The Effects of Unjust Sentences and Message to Rulers
Ayatollah Nouri Hamadani criticized the recent actions of some rulers in the region who have issued unjust sentences against scholars to silence the voice of truth and justice, emphasizing that such sentences will not silence the voice of truth and justice but will instead pave the way for the downfall and discredit of those who issue them. He also advised the rulers of these countries to unite with religious scholars in the fight against imperialism and Zionism, which seek to eradicate the essence of Islam, rather than confronting them.
At the end of the message, Ayatollah Nouri Hamadani prayed to Almighty God for the dignity and honor of Islam and the support of oppressed scholars, and he prayed for their liberation from the bondage of oppressors. This message reflects his love and devotion to religious scholars and the faithful people, showing that in difficult times, the voice of truth must always be raised.
