Speeches of the religious authority and its directives to the fighters (a model).

Abstract

The leading role played by the religious authority in light of the crises plaguing the country is one of the most important roles and difficult tasks that fall on its shoulders, so that it has to bear a lot of burdens in order to advance the nation from conspiracies and dangers that threaten the country and the people, especially in recent times in which gangs and takfiri groups have emerged, which falsely claim that they wanted to establish an Islamic state based on murder and shedding innocent blood and on the skulls of people, large and small, male and female, and all of that. It was only the product of those corrupt beliefs that arose from them and the erroneous ideas of infidelity of societies, and work to change them by force.

Based on the role played by the rational religious authority, it was necessary to confront such intellectual and takfiri beliefs through the fatwa of defensive jihad, to defend the nation from the dangers facing it, and therefore mobilized bodies and  hearts to confront these takfiri groups, and the Popular Mobilization in response to this fatwa to defend the threat facing them.

In the midst of this charged atmosphere and in order to guide the fighters to the etiquette and things that they must observe in wars and fighting, the religious authority issued directives to the fighters to show them these principles based on the effects of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), taking into account that these directives are the cornerstone that these fighters will win, because every matter whose basis and pillar is the words and deeds of the people of the House of Prophethood (peace be upon them) must succeed and win.

Here, the research delves into the methods of sermons and directives issued by the religious authority to the fighters as a model for religious discourse and guidance in memory of the fatwa of the Holy Defense.
