Women to Shift from Audience to Active Participants in Fatemiyeh Programs
Hojatoleslam Adel, stressing women's central role in Fatemiyeh programs, called for their active participation in educational, cultural and social fields.
According to Mehr reporter, Hojjatul Islam Gholamreza Adel, Cultural and Social Vice President of Endowment and Charitable Affairs Organization, in a webinar with the cultural and social vice presidents of the General Endowments and Charitable Affairs Departments of the provinces, focusing on the programs of the Fatimid Days and mourning Yas Nabavi in 1405, emphasized the need to move from program-oriented and move towards cultural and social effectiveness.
Referring to the position of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) in explaining Islamic teachings, strengthening the foundation of the family and raising a faithful and responsible generation, he said: The days of Fatimah are a valuable opportunity to deepen religious knowledge, strengthen social insight, promote the culture of self-sacrifice and resistance, and expand people's participation in cultural and social activities, and this opportunity should be used to respond to the real needs of society.
The cultural and social deputy of the Organization of Endowments and Charitable Affairs, emphasizing the centrality of women in this year's programs, added: "Women should not only be the audience of Fatimid congregations; Rather, the ground for their effective presence in the fields of education, culture, narration and social service should be provided. Identifying capable women, introducing successful models and taking advantage of the capacity of mothers, educators, missionaries and social activists can help strengthen the role of the family in transferring religious values to the new generation.
Hojjat-ul-Islam wal-Muslimin Adel also emphasized the need to pay special attention to children and teenagers and said: The content of Fatemiyeh programs should be designed according to the needs and language of the audience. The use of story, poetry, art, conversation and media tools, along with traditional mourning gatherings, can provide the context for a deeper connection of the new generation with the teachings of Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
Referring to the capacity of Bekaa Motabarkeh in fulfilling the cultural and social goals of the organization, he noted: Bekaa Motabarkeh should not be just a place for holding ceremonies; Rather, they should become active centers of knowledge, education, communication with families and social service. The link between home mosques, religious bodies, the blessed place and cultural activities of the neighborhood provides the basis for the continuation of people's communication with these centers.
The Cultural and Social Deputy of the Organization of Endowments and Charitable Affairs considered people's participation and the use of the capacity of Afogh centers, honorary khudam, religious bodies, jihadi groups and charities as requirements for the successful implementation of programs and clarified: service delivery during the Fatimid days should be done based on recognizing the real needs of the people, preserving the dignity of needy families and respecting the intentions of the benefactors. Also, the endowment capacity should be taken into consideration in areas such as family consolidation, education, health and social support, in accordance with the intentions of the benefactors.
Hojjat-ul-Islam wal-Muslimin Adel emphasized the necessity of accurate evaluation of the performance of the provinces and stated: In evaluating the programs, one should not be satisfied only with the number of ceremonies, speeches and the amount of audience attendance; Rather, it is necessary to specify the purpose of each action, what output it had, and what effect it left on the target audience and society.
He asked the cultural and social vice-presidents of the provinces to use their existing capacities to provide the context for the implementation of targeted programs suited to the conditions of each region and to focus on leadership, coordination, removing obstacles and measuring the results by avoiding parallel work and creating new structures.
In the end, the Cultural and Social Vice President of the Endowment and Charitable Affairs Organization emphasized: the success of the programs of Yas Nabavi's Fatimid Days and mourning will be realized when the Fatimid knowledge goes beyond the ceremony and is manifested in strengthening the family, educating teenagers, increasing public participation and expanding social service; So that the effects of these programs continue after the end of the Fatimid era.
