Indonesia prospered due to people’s love for Ahlul-Bayt, high-ranking official says

Jombang, a local newspaper in Indonesia, quoted an interesting statement by Seyed Marzooqi Moostamar, Speaker of the State Assembly of East Java Province, with regards to Ahlul-Bayt, peace be upon them.

Moostamar states that Indonesia is a safer and easier land to express love and loyalty to the Prophet’s family, peace be upon them, than many other countries in the world.

He emphasizes that the people of this country use this opportunity to show their abundant love to the Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them).

This statement adds that the prominent Indonesian official cited the hadith of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, that “scholars are the inheritors of prophets” to emphasize that the legacy of prophethood and imamate is carried on by prominent scholars, who are in fact the Infallible and Pure Ahlul-Bayt of the Holy Prophet of Islam.

He further pointed out that God has made Ahlul-Bayt the guarantors of security in all countries, and therefore it is obligatory to pay tribute and respect to them at any time and place.

The statement also notes that the repeated failures and the humiliating end of the defunct Ba’ath regime in Iraq happened because of the insolence of its leader towards the beloved grandson of the Messenger of God, Imam Hussein, peace be upon him.
