Small Pharaoh! | Ali Reza Panahian

Small Pharaoh!

Do you know why Imam Husayn (‘a) was martyred?! What do you think of when people talk about social ethics?! Does it mean that I should forgive a person who behaved badly?! If a person was good to me, I should treat him well and thank him?! Is that it?! You think that is why 124,000 prophets had to come and be killed?! You wouldn’t have understood the meaning of these things without religion, God, and prophets?! These are important but not in a “free, social relationship”! They’re important in a “social, organizational relationship”!
You are too clever! You don’t work with anyone in an organization! You keep your friendship and smile for everyone! If you are able to, go and work in an organization! If a problem arose in your relationship, don’t ruin the organization! Pass on it in favour of your friend! Don’t then go and open a new branch! So, they will soon come to disagreements. Then, we have to start social ethics from now.
In an organization! “Which organization are you a member of?” “We don’t work in an organization! We work alone.” Nice! A selfish person! A small Pharaoh! Don’t lie! You are being deceitful when you say you have good social ethics! Unless, you work in an organization and maintain good social ethics.
“Haj Aqa (sir), do you mean in an office or an establishment?” “No my friend! A manger is responsible for everything there! You won’t feel responsible! You will say, ‘Mr Manager, what should I do? Tell me so that I can do it perfectly. I don’t care about the rest!’” What does it mean when I say working in an organization for a religious meeting? Everyone feels responsible! Everyone is taking part! Everyone gives an opinion. Everyone cares.
Why don’t you work in a place where your friend keeps bothering you, and you keep smiling?! He keeps bothering, and you keep smiling! He keeps ruining your work, and you keep smiling so that you grow! “No! A person will die like that! It is better to be free! Ethics will be adhered to better!” If someday, you wanted to grow and be useful for the Imam of your Time (‘aj), test your social relationships in an organization. “No, we will wait alone to see what the Imam (‘aj) says and obey him!” It’s useless! Do you understand?! Leadership (Wilayat) does not want people who obey individually! It’s useless! Do you understand?! He wants big organizations that obey him! A person shouldn’t go to the Imam (‘a) alone!
The Quran says, “O Believers, have patience, help each other with patience, establish good relations with one another.” What does “patience” mean? It means each one of you should be patient. What does “help each other with patience,” mean? It means be patient together! Being patient together needs an organization. What does “establish good relations with one another,” mean? It means put your strengths together and obey the one with Wilayat (guardianship) together!
Do you know why Imam Husayn (‘a) was martyred? Because his friends didn’t know how to work as an organization!
