These, he said, are the consequences of ignoring the laws established by the Prophet and his household, peace be upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grand Marja also strongly criticized government land monopolies, arguing that land should be a public resource managed for the benefit of the people, not state property. He warned that the ruler&#8217;s role in Islam is to serve society, not dominate its resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that even Western nations face deep humanitarian and economic problems despite apparent progress, because true happiness can only be achieved through the implementation of Islamic principles in all aspects of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al-Shirazi called on the entire world\u2014Muslims and non-Muslims alike\u2014to return to the Qur\u2019an and the life of the Prophet and his pure household, describing this as the only path to stability, prosperity, and lasting happiness. He referenced the Hadith of the Two Weighty Things (Hadith al-Thaqalayn), in which the Prophet guaranteed protection from misguidance for those who adhere to the Qur\u2019an and his family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Religious Authority, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Sadiq al-Husseini al-Shirazi, stated that the crises facing Islamic countries today\u2014particularly in housing, poverty, unemployment, low marriage rates, and rising divorce cases\u2014are rooted in the abandonment of divine governance and neglect of prophetic justice.
