The respected grand jurist went on to speak about the significance and role of our esteemed scholars in actively being a part of the society around them and challenging the systems which oppress it. He explained: “The scholars of religion need to be present among society to oppose invalid movements. This is because Islam is against secluding and isolating [oneself]…

His eminence concluded by highlighting the responsibility of scholars in this day and age against the oppression they see around them specifically referencing Bahrain as an example. He said: “The scholars of religion should take into consideration their responsibility and position and realize they cannot remain neutral in front of the conspiracies of the arrogant powers… The arrogant powers side with the Bahraini regime and hence are a part of the killing of the Shia. They have drawn up a plan to destroy the Muslims and it is our duty to stand up against these atrocities.”
