The guilt of the Ahwazi murderer is not only on his own shoulders / There is no such zeal in Islam!
Family group: The tragic incident in Ahvaz and the murder of a 17-year-old mother in Ahvaz in the last two days have disturbed the minds of many Iranian girls and mothers, as well as the production of Persian content by various media outlets denouncing “religious zeal” and ” “Islamophobia” and “anti-Islamism” are facing. The media have taken the fish from this muddy water, saying that this heinous murder was committed out of religious and Islamic zeal, and that this violence stems from Islam. As if religion had authorized such a catastrophe! This kind of photo shows religion and religious zeal, which these days is a good opportunity for anti-religious people to vent their obnoxious contents on sensitive days.
On this pretext, we talked to Hojjatoleslam “Ali Sarlak”, a cultural activist, a lecturer at the seminary and the university, a member of the faculty of the University of Arts, and a consultant.
Whenever such incidents occur and the issue of honor killings is raised, the terms “zeal” and “religious zeal” are discussed. What does the word zeal mean and what does it mean?
The basis of religious zeal is to preserve the unity of the family. It is for men and women to come together for commitment, purity, fidelity, forgiveness and forgiveness, and to be able to form a foundation that, according to our narrations, is the most popular foundation. Jealousy means denial other than family privacy with an emphasis on love and forgiveness.
In our narrations there are two thirds of life with negligence. Neglect means to hear from this ear, as the famous saying goes, to listen from that ear! It means intentional ignoring. How much more so that sometimes someone wants to decide based on suspicion and suspicion, which is forbidden according to the Qur’an. Avoid a lot of suspicion. The Qur’an says to abstain from suspicion. Religion is basically defined by good faith. Especially in the family environment.
The late Imam (ra) issued a fatwa in Tahrir al-Wasila that if a woman makes a mistake and apologizes, it is obligatory on a man to accept and ignore it. Here error is in the broadest sense of the word, meaning any error. Basically, the living space is defined by the Qur’an based on time and mercy. In all religions, human beings can abuse their own religion with an intellectual rigidity, with a kind of newsmanship, as the ancients said, and execute the best rulings in the worst possible way. In the Qur’an, he says that the Qur’an itself is for mercy. And the revelation of the Qur’an is our healing and mercy.
The same Qur’an, which is healing and mercy, causes harm and misery for the oppressors and those who establish a wrong relationship with the Qur’an. And the oppressors will not be harmed. So our religion has a clear view of the family, marriage, and the educational opportunity that exists in the family environment for human development. Wrong behaviors in the name of prejudice, non-violence, etc. These are definitely the origin of the devil. It is stated in the Qur’an that Satan intended to create enmity and hatred between you, and he started this enmity and hatred from the family, and that is why he is the most lawful person in the discussion of the separation of husband and wife, which is called divorce. That is, the most lawful hatred is the work of a couple who want to end their marriage and want to distance themselves from each other and want to end their marriage.
However, our principles, courts, and certainties about the family, family unity, and family preservation are clear. Some of the ignorant behaviors and evil behaviors should not be considered as religious teachings at all. Because the manners of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are clear, the lifestyle of our scholars and elders in family management is clear, and the believers are understanding and their way of life is clear. These principles and courts should not be misunderstood by some ignorant behaviors, God forbid. And now that there is a discussion of anti-Islamism and Islamophobia in the world in the world of Zionism, and they know the basis of the story, how to show inversions, how to show false or false relations, and thus attribute wrong behaviors to religion and Islam. Accuracy in this matter can be detrimental.
However, bitter, fragile and indigestible events can be so devastating to the psychological, emotional, even doctrinal and faith dimensions that one should seek refuge in God and seek help from the Imam of the Age (pbuh) and seek refuge in him before the hearts that Lack of clear beliefs shakes and hesitates, turn these hearts. Of course, this does not mean that the relevant institutions and cultural officials should not perform their duties correctly and accurately.
For some, the question is, in the beginning of Islam and the time of the presence of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), are there any narrations that mention similar stories? How did the Ahl al-Bayt react in these situations?
What I remember now is that the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) even appealed to those who came and confessed their forbidden acts, and they were told that you were wrong. For example, this forbidden act of an illegitimate relationship! The other side would come and confess, the Imam would say that he must not have dreamed, he must not have been conscious, and … or even in some narrations that the Prophet (PBUH) was sitting and someone came and reported that in a certain house, a certain non-mahram man and woman were present. And pointed out that they may be engaged in sin.
