Ayatollah Alansari’s speech on the Day of Revelation
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful
The Mercy of Allah be on Muhammad and His Progeny
We have to take advantage of such occasions which may lead to our goal. To be closer to the source of the message and apply it to the best and follow its instructions, the least is a gathering similar to the blessed one that we have in a specific place to raise God’s rites on earth. So we may communicate and mention the mercy of Allah and His grace, and to know one another. The aim is to be aware of the problems the Islamic nation is currently suffering and diagnose the cure. Also, to intensify the relations with which we put together the distant decisions that we may reach the reality that the great Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had come with. The family of the Prophet is the most informed of this issue. I congratulate the believers like you since you followed the clear approach and straight path.
We are in the fortieth year after the event of the Elephant. The barren mountains of Mecca are before our sight. These mountains are indeed barren. Those who witness them become closer to the meaning of Prophet Abraham in his supplication and worship of his God.
“O’ Lord! Verily I have housed a part of my offspring in a valley uncultivable, unto the Holy House, our Lord that they may establish prayer; so make the hearts of some of the people yearn unto them, and provide them with fruits, that they be grateful.”
The valley was unplanted and the sunshine reflected unto it creating dark grey colours with which an individual will experience loneliness and put him far from the life, so he may move onto many issues that he knows nothing except the dark colours that will lead him to the unknown. As a result of that, such human will sense fear and reverence. Perhaps that place is of the secrets that the Lord wanted for man so he can be close to Him when he arrives there. Because when man lives in such loneliness, the aim of and its secrets may become evident. It is the Holy House, the blessed Mosque and the area with which the Lord bestowed with His various kind and great care.
However, the people of Mecca had changed the first House built for worshiping God into worshiping their idols. The same idols made by the same people. It is a joke and the loss of mankind. Mankind are the most unlucky when they become distant form God, when they worship their whims and instincts.
“By the time, verily man is in loss.”
But we still have hope, when someone like Muhammad is amongst us.
Where are you, son of the dignified? Where are you, son of the prophets? Where are you, the successor of God on earth?
The voice and its echo come from between the mountains of Mecca and its valleys.
This is the son of Zamzam and Safa; this is the son of Mecca and Mena. This is the son of the purified whom were not befouled by the state of ignorance, and were not dressed its dark clothes. This is the pious and purified. This is the trustworthy, the faithful. This is Muhammad, son of Abdullah, worships Allah in a cave amongst the mountains of Faran facing the Holy House with a distant of 3 miles. He is there… it is the cave of Hiraa… in which God’s sound jingles to permeate it with fear, tranquility and calmness. “Read”, I do not read. “Read”, I do not read.
“Read, in the name of the Lord who created. Created man from a clot.”
And the Divine light begins from there in order to save people from darkness into light. It goes beyond time and place. It (the light) moves the idols and all fall down in prostration to the Lord of the worlds, so it may reside in the Holy House to move from there. Having waited long and harsh years which took everything, the first mosque is Islam was built in Qibaa, close from Yathreb. When the Prophet of Islam enters Madina, another great mosque was built there known as the Mosque of the Prophet. The mosque that even the Holy Prophet built himself with the assistance of His companions erected to have this great edifice. The launch of that Mosque was from there to reach this continent where we gather tonight. How grateful those who participate with the Prophet in erecting one house of God’s in a happy day where the Islamic invitation was launched so the world is full of good and dignity.
O’ God, make our road simple, whiten our faces and do not disgrace us on the Day of Judgment. Make us follow that truthful invitation and Your Honored Prophet.
“And you have a great example with the Messenger of Allah”.
