The Supreme Religious Authority, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Husseini al-Shirazi, has urged the world to reassess and reexamine Islam, emphasizing the need to understand the true teachings established by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, and practiced by Imam Ali, peace be upon him, and righteous scholars throughout history.

The Grand Marja stated that today’s world is experiencing various crises—political, economic, social, and psychological—which necessitate a renewed understanding of Islam’s pure principles, stressing that the authentic Islam followed by Imam Ali (AS) and devout scholars offers solutions to these challenges.
