After that, the esteemed and distinguished guests were welcomed and gifts were presented, and after that, the essay reading phase began.
The chairman of the session, Dr. Professor Seyyed Jamaluddin, delivered an article on the spirituality of the movement of Hazrat Zayd Shahid. He said: Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) is the rightly guided Caliph and the first Imam, while the Imamate is a spiritual position, while the Caliphate is a political position, and the difference between the Imamate and politics is that in the Caliphate, they can kill anyone they want, but the Imamate does not kill anyone unjustly. Initially, leadership and leadership was in the hands of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) because they ruled over hearts, because they were always against oppression, they never supported oppression and did not support oppressors. The Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt did not disagree with the Islamic rulers on the issue of “You have violated our rights and returned the government to us.” Rather, they claimed that you are oppressors. You are irreligious. You do not follow the Sharia.
The goal of the Ahl al-Bayt has never been to seek power. Rather, the goals of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt have always been to establish a system of justice, to destroy oppression, and to establish a society free from corruption and immorality. A large number of scholars and scholars gave speeches in this program, and at the end, the representative of the Council of Religions in India, Mr. Sayyid Sadiq Hussaini, delivered a speech. He made important points and presented good material.
