Speech by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli among children and media specialists
Until the media is an anthropologist, it will not succeed in providing human services.
Media professionals should not speak without performing ablution, should not do something else behind the scenes, and should not give advice with a polluted tongue.
Although the Islamic Radio and Television Union has a program entitled “Religion, Media and Children“, the needs of children and young people are the same as the needs of youth, middle-aged and elderly people, and the difference between the two is in the amount of need; otherwise, everyone is thirsty for teachings, and some people have less capacity and others have more capacity. This union must supply the local, regional and international Islamic sector.
The Holy Quran introduces man from the tongue of the creator of man. No school of thought introduces man like the school of revelation, and until the media are anthropologists, they will not succeed in providing human services.
The unwritten tablet
Although the child who is in the realm of your program does not benefit from worldly school sciences, God has not created him without capital, and no one is born with an unwritten tablet.
Categories of sciences
Sciences are of two types: internal and external sciences. Part of the sciences is fixed within us, which is the internal library, seminary, university and teacher of every human being. Part of the sciences is also taught in seminaries and universities, and the Holy Quran clearly distinguishes these two parts from each other.
The first principle is the assets that God gave to every human being, whether a child or not. The second principle is the sciences that a human being learns in seminaries and universities, and the third principle is that utmost effort must be made so that seminary and university sciences are guest sciences to intellectual sciences.
In seminaries, universities, media and libraries, one must strive so that the sciences that are guests do not disturb the host and do not push the host out of the scene, but rather they must coordinate with him and flourish.
Glorified be God, He raised the first principle in Surah Al-Shams and said, “And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it, And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness”; meaning that the Glorified God has not created any soul incomplete or sick. The soul is neither incomplete nor flawed, because it was created independently-formed, and the Glorified God created every soul with the inner substance of knowing wickedness and righteousness, which if He had not given it wickedness and righteousness, it would not have been independently-formed, but rather incomplete.
The second principle is in Surah An-Nahl where He said, “And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing”; the Glorified God brought you from the mother’s womb to her lap while you did not know anything of seminary and university sciences.
These seminary and university sciences must be coordinated with the sciences that are our inner substance and capital, and in this case, it is referred to as beneficial science, and if it is not coordinated with it, it is referred to as non-beneficial science. In our prayers, we ask God for beneficial science, and in our supplications, we seek refuge in God from non-beneficial science.
We must act in such a way that the statement of the Commander of the Faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) is observed; he stated, “How many a scholar is killed by his ignorance, and his knowledge is with him and does not benefit him.”
What you see today in the Middle East is the product of scholars who are killed by their ignorance and are driving a group to dust and blood.
Now that it is clear that every human being was created with a divine inner substance, our audience is a series of people who consciously listen to our propaganda, and we must convey the divine message to them in such a way that it is both consistent with their original capital and flourishes their treasures, and instills hope and anticipation in them.
Referring to this narration of the Commander of the Faithful Ali (AS) which stated that all prophets came to “bring forth for them the treasures of the intellect”, he stated: Divine prophets plow the inside of the heart, find that treasure and show it to the master of the heart that the capital belongs to you, and with appropriate waters, they flourish this treasure, and this flourished treasure becomes beneficial science.
Unfortunately, material seeds are irrigated with Takathur (rivalry in worldly increase), and spiritual seeds are fortunately irrigated with Kawthar, and this tear is a Kawthar that can flourish the inner substances.
In the Du’a Kumayl of the Commander of the Faithful Ali (AS), it is stated: “O Lord, in the battle against foreigners, the enemy of the soul, and Satan, we must be armed, and our weapon is only our tear.”
In the war with the outer enemy, we deal with iron, and in the battle with the inner enemy, we deal with sighs, and this tear of ours is our capital.
Mourning the late Ibn Babuyah al-Qumi, he narrated from the Ahl al-Bayt of Infallibility and Purity (AS) that if a child cries, do not punish him for up to a year, because the tear of the first four months of this child is testimony to the Oneness of the Truth, the weeping and moaning of his second four months is testimony to the Prophethood and Imamate of the Family of Infallibility and Purity (AS), and the tear of the third four months is also a prayer for the father and mother.
Conclusion
This child, created with this capital, understands our words, provided that the media professionals do not play around, do not speak without ablution, do not do something else behind the scenes, do not advise with a polluted tongue, do not speak with a polluted mouth, and do not look with a polluted eye, because nothing comes out of a polluted person except Takathur, and you must irrigate the child with Kawthar, not with Takathur.
