad (PBUH as a top priority above any other issue and find it obligatory to respond to any abuse which targets the Messenger.
Seyed Nasrallah postponed tackling a number of other topics, including the normalization deal with the Zionist enemy, the military drills of the Israeli occupation army and the situation on Lebanon’s southern border, due to the time consideration for the upcoming speech scheduled to be on November 11 on the occasion of Hezbollah Martyr’s Day (Source: Fars News).
