Hafiz Riaz Najafi Quran Statement: Muslims Would Rule the World If They Followed the Quran

If Muslims Had Acted on the Quran, They Would Be Ruling the World Today: Ayatollah Hafiz Riaz Najafi

Shiite News: President of Wifaq ul Madaris al-Shia Pakistan and distinguished religious scholar Ayatollah Hafiz Syed Riaz Hussain Najafi has said that the Holy Quran was revealed to take humans to the heights of elevation and perfection. If Muslims today truly acted upon Quranic teachings, they would undoubtedly be the superpower of the world and would be ruling the entire world. He said this while delivering the Friday sermon at Jamia Ali Mosque, Hawza Ilmiyya Jamia al-Muntazar Model Town.

Hafiz Riaz Najafi clarified that the Holy Quran is a complete cure for both the spiritual and physical diseases of humans, and in it exists a definite solution to every problem. Referring to the saying of the fourth crown of Imamat, Hazrat Imam Zain al-Abidin (AS), he said that when a person is alone and has no companion or helper, then the Word of Allah Almighty proves to be his best sympathizer. Making a comparison, he said that not everyone had access to the Torah, and the Bible contained only sermons and advice, but the Quran is the only book that has come for the comprehensive guidance of humans and to take them to the pinnacle.

Speaking about human worth and social attitudes, he said that human perfection is hidden in good conduct and being beneficial to others. The more beneficial a person is to people, the greater his value. He emphasized that when a needy person comes to you, every effort should be made to fulfill his need; giving a little is better than giving nothing at all, because a person’s value is measured by his favors.

Pointing out the growing diseases in society, Ayatollah Hafiz Riaz Najafi said that nowadays the primary cause of diseases is our deficient and Westernized diet, which has reduced the average human lifespan by 20 to 25 years. He expressed regret that we have subjected our lives to our own desires instead of the Quran. If Muslims align their diet and lifestyle with the Holy Quran and the commands of the Ahlul Bayt (AS), they can always remain healthy and strong.
