Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi: Real Human Civilization Shapes only in the light of Religiosity and Connecting with God

“Real human civilization and civility is formed only in light of religiosity and connecting with God”, Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi said.


In meeting with members of Islam Warriors Corps, Member of Board of Directors of the Assembly of the Experts mentioned that all people need to communicate with the guides and the Infallibles (A.S.) for guidance and added, “Man need to have connection with the Infallibles (A.S.) and if the connection is interrupted, man will really lose his humanity.”
Noting that the prophets and the Infallibles (A.S.) have come to train people on relgion, Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi reiterated, “Pilgrimage is the position of proximity to God and shows the resolution for becoming a pilgrim from a mere visitor; Astan Quds Razavi is the grand school of human construction where the holy presence of Imam Reza (A.S.) teaches the lesson of humanity and how to live.”
 Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi viewed using the capacity of pilgrimage of the Razavi Holy Shrine as an effective way of solving a lot of social problems in the society and said, “This holy place is a place of spiritual transformation and human empowering; many problems are solvable thanks to the blissful presence of Imam Reza (A.s.) and the spiritual and strong capacities of Astan Quds Razavi; the current problems occur just because we have failed to make use of this spiritual capacity properly.”
Referring to the binding of great religious scholars to pilgrimage, Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi said, “That Imam Khomeini (R.A.) managed to change the world by the Islamic Revolution and inspired the Islamic Awakening is because he recited Jamea Kabira pilgrimage prayer continuously for 14 years in Najaf each day before the start of the course at the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (A.S.).”
Stressing that the human civilization happens in line with religiosity, Member of the Supreme Council asserted, “Civilization and human civility without religiosity and connection with God will finally result in savagery and what the prophets and the Infallibles (A.S.) attempted to fulfill was to change the man into the caliph of God and to have a life of spirituality and guidance.”
“Imam Reza’s (A.S.) migration from Medina to Marv took pace by a divine plan in order to form civilization in the light of religiosity; what has been the most effective factor of humans’ guidance in this plan has been the monotheism discourse.”
 At the end of his speech, the Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi referred to the unique capacity of Mashhad to become a scientific authority and pointed out, “The presence of Imam Ali ibn-i Musa al-Reza (A.S.) as the savant of the household of Muhammad (S.A.W.) and the founder of the dialogue between religions is the best place for scientific issues and we believe that Mashhad, thanks to the Razavi Holy Shrine and to the enjoyment of the old seminary and distinguished universities, can become a scientific authority in the Islamic world.”
 Razavi conduct, a way of contemporary human’s salvation from wandering
Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi also met with seminarians of Qom and Tabriz seminaries, professors of women seminaries and Razavi servants aids of  Astan Quds Razavi provincial offices and described pilgrimage as one of the most important elements of decision and said, “pilgrimage should be accompanied by a decision so that big changes might occur to the behavior of the pilgrim; the Razavi Holy Shrine is a place where man should decide to tread in the steps of the Muhammadian and the Razavi conducts.”
 Member of the Assembly of Experts considered the insightful pilgrimage of Imam Reza (A.S.) a factor in the spirit’s freedom from the evil temptations and defined the pilgrimage, “Pilgrimage means deciding to turn from a visitor to a pilgrim and if this goal is achieved, the pilgrimage will serve as a human construction school and a big changer.”
Describing the Razavi conduct as a way of salvation of contemporary man from wanderings and deviations, he remarked, “Seeking refuge in God and the Infallible Imams (A.S.) is the only way that can safeguard the modern humans against hordes of deviations and to give them peace and comfort.”
 At the end, the Grand Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi said, “To the extent a man approaches Imam Reza (A.S.), he can become close to God; his holiness is the manifestation of the throne of approval and the preparation of divine consent.”
