Pope Francis meets with Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani | DW News

On the second day of his trip to Iraq, Pope Francis has held talks with the country's influential Shia Muslim cleric, the Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani. The historic meeting took place at Sistani's home in the holy city of Najaf. No press were allowed inside for the talks, but a few white doves were released as the Pope entered - underscoring his message of peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in Iraq. The Christian community there has dwindled after years of war and persecution. Those that remain hope a show of solidarity from Sistani could help secure their place in Iraq.
The meeting was months in the making. Every detail, carefully planned. After a photo op, the two men spoke privately for 40 minutes. The ayatollah reportedly telling the pope he also believes Christians should be able to live in peace in Iraq and enjoy the same rights as other Iraqis.
It's a powerful statement from Sistani, who rarely makes his opinions known. When he does, Shi'ites in Iraq and around the world take note.
Later, the pope arrived in the ancient city of Ur, known as the birthplace of Abraham, the biblical patriarch revered by Christians, Muslims and Jews. A fitting place for an interfaith meeting, where Francis underscored his message.
In praying for peace in the Middle East, the pope singled out Syria, ravaged by a decade of civil war. And he condemned religious extremists, who use terrorism to achieve their aims.
The "pilgrim of peace," as Pope Francis called himself, is aware of the risks he's taking amid an ongoing pandemic and regional conflict.
But he is not traveling alone. He's protected by one of the largest security deployments in recent Iraqi history: 10,000 personnel, by some estimates, including special forces, 24-hour drone surveillance, and undercover intelligence officers.
It's the first visit by a pope to Iraq - coming just days after a rocket attack that seemed to put the trip in doubt. His first remarks in Baghdad acknowledged the difficult days most Iraqis have had to endure without a military escort.
For over two decades now, sectarian conflict has driven most of Iraq's Christians out of the country. In 2014, the so-called Islamic State began targeting Christians, driving hundreds of thousands more from their homes. The pope's visit is a symbol of victory over this tide of violence.
The Cathedral in Baghdad was the site of a 2010 terrorist attack. The Pope's visit there drew strong reactions from the community. Pope Francis also plans to visit Mosul - a recaptured stronghold of the Islamic State.
The meeting was months in the making. Every detail, carefully planned. After a photo op, the two men spoke privately for 40 minutes. The ayatollah, reportedly telling the pope he also believes Christians should be able to live in peace in Iraq, and enjoy the same rights as other Iraqis.

"A person is either your brother in faith or equal in humanity" -Imam Ali AS

[@dominancepreserved8749]