The Prophet sent the Commander of the Faithful to investigate. It is narrated that when the Amir al-mu’minin approached the house, they raised their voices and closed their eyes and put their hands on the wall and said, “Is there anyone in this house?” And they delayed so long that everyone in the house left. After a few minutes, the Amir al-mu’minin delayed and raised their voices, saying that if anyone noticed, they entered, and of course, everyone in the house was gone. Then they returned and told the Prophet, “I did not see anyone.”
The summary of this neglect and this ignoring is a continuous tradition. Basically, in the case of illegitimate relationships, it is almost impossible to prove the verdict! That four just witnesses witness such things. This sentence seems more for prevention. The heavy sentence of enforcing the hadd seems to be more for prevention.
That is, it is for their ugliness to become intense for them, and in overcoming intense sexual desires and attractions, they should know that such a sentence also exists.
But it is really impossible to prove it in this period and time when everything is obvious and there is a camera everywhere and the phone is in everyone’s hands; How about four just witnesses come and testify. Can a righteous person stand there and do nothing and forbid denial? Basically, what has been said about these issues is more about prevention and burdening the psychological cost so that no one commits such an act.
Some people think that they would be indifferent if, God forbid, they noticed the illegal relationship by their spouse and did not show such a reaction. Especially when, God forbid, some people around know about it. They generally endure a social pressure that is waiting for their reaction at any moment, and if they do not react, it is as if they are complicit in that crime. What do you think about this?
In my clients in the counseling office, I had people who had this incident. The greatest advice is for the person to repent first, and for us to help him return to society. We have no other duty at all. Yes, if at one time we were judges and proved to be just judges with four witnesses, then we should rule according to the circumstances.
The person in this position should, with the advice, with the help of those who specialize in this work, should prepare the ground for his wife to return to his family and make his own efforts. And, of course, there are a few people who, despite numerous counseling sessions, are no longer psychologically able to continue living together. Well, here it may be that they are very respectfully, very secretively and without disgrace. But 90% of cases are possible to return. I myself was a counselor who came back and their lives were fixed after a while. But I want to say that if someone has this problem, they should go to counseling. Women in particular, who are very emotional and very sensitive to the issue, should definitely seek help from a counselor. By giving time and patience and sometimes strengthening some skills, etc., there is definitely a cure. But even if it is not treated, there is no way open to disgrace and desecration of the public and these issues.
We have to say that those who are on the verge of this are actually approaching insane behaviors. It is like cutting off a woman’s head in Ahvaz or setting a house on fire with a lady! These are not balanced behaviors at all. Cases like this may be able to resolve the issue internally with counseling and these, and perhaps the solution is to migrate from that area and environment. There is no problem.
But the insane behaviors that may be formed as a result of the culmination of individual, ethnic, environmental, and public anger and resentment. Those who cause such insane behaviors are complicit in such crimes. Sometimes the couple themselves have come to terms with these issues, but because others have noticed and do not give up their sarcasm and heavy looks and bitter and cold attitudes, sometimes they cause the other side to lose his balance and resort to violence. Therefore, those who provide the psychological grounds for such actions are also accomplices to the crime. The Qur’an says that we write both works and works. That is, a person who is suspicious of his wife, even though he has a knife in his hand, but the arms of many people have been active behind this knife, forcing this person to do this insane thing.
What do you know about the duty of governance? It is now reported that the victim’s family has consented. If they consent, he will only be sentenced to imprisonment!
First, the most important task of the government is to prevent crime. First and foremost, according to the constitution, it is the duty of the judiciary to prevent crime. Of course, this is an inter-agency task of managing the judiciary, which is responsible for everything from the economic to the cultural sectors. The principle is culture-building and society moves forward with culture-building, not with the law! However, if such a thing happens, the government must act in accordance with the law. For example, in this particular case, we may say that we have a legal vacuum, but this is in the area of judicial jurisdiction and goes back to criminal matters.
I believe that even if the law is fully and correctly enforced, it will not be able to correct the culture. In this case, we have an unwritten law called anger and nervousness and zeal that kill women so cruelly and unreasonably. Neither their official laws nor their tribes can be changed or prevented at all. We need culture.
Some believe that the legal vacuum is large and that the addition of fines and punishment may prevent this crime. As traffic fines are added every year.
But traffic fines will not decrease. Unless it is cultured through animation and on television and in the media. I know the role of culture much more. Of course, the law is necessary and must be strictly enforced. Somewhere retribution is needed, somewhere financial fines. But these are not enough. This is a link in a chain. If this chain is not active, law enforcement alone will not work. The law is enforced, but the crime is even greater. The essence of the story is culture building. Culture is oxygen, the atmosphere is life. If the culture is right, the law will be in place.
