مرکز ثقافت اور اسلامی روابط کی جانب سے امریکی سٹوڈنٹس سے اظہار یک جہتی کیلئے پوری دنیا سے درخواست۔مرکز ثقافت اور اسلامی روابط نے اپنے بیان میں فلسطین کے حامی یونیورسٹی طلباء کے خلاف امریکی حکومت اور پولیس کے ظالمانہ روئیے کی مزمت کرتے ہوئے،پوری دنیا کی دنیا کی یونیورسٹیوں اور تعلیمی اداروں سے اس حقیقی طلباء تنظیم کی حمایت کی درخواست کی ہے۔اس بیان میں آیا ہے کہ امریکہ میں اس طلباء تنظیم کی جانب سے امریکہ کی مختلف ریاستوں میں بیداری کی یہ لہر اور صہیونی مظالم اور شیطانی عزائم کی مزمت،آزادی بیان کے دعویداروں کی جانب سے طلباء کی ایک بڑی تعداد کی گرفتاری اور تشدد کا باعث بنی ہے۔ کیلفونیا سے ٹیکساس تک جو غیرت مند طلباء غزہ کے مظلوم لوگوں اور خاص کر بچوں اور عورتوں پر ظلم و تشدد کو روکنے کیلئے میدان میں نکلے،وہ کبھی بھی غزہ میں جنگ بندی،اسرائیلی ڈکٹیٹر کی نام نہاد یونیورسٹیوں اور تعلیمی اداروں سے قطع روابط اور غزہ میں نسل کشی کرنے والوں کو کٹہرے میں لانے جیسے بنیادی مطالبات سے پیچھے نہیں ہٹیں گے۔اس طلباء کی انسانیت پر مبنی تحریک نے اپنی حکمت عملی ،ثابت قدمی اور پیش قدمی کے ذریعہ خونخوار درندوں نیندیں حرام کر دی ہیں۔نہ صرف یہی بلکہ مغربی مغربی یونیورسٹیوں اور تعلیمی اداروں تک اس ظلم کی گونج پہنچا دی ہے۔اس تحریک کے تین بنیادی ارکان کی آگاہی،بصیرت اور استقامت نے امریکی ایوانوں میں زلزلہ برپا کر دیا ہے۔ایسی تحریک جو مغرب کے دیگر جغرافیائی اور تعلیمی شعبوں میں بھی پاپولر ہو رہی ہے،امریکہ کے شیطانی عزائم کیلئے خطرہ ثابت ہورہی ہے۔مرکز ثقافت اور روابط اسلامی ان یونیورسٹی طلباء اور اساتذہ کا تہہ دل سے مشکور ہے،جو امریکہ پر مسلط صیہونی لابی کے خوف کے باوجود غزہ کے مظلوموں کی حمایت میں میدان میں نکلے۔اور ان کے خلاف ہونے والے ہر ظالمانہ اقدام کی مزمت کرتا ہے۔یہ مرکز دنیا بھر کی یونیورسٹیوں،تعلیمی اور ثقافتی اداروں سے ہر طرح کے مذہبی،لسانی اور نسلی تعصبات سے بالا تر ہو کر اس امریکی طلباء تنظیم کی انسانیت پر مبنی حقیقت پسند تحریک کی بھر پور حمایت کی درخواست کرتا ہے۔ظاہر ہے کہ پوری دنیا کی جانب سے اس طلباء تنظیم سے اظہار یکجہتی اور حمایت،فلسطین اور غزہ کے مظلوم عوام سے ہی اظہار یکجہتی ہے،جو کسی بھی آزاد انسان کا اخلاقی فرض ہے۔امید ہے کہ اس طرح کی تحریکیں استکباری نظام کے مجرمانہ تسلط کے خاتمے،غزہ جنگ بندی اور صیہونی وحشیوں اور انکے حامیوں کی شکست کا باعث بنیں گی۔

In the name of Allah
For Muslims, Virgin Mary is the manifestation of piety and spiritual purity: Imam Khamenei
Dec 24, 2018

From the viewpoint of Muslims, Virgin Mary is the manifestation of piety and spiritual purity.-- "And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration.” [The Holy Quran, 66: 12].--This has been repeated several times in the Holy Quran.

In the Holy Quran Allah, the Exalted mentions the names of two women as perfect examples of faith. God also mentions the names of two women as examples of infidelity. "Allah sets forth, for an example to the unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: They were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants" [The Holy Quran, 66: 10]. These two women exemplify infidelity. That is to say, Allah the Exalted mentions women, not men, as examples of both infidelity and faith. "And Allah sets forth, as an example to those who believe the wife of Pharaoh" [The Holy Quran, 66: 11]. He mentions the wife of Pharaoh and Mary as two perfect examples of faith. "And Mary the daughter of Imran" [The Holy Quran, 66: 12].

Virgin Mary enlightens the world

Mary is the mother of Jesus and the daughter of Imran. Mary is a young lady who stands strongly like a mountain before the accusations and slandering looks of the people in her town and region, and she holds in high esteem the Word of God-- the Spirit, that God, the Exalted, has put in her pure body-- and offers her child like a source of light to the dark world of that time.

These two women [Mary and Asieh, Pharaoh's wife] enlighten the world. This shows that in the vast realm and big arena where all the people, from the first to the last, are gathered; when God the Exalted wants to choose two humans from among all the humans and introduce them as models and examples, He chooses two women--not two men, or a man and a woman. There are secrets in this.

The birth of Jesus Christ is so great that cannot be adequately described, unless through artistic works

Any time I read the Sura "Maryam", I am greatly impressed. This has been the case since my youth. This is because the story of that sura is a truly wonderful story. The story of the birth of Jesus Christ – in that particular place, at that particular time, and under those special circumstances – is so great that it cannot be adequately described, unless through artistic works.

This is an amazing and rare event – the role of the Virgin Mary and Zechariah in this event, the special social conditions of the time, and the teachings of Jesus Christ which were like a shining beacon of guidance that shed light on human life and minds. It should also be noted that the teachings of Jesus were no different than those of Moses – that is, they were a complement to the teachings of Moses. Most of the teachings of Jesus Christ were a repetition of the teachings of Moses. However, when Jesus Christ passed on his teachings, the followers of Moses were so alienated from his teachings that they believed the teachings of Jesus Christ were an innovation and an instance of blasphemy. This was because the teachings of Moses had been distorted. This was while the teachings of Moses and Jesus both originated from the same source. And the teachings of Jesus were based on the same concepts as those of Moses. Both the teachings of Moses and those of Jesus were sent to them through divine revelation. In this story, the role of distortions, the role of the powers of the time, and the selfishness and misunderstandings of some people are clearly mentioned.

There is one matter, in the Holy Quran about the Virgin Mary, which has attracted my attention to a great extent. From the viewpoint of Muslims, Virgin Mary is the manifestation of piety and spiritual purity.--"And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration.” [The Holy Quran, 66: 12].--This has been repeated several times in the Holy Quran.

The point about guarding her chastity has been greatly stressed when mentioning the Virgin Mary. What were the circumstances like? This is, in my opinion, a very important point. A girl came to a temple and stayed there until her youth. What factors and motivations caused her to resist all those temptations with such superhuman power? If her power was not superhuman, the issue would not be so greatly emphasized in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran says “guarded her chastity," which means that she remained pure. This is a very important matter and should be a lesson for everyone.

Through guarding her chastity and remaining pure in that critical situation, the Virgin Mary could change history