@@TheMagnificentGman this is how the Imams (peace be upon them) of the Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them) Refuted the atheists, *Imam Ali Al Riza's (a) (8th Imam) Sermon On The Unity/Oneness Of God* (extract) Then he (a) said, “The first element in the worship of the Sublime God is His recognition. The root of recognition of God is to profess to His Unity. The order for professing the Unity of God is to deny He has any attributes, since the powers of reasoning testify that every attribute and everything which possesses an attribute are created. Everything that is created testifies that it has a Creator which is neither an attribute nor does it possess any attributes. Every attribute and everything possessing an attribute testify to the association between the attribute and that to which it is attributed. Any association testifies to temporality. And temporality testifies that it accepts not the Beginningless which accepts not the temporal. So it is not God whose Essence is recognized through striking similitude. It is not His Unity that is professed by someone who attempts to fathom Him. It is not His reality (haqiqa) that is attained by someone who strikes a similitude for Him. It is not He who is confirmed (tasdiq) by him who professes an end for Him. If one points to Him, it is not God that is pointed to. It is not He who is meant by him who compares Him (to something). It one ascribes parts to God, he has not indeed humbled himself in the presence of God. And it is not God who is desired by one who conceives of God in his imagination. Everything that can be known in itself is fashioned. All that stands apart from Him is an effect. God is inferred from what He fashions, the recognition of Him is expedited by the powers of reasoning, and the argument for Him is established by (man's) primordial nature. God's creating of the creatures is a veil between Him and them. His separation (mubayana) from them is due to the fact that He is disengaged from their localization. That He is their origin is proof for them that He has no origin, for none that has an origin can originate others. That He has created them possessing means (of accomplishing things) is proof that He has no means (adapt) for means are witness to the poverty of those who use them. So His names are an expression, His acts are (a way) to make (Him) understood, and His Essence is Reality. His innermost center separates Him from Creation, and His otherness limits what is other than Him. Therefore ignorant of God is he who asks for Him to be described!Transgressing against Him is he who seeks to encompass Him!Mistaken is he who imagines to have fathomed Him! Whoever asks 'how?' has compared Him (to something). Whoever says 'why?' has professed for Him a cause. Whoever says 'when?' has determined Him in time. Whoever says 'in what?' has enclosed Him. Whoever says 'to what?' has professed for Him a limit. Whoever says 'until what?' has given Him an end. Whoever gives Him an end has associated an end with Him. Whoever associates an end with Him has divided Him. Whoever divides Him has described Him. Whoever describes Him has deviated from the straight path concerning Him. God does not change with the changes undergone by Creation, just as He does not become limited by delimiting that which is limited. He is One, not according to the explanation offered by number; Outward, not according to the explanation of being immediate (to the senses); Manifest, not through the appearance of a vision (of Him); Inward, not through separation; Apart, not through distance; Near, not through approach; Subtle, not through corporealness; Existent, not after nonexistence; Active, not through coercion; Determining, not through the activity of thought; Directing, not through movement; Desiring, not through resolution; Willing, not through directing attention; Grasping, not through touch; Hearing, not through means; and Seeing, not through organs.Times accompany Him not, places enclose Him not, slumber seizes Him not, attributes delimit Him not, and instruments are of no use to Him. His Being precedes time, His Existence precedes non-existence and His Beginninglessness precedes beginning. By His giving sense to the sense organs it is known that He has no sense organs. By His giving substance to substances it is known that He has no substance. By His causing opposition among things it is known that He has no opposite. By His causing affiliation among affairs it is known that He has no affiliate. He made darkness opposite to light, obscurity to clarity, moisture to dryness, and heat to cold. He joins together those things which are in total contradiction with one another and separates those which are near. They prove (the existence of) their Separator by their separation and their Joiner by their junction. That is (the meaning of) the Sublime (God’s) words, ‘And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.’ So through them He separated 'before' and 'after' that it might be known that He has no before and after. They testify with their temperaments that He who gave them temperaments has no temperament. They prove by their disparity that He who made them disparate has no disparity. They announce by their subjection to time that He who subjected them to time is not subject to it Himself. He veiled some of them from others, so that it might be known that there is no veil between Him and them other than them. His is the true meaning of lordship when there was none over whom He was Lord; the reality of Godhood when there was nothing for whom He was God; the true meaning of All-Knower when there was nothing to be known; the true meaning of m Creator when there was nothing created and the interpreter of hearing when there was nothing to be heard. It is not because He created that which makes Him deserve the true meaning (of the term) 'Creator' and not because He brought the creatures into being that the true meaning of 'making' is derived. How (could it not be so)? For using such words as ‘ago’ conceals Him not, 'already' brings Him not near, ‘perhaps’ veils Him not, 'when' limits Him not in time, 'at the time of' contains Him not, and 'with' associates Him not. Instruments limit only themselves and means are only effective upon other similar means. Their activities are found only in things. The word ‘ago’ keeps things from being eternal; the word 'already' shields them from beginninglessness; and the words 'if only' wards off perfection. Things become separate and thus they prove (the existence of) their Separator. They become distinguished and thus they prove their Distinguisher Through them their Maker manifests Himself to the powers of reasoning, and He becomes veiled to the sight through these powers. To these powers of reasoning imaginations appeal for a decision. And in them is substantiated (only) other than Him. From them is suspended the proof and through them He has revealed to them the acknowledgement of His Unity. Confirmation of God is made fast by the powers of reasoning, and faith in Him attains perfection through acknowledgment. There is no religiousness except after recognition, no knowledge except through sincerity and no sincerity along with striking similitude. If one ascribes attributes for God, then he has indeed drawn a similitude. So nothing in Creation is found in its Creator. All that is possible in it is impossible in its Maker. Movement and stillness do not affect Him. How should that which He affects (in others) have any effect upon Him, or that which He has originated recur for Him?Then His Essence would be disparate, His innermost center would be divided and His being Eternal would become an impossibility. How would then the Creator have a meaning different from the created? If something from behind limited Him, then something in front would limit Him. If perfection were seeking Him, imperfection would be upon Him. How should that which does not transcend temporality be worthy of (the Name) 'Beginningless'? How should that which does not transcend being produced, produce the things (of the world)?There they would have arisen in Him a sign of having been made and He would become a proof after having been the proven. There is no argument in absurd opinions; there is no answer when it (absurdity) is asked about; and there is no glorification of Him in its meaning. Nor is there any absurdity in distinguishing Him from Creation, unless it be that the Independent accepts not to be made into two, nor does the Beginningless accepts to have a beginning. There is no god but God, the All-High, and the Tremendous. They have cried lies that ascribe equals to God! They have gone astray into farreaching error and suffered a manifest loss!May God’s Blessings be upon Muhammad and his Pure Household. Uyoon Akhbaar Imam Al Riza (a) vol.1 p.142

