The distinguished Jaafari Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qablan delivered a speech during the Ashura Council organized by the Amal Movement in Miwaad, stating: "Today, Imam Hussein embodies human conscience, a national cause, a project for justice, a guarantee for the people, a relief for the oppressed, the deprived, and the tortured, an option for political justice, and a sword against crime, corruption, hypocrisy, oppression, trafficking, and monopolization. In the social context, Imam Hussein stands against ignorance, injustice, unemployment, corruption, commercial hypocrisy, price manipulation, nepotism, bribery, extortion, chaos, criminal gangs, and the mafia of politics, money, and public life. Imam Hussein opposes the tendencies of mediocre individuals and social tyranny, stands against sectarianism and with God's community, against corrupt media and black funding, against the exploited classes, against the domination of money over authority, against media that thrives on mercenary activities, against governments that do not build the glory of their people through educational and industrial facilities, against leaving the country without social, educational, and commercial guarantees, against chaos and primal instincts, and against inciting divisions and fragmentation, against electronic gambling and drugs, against sexual extortion, the objectification of women, brothels, instinctive hunting, perversion, and uncontrolled social platforms, against the destruction of the family and the negation of parental authority, against the tyranny of corrupt elites and the execution of moral conscience in the name of freedom, against negligence, especially governmental neglect, and leaving the country without security, order, and rescue projects on the ground, because the slogan must be implemented, not just promoted through media."
He added: "In this regard, Imam Hussein desires revolutionaries of knowledge, awareness, shared living, cooperation, solidarity, and citizens of fields and fronts for national sovereignty. He seeks a conscience for the homeland, human rights, and citizenship above sectarianism; he demands alignment with the truth and not neutrality from it; he wants to solidify the conscience of God within the conscience of man."
He continued: "Hussein is a scale of policies commensurate with human hopes, a standard of integrity and fronts that crush the power of tyrants, from the southern front up to Bab al-Mandab. The same front that repelled Israel from the south also led the uprising of February 6 and crushed the Zionist project in Lebanon; it is the same front that fights today on the southern front, burning away Israel's grandeur before the eyes of the world. This embodies shared living, sovereign resistance, national choice, compassion, kindness, and national intimacy."
He stated: "Therefore, we said and we say: A presidential settlement that befits the partnership of this country must be established. We do not appreciate the game of stakes or the gamble of numbers; we do not accept leaving the destiny of the country in ignorance. Complaining serves no purpose; only a presidential settlement in Parliament is beneficial. President Nabih Berri represents a national opportunity that must be taken advantage of. All honor and pride belong to the resistance and the resisting duo that transformed Israel from a war state to a power that lives on confrontational sounds. We are not involved in mercenary dealings or manipulating the country; we will not grant Israel the title of champion, and we will not return from our fronts except with dignity, honor, and victory, God willing."
He concluded: "To Washington and Tel Aviv, I say: The time for violating regional interests in the area is coming to an end, and the new regional system is becoming visible. With Tehran and the resistance axis at the center, the world will be assured that the downfall of Israel is merely a matter of time."
