بمناسبة حلول شهر الصيام والتقوى

 شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدىً للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان - صدق الله العلي العظيم

(القرآن الكريم - سورة البقرة - الأية 185)

الا وقد أقبل عليكم شهر الله. صدق رسول الله (ص)

رمضان بين الإيمان والدجل
  على الرغم من أن الانسان مخلوق حر وواع، إلا ان هناك بعض القواسم المشتركة التي تجمع بينه وبين الكائن الحيواني. لاشك في ذلك.
 و مع هذا، فهناك أيضا فوارق كيبرة جدا بين الاثنين من أبرزها الارادة تجاه الغرائز. ففي الوقت الذي نرى فيه الكائن الحيواني ينصاع بشكل لإإرادي نحو شتى انواع الغرائز، فاننا نرى الانسان - و لاسيما المتحضر - يرفض ذلك تماما، و يدعو الى التحرر من سطوة الغريزة والى السيطرة الواعية عليها.
 لهذا نرى أن كمال الانسان و سموه الروحي يتحققان بشكل جلي عندما يستطيع السيطرة على نزعاته ، و عندما يتمكن من الانتصار عليها، حتى في أبسط ممارساته اليومية المتمثلة في الأكل والشرب وما شابه.
 ومن هذه الزاوية يتضح أن الانسان الواعي والحر وحده من دون سائر المخلوقات هو القادر على احتواء الغريزة والسيطرة عليها، و تنظيم استيعاب آثارها بشكل يتسامى فيه عن اللذات العابرة . لان هذا التنظيم هو البديل الحضاري للفوضى السائدة في المجتمعات البدائية، و هو الذي يعزز حوافز الانسان ويصقل مواهبه بشكل ينسجم مع تعاليم الخلق وسموه، وهو ما يطلق عليه في القرآن الكريم.

 في ضوء هذه الرؤية يمكن ادراك الغاية الحقيقية من الصيام ، و تأثيره في الإنسان . ذلك لان الصيام - طوال شهر كامل - عن قناعة و ايمان يعزز لدى الصائم القدرة على التصدي لسائر الميول الغريزية و يعطيه دفعا قوبا للقيام بواجباته الاجتماعية والثورية بشكل افضل وعلى حد سواء.
 على النقيض من ذلك ، لابد من الادراك ان عملية الصيام ان لم تأت في سياق هذا المنظور التوحيدي والايماني فانها لا تكون اكثر من عملية شكلية جوفاء، عملية رجعية تتمثل فقط في الامتناع عن الطعام ولا علاقة لها بالايمان من قريب او بعيد. وقد اكد على ذلك قول الامام علي (ع ): «كم من صائم ليس له من صيامه الا الجوع و الظمأ، و كم من قائم ليس له من قيامه الا السهر و العناء. حبذا نوم الاكياس وافطارهم».http://bit.ly/2rZaCBy

Iran’s Ballot Boxes Do Not Represent The Voice Of Its People

Today Hassan Rouhani was announced as the winner of Iran’s presidential election. Of course, these ballot boxes do not represent the voice of the Iranian people but portray the result of a failed engineering campaign and a final decision made by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This is also a show of his utter fear of a nationwide uprising against the mullahs’ apparatus.

Considering his regime’s dire domestic, regional and international circumstances, Khamenei desperately needed to unify his apparatus to confront the numerous crises and maintain his regime’s balance. This “election” result, however, canvases a major defeat for Khamenei and signals considerable weakness on his part and that of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Rest assured this trend will lead to the regime’s eventual crumbling.

As the election façade transformed into a major power struggle amongst the Iranian regime’s ruling factions, Maryam Rajavi, President of the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), described the mullahs’ apparatus as fragmented and suffering from major setbacks.

“Rouhani’s second term would only entail growing crisis and a more intense power struggle. Crisis has precipitated at the leadership level of the religious fascism and would continue until the downfall of the regime of the velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of clergy)… Khamenei’s failure to manipulate the election result to bring Raisi out of the ballot box and make the regime monolithic is a heavy blow for him and a sign of the regime’s approaching demise,” she said.

Iran: Rouhani’s 2nd Term Intensifies Mullahs’ Crisis

Iran has held presidential elections, but the elections were not free nor fair.  The election exposes how tenuous the mullahs’ grasp on power seems to be.

The results of Iran’s presidential elections, declared on Friday, in no way represent the will of its people. Hassan Rouhani’s supposed victory only underlines the failure of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, in engineering the sham elections in the way he preferred. In fear of a nationwide uproar targeting the regime in its entirety, not only by the bussed supporters of any side, but more dangerously by an oppressed nation hunting for a rift within the regime’s senior ranks to storm the ruling theocracy, Khamenei was left with no choice other than giving up on Ebrahim Raisi, his desired candidate, and granting a second term to Rouhani.

Khamenei perceived the elections as an opportunity to unify his ranks in order to deal with the many crises he’s facing at the domestic and international level. The conditions, however, did not allow the ailing Supreme Leader and the Iran Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), his main implement, to engineer the process in the way he would have desired. It can only be expected that the deepening crises resulting from the elections will prod the regime closer to its downfall.

Rouhani's 2nd Term Deepens Rift Within the Regime, Intensifies Mullahs' Crisis and Power Struggle

• Khamenei’s heavy defeat in manipulating election is an indication of an end to the regime
• Crisis at the top of the religious fascism will continue until its downfall
• Rouhani neither wants, nor is able to alter regime’s foundations and behavior; massive economic and social destruction, crackdown and repression will persist

NCRI - Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, described the mullahs’ regime at the end of its sham presidential election, as a divided regime that has been gravely weakened by its internal power struggle. She added: Rouhani’s second term would only entail growing crisis and a more intense power struggle. Crisis has precipitated at the leadership level of the religious fascism and would continue until the downfall of the regime of the velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of clergy). The heightening power struggle is a reflection of the regime’s strategic failure in resolving the most pressing social problems and growing discontent.

Mrs. Rajavi said: In the current critical domestic, regional and international circumstances, for Khamenei it is crucial to make the medieval regime monolithic in order to face the crises and maintain the regime’s balance. Therefore, Khamenei’s failure to manipulate the election result to bring Raisi out of the ballot box and make the regime monolithic is a heavy blow for him and a sign of the regime’s approaching demise. The election campaign this time attracted greater public attention to the 1988 massacre of political prisoners right from the beginning. Public outrage against Raisi over his role in the massacre and the regime’s fear of the campaign which seeks justice for the victims reached an extent that many clerics and even powerful figures within Khamenei’s faction were not prepared to support Raisi.http://bit.ly/2q3Vr9A
