The speech of Muqtada Al-Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr on 11/8/2019

look

Screams here and there which call for strictness

And screams here and there which call for openness

The first wants from all to be (slaves) for him

And the second wants liberty from all ties to be a slave for everything

The first imagined that he is (caliph) of Allah in His earth

And the second imagined that he is out of -Allah's Ability

Yes, Allah Glory to Him said, I'm about to place My caliph in the earth but not to spread turmoil in the earth and shed blood.

But Allah said, O Dawud! We have indeed appointed you as a caliph in the earth, therefore judge between mankind with the truth, and do not follow desire for it will lead you astray from Allah's path

And that's not what I want to illustrate

The important all important, the human should not be a firewood and fuel for the fire of strictness from one side and a prisoner for the pleasure of desire and appetites from another side

Whereas it is from logic that the human dislikes the strictness but it doesn't mean to fall down in the laps of liberty

Especially if we pay attention that each side has its temptations and pleas

Whereas the plea of strict people is the religion which is measured by minds, forgetting that the religion is not a garment which we wear but it is covenant between the human and his God…Yes a covenant which was founded on forgiveness, toleration and great character

And the plea of liberal people is the material science … forgetting that the science has limits and the human has ties which he can't overlook them

Hence we should not open the door widely neither in the strictness nor in liberty

And the one who escaped from the strictness shouldn't fall in the trap of desire .. as happened with some Iraqi women who saved from Daesh to fall down in the laps of Israel

And the one who escapes from liberty and corruption shouldn't fall down in the laps of strictness as those who were oppressed from the corruptors who are liberal from the ties of Sharia and mind to fall in the laps of strictness and cheer for the tyrant (Saddam) and both of them oppress themselves and the others

Therefore we call for (moderation) in everything even with yourself beside to your dealings with the others

In addition to another important matter that is leaving the moderation means both sides are strict

Whereas the strictness isn't monopoly on the followers of religions or religious people nor Islamic people only but to become strict in the desire, appetites and thoughts is another kind of strictness which is dangerous as religious strictness

If the religious strictness is by the name God or Creator or Allah, the secular or atheistic or enlightenment strictness and the like is by the name of (humanity) and by the name of characters and feelings but even the mind which it should be according to specific instructions and limits

The freedom is not to do all your appetites and pleasures whereas some of them if do not harm your religion then they harm your health and reputation and disagree the bases of your society, and as the strictness in the religion maybe repulsive for the others so to give the freedom for your soul that inclines to appetites will be repulsive for the others

The mediation and moderation is to give for yourself her real rank , so don't exaggerate in religion and in applying it without right, also don't exaggerate in doing what your soul or mind want otherwise the others will do what they like at the expense of your rest and life

So O liberal people, if you don't want for the others to be slaves for Allah then don't be slaves for yourselves that incline to the evil

And O strict people, if you don't want for the others to be slaves for their appetites then don't apply Al-Islam or the religion according to your desires and thoughts because Al-Islam and all religions have their soul and essence which you ignore

And if the religion has ties then they are for the benefit of the human not against him so don't use them against him

And if the liberty has current pleasure so don't use it always otherwise it will destroy the soul of human and his essence

And peace be on the people of moderation

The lover of moderation Muqtada Al-Sadr
