Beirut – Saba:
The Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, affirmed on Monday that the secret behind the resistance's steadfastness against the Israeli enemy lies in an educational approach rooted in Islamic values and emulating Imam Hussein. He stressed that this approach has created exceptional men and martyrs who faced the enemy's forces with unwavering determination.
During the central Ashura council at the Sayyid al-Shuhada complex, Sheikh Qassim stated, 'We learned from Imam Hussein to say: 'Humiliation is far from us, and we will never accept tyrants controlling the fate of our people.'' He added, 'Israel is criminal, America is tyrannical, and we have the right to tell them: No.'
He called for refraining from aiding the enemy in its projects, saying, 'Those who lead the country into the unknown are the ones who support America and Israel. As for us, we advocate for national understanding and prioritizing the national interest in relations with our brothers, working together to achieve a dignified and great future for our people.'
He continued, 'Despite the imbalance in capabilities, the secret of our strength is faith. Through it, we will remain loyal, steadfast, and with our heads held high.'
The Hezbollah chief described occupation as temporary, while liberation is permanent and ongoing, God willing. He emphasized, 'Our attachment to the land stems from the belief that it is our natural and historical right.'
He stated, 'Had we not possessed this profound level of faith, we would not have been able to liberate our land from occupation and safeguard it for over forty years.'
Sheikh Qassem affirmed that 'the resistance's approach is divine and balanced, addressing the needs of both body and soul while preparing individuals for the afterlife. The secret of strength lies not only in material capabilities but in unshakable faith that cannot be undermined.'
He stressed the responsibility of scholars, preachers, and educators in fostering a sound educational environment for the rising generation, instilling correct principles in their hearts. 'This model of jihadist martyrdom is the result of conscious Husseini and Quranic upbringing,' he explained.
He pointed out that 'the youth who abandoned worldly pursuits and joined the battlefields as mobilization forces reached this high level of sacrifice due to faith-based upbringing.'
He added, 'We are in a defensive position. This is our land and the future of our generations. We have the right to defend it, and no one can tell us not to.'
Sheikh Qassem also highlighted the role of women—mothers, wives, and daughters—in the resistance's journey, affirming their 'longstanding contribution to jihad and supporting the resistance, emulating Lady Zainab in patience, stance, and sacrifice.'
