Hawzah News Agency<\/a>– Speaking during a Ramadan Qur\u2019an recitation ceremony at the\u00a0Jamkaran Mosque<\/strong>, Hojatoleslam Farahzad emphasized that true companionship with the Qur\u2019an goes beyond mere vocal recitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cRamadan is the month of intimacy with the Qur\u2019an,\u201d he said. \u201cBut this intimacy must not remain at the level of words. The concepts, ethics, and divine guidance of the Qur\u2019an must flow into our behavior, decisions, and social conduct. Acting upon even a single verse can lead a person toward salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sudden Grief and Spiritual Influence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cleric pointed to the spiritual dimensions of human emotions, noting that unprovoked waves of anxiety, despair, or negative thoughts may signal harmful spiritual influences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen sudden sorrow and baseless anxiety overwhelm the heart, it is a sign of satanic proximity,\u201d he said. \u201cIn contrast, tranquility, hope, and clarity are signs of divine attention and the nearness of angels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing a narration from Imam\u00a0Jafar al-Sadiq (PBUH)<\/strong>, he recounted a tradition in which a man asked the Imam why he sometimes experienced unexplained sadness and, at other times, unexpected joy and serenity. According to the narration, the Imam explained that sorrow and disturbing thoughts stem from satanic influence, whereas calmness and hope reflect angelic presence.<\/p>\n

Farahzad stressed that Satan operates by magnifying hardships and instilling fear of poverty and failure, thereby pushing individuals toward sin and moral deviation. \u201cGod, on the other hand, promises forgiveness, abundance, and relief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Spiritual Remedies Against Temptation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cleric also highlighted practical spiritual tools to counter negative thoughts and temptations. He recommended consistent recitation of the four Qur\u2019anic chapters that begin with the word \u201cQul\u201d (Say), particularly\u00a0Al-Falaq<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0An-Nas<\/strong>, describing them as powerful protections against satanic whispers.<\/p>\n

He further described the remembrance phrase \u201cLa ilaha illa Allah\u201d (There is no god but Allah) as one of the most effective invocations for cleansing the heart of anxiety and negativity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a person truly believes that the only real source of influence and power is God Almighty, and that nothing operates outside His will, many fears and worries lose their grip,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ramadan: From Recitation to Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hojatoleslam Farahzad characterized Ramadan as a month of spiritual restructuring and moral refinement. He warned that the world is filled with subtle traps designed to distract human beings from their divine purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only path to safety,\u201d he stated, \u201cis seeking refuge in God and holding fast to the teachings of the Prophet\u2019s Household.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reiterated that Satan seeks to intimidate people through fear of poverty and uncertainty about the future, driving them toward wrongdoing. In contrast, God\u2019s promise is one of mercy, forgiveness, and divine grace.<\/p>\n

Concluding his remarks, the cleric called on believers to transform Ramadan into a turning point in their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Qur\u2019an was revealed not merely to be recited melodiously,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was revealed to be lived. Even sincere adherence to a single divine command can illuminate the path to prosperity in this world and salvation in the Hereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n
