A Review of the Concept of Love From the Viewpoint of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi

One can claim to be a true lover when one set aside the love for the self in order to be able to make sacrifices for his loved one. In fact, true love is realized when one forgets everything and everyone, even his own self, other than his loved one. A true lover would also forget his own selfish interests and is ready to make any kind of sacrifice for his loved one.

The Role of Women in Building a Dynamic Society From the Viewpoint of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi

It is most unfortunate that the concept of nakedness which has been widely promoted and facilitated in the west has only led to the pervasion of illicit relations, degrading the woman, who was herself the creator of human culture by introducing the Hijab initiative, to the level of a worthless “sex object”.

THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE SAUDI FAMILY IN MANAGING THE TWO HOLY SHRINES ACCORDING TO GRAND AYATOLLAH MAKAREM SHIRAZI

The Mina calamity was a tragedy which caused the deaths of thousands of Ḥajj pilgrims from many different Islamic countries, including more than 460 Iranian pilgrims.

WAYS OUT OF THE TERRORISM CRISIS FROM HIS EMINENCE’S POINT OF VIEW

The flames of war will not be restricted to Muslim countries. Today’s world has turned in to a global village, hence, it is impossible for one country to be in a deep state of insecurity and other countries remain safe and secure. An example is the terrorist attacks and crimes in Paris following which panic reigns in Europe. Of course if nothing is done immediately to uproot terrorism completely, such terrorist attacks will spread to regions other than Europe as well.

A PRACTICAL STRATEGY TOWARDS CONFRONTING THE ARROGANT SUPER-POWERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF AYATOLLAH MAKAREM SHIRAZI

We must emphasize the important, strategic fact that we have never submitted to the pressures exerted upon us by the arrogant superpowers, nor will we submit to them in the future. Through the blessings of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been transformed into an example of what is possible. Other nations, including those of Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, as well as many others have in turn rejected the pressures of the Global superpowers and they have decided to stand up to America and the Zionist Regime.

THE STRATEGIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE YEARLY ARBAEEN PROCESSIONS BY GRAND AYATOLLAH MAKAREM SHIRAZI

Indeed, the ceremonies held on Arbaʿīn are one of the noblest traditions of the religion of Islam. These ceremonies have deep roots within the religion itself and they were handed down to us from the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa) themselves.
