Senior Cleric: Supreme Leader’s Message Clarifying Islam’s Reality for Western Youth

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s highly-important message to the European youth invites them to familiarize themselves with noble Islamic teachings and reality of this religion, a senior Iranian cleric said on Saturday.

“The Supreme Leader with his message invited them to become familiar with Islam and Islamic teachings,” member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts Ayatollah Abbas Ka’abi told FNA on Saturday.

The senior Iranian cleric pointed to the importance of Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s message, and said that the westerners are trying to prevent the growth of Islam in the West through a network of international Zionists.

“The westerners want to deprive the youth from the realities of Islam and the Supreme Leader by addressing the youth has invited them to familiarize themselves with true and genuine Islamic teachings,” Ayatollah Ka’abi said.

On Wednesday night, Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei sent a highly important message to the European youth to stress the Islam that the West is trying to portray is a forged concept and not the reality, demanding the younger generation in the West to do research to get firsthand information before accepting their states’ propaganda.

“I don’t insist that you accept my reading or any other reading of Islam…,” the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said in a part of his message, and added, “Don’t allow this dynamic and effective reality in today’s world to be introduced to you through resentments and prejudices. Don’t allow them to hypocritically introduce their own recruited terrorists as representatives of Islam.”

“… in reaction to the flood of prejudgments and disinformation campaigns, try to gain a direct and firsthand knowledge of this religion. The right logic requires that you understand the nature and essence of what they are frightening you about and want you to keep away from,” he said, and stressed, “Receive knowledge of Islam from its primary and original sources. Gain information about Islam through the Qur’an and the life of its great Prophet. I would like to ask you whether you have directly read the Qur’an of the Muslims. Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?”
