Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: ISLAM AND SUPERSTITION

ISLAM AND SUPERSTITION

The propagation of superstition can only rise from and is promoted by small and petrified minds, and the rich culture of Islam has no need of it. But, of course, there are always those who would plan such deeds and follow it based on a preplanned and aim orientated objective. We, too, must promote the right Shiite and Islamic trends of thought and as far as possible frustrate their plans. But, of course, this is not a job without its harassments since struggling against superstition means a struggle against backward thinking and blind ignorance.

Islam is disgusted with such imperceptibility and groups such as the Khavarej (ignorant seceders). we must acknowledge this religion as a religion of freedom, and not a religion of slavery which counts the people as children in need of guardianship because, based on the noble Koran and what we read in the Ayat al-Korsi, people only need one guardian and that is God. So, we have to tell the people that in the order of Islam, the only law is the law of God that rules.

If, at any time, science and free thinking is withheld from the people and they cannot or are not allowed to follow the true Islam and make use of true Islamic teachings, it is only natural that instead of tending towards rationality, science, and religion, the people will be inclined to go towards superstition, and, in fact, move against reason and religion, and this is something which has existed all through the history of Islam.