@@HassanAli-fu7kj *Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) Refutes The Dualists* A dualist came to Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh). Among the things Imam Ja'far Al Saadiq (pbuh) said to him was: If you claim that “there are two (gods)” there can only be three possibilities. One: that both gods are eternal and all-powerful. Two: that both gods are weak. Or three: that on of them is all-powerful, and the other one is weak. Now, if both of them are powerful, then why doesn’t one of them overthrow the other, and mange all affairs single-handedly? If you believe that one of them is powerful, and the other one weak, then you have proved that He is One, and to the apparent inability of the second. And if you say that “they are two,” then only two things are possible: one, that they are both united in all aspects; or two, that they are separate in all aspects. However, when we contemplate the organization in creation, the orbits of the planets in the celestial sphere, the variation of day and night, the sun and the moon, and how everything operate in harmony, everything points that he Manager is One. Furthermore, if you claim that there are two gods, there must be a division between them both which has always existed, and that division would have to be a third god. However, if your claim that there are three gods, then there must be two divisions between them, leaving us with five gods, and so on add aeterum. Hisham (the Narrator) said: The dualist then questioned him until he asked, “What is the proof of His Existence? Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied, “The existence of great wonders is proof that they were created by the creator. When you see the imposing structure of building, you know instinctively that it was built by someone, even though you did not see him build it. He enquired, “What is He?” The Imam (pbuh) explained, He is a thing unlike other things. Consider the word “a thing” in order to understand its implication. Since He is Real, and He Exists, He is indeed a Thing. However, He is devoid of both body and image. He is neither sensed nor felt, nor is He perceived by the five senses. The imagination perceives Him not. He is not subject to time. Time has no effect upon Him. The questioner asked, “Therefore, you are saying that `Verily, He is All-Hearing, and All-Seeing?” The Imam (pbuh) responded, He is All-Hearing, and All-Seeing. He is All-Hearing without tools, and All-Seeing, without instruments. In fact, He hears by means of His entire being and He hears by His entire being. My statement does not mean that “He hears by means of His Entire Being” in the sense that He is something, and His Being is something else. I am simply using this example in order to answer your question. I say: “He hears by means of His Entire Being” and not in the sense that He has parts. Rather, I am attempting to make myself understood. My only other option would be to say that He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, and All-Informed, in His Very Essence. The questioner questioned, “Than what is He?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, He is the Lord. He is the Worshipped One, He is Allah. When I use the word “Allah,” I am not referring to the combination of the letters “A,” “L,” and “H”. Rather, I am pointing to its meaning. He is a thing that is the Creator of all Things, and their Manufacturer who is described by means of these letters. He is the one who is referred to by the names Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, the Honorable, among other names. He is the Worshipped One, the High and mighty. The questioner enquired, “So anything we can conceive of it created?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied: If things were as you claimed, then recognizing Divine Unity would be beyond our reach. We are not obliged to believe in what cannot be imagined. However, we say: everything we can conceive with our senses is perceived. Therefore, whatever the sense can discover and demonstrate is created. In order to prove the existence of the Creator of All Things, we must do so without recurring to two erroneous approaches: the first of which is negation, i.e. abolition [ibtal], and non-existence [`adam]; and the second is anthropomorphism, i.e. description, composition [tarkib], and formation [ta’lif]. We cannot prove the existence of the Creator on the basis of these two approaches as they are created, The Creator is not like the created. If He resembles the created, then whatever applies to the created would also apply to Him: such as coming into existence after non-existence, growth, change of color, change of strength, and so forth. The questioner said: “In attempting to prove His Existence, you have limited Him.” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) responded, “I have not limited Him. ON the contrary, I have demonstrated His Existence through the only means possible: assertion and negation.” The questioner said: “Is His Existence real and actual?” The Imam (pbuh) replied, “Yes, His Existence is Real as nothing can be prove without being real and actual.” The questioner asked, “Does He have a shape?” The Imam (pbuh) explained, No, because shape is description that delineates. We must move away from negation and anthropomorphism Whoever negates Him, denies Him, eliminates His Lordship, and abolished Him. Whoever compares Him with other things describes Him on the basis of created attributes which are not worthy of Him. Nevertheless, we must prove His Essence without referring to shape. None is worthy of His Essence besides Him. And no one shares His Essence, encompasses it, or knows it but Him. The questioner said: “Does He sustain all things by Himself?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, “He is far Greater than sustaining things directly as only created beings bring things forth directly. Exalted is He! His Intent and His Will are effective. He is the Mighty Doer of whatever He wills.” The questioner enquired, “Does He feel pleasure or anger?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) said: Yes. However, His Pleasure and His Anger differ from the pleasure and anger fund among created beings. Among created beings, pleasure and anger cause a change of state which is an attribute of the created, the incapable, and the needy. He (Allah) is the Blessed and Exalted, the Honorable, and the Most Merciful. He is not in need of His Creation, while all His Creation is in need of Him. Verily, He created all things by means of invention and innovation, without any need or cause. The questioner uttered, “Then what about His Word: The Most Compassionate is firm on the Empyrean.” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied, He described Himself as such in order to convey that He is the Possessor of the Empyrean, not in the sense that the Empyrean carries the Empyrean and restrains it. And we say this because His has said: His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth. Therefore, we say of the Empyrean and the Throne what He has said: and we refute the notion that the Empyrean or the Throne contains Him as He is not in need of space or anything which He has created. On the contrary, He has created them and they are in need of Him. The questioner said: “Then what is the difference between raising your hands to heaven and lowering them towards the earth?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, That makes no difference in His Knowledge, Encompassment, and Omnipotence, but He, the Mighty and High, commanded His Beloved Ones and His Servants to raise their hands to heaven towards the Empyrean because He made it a source of sustenance. This is proved from the Qur’an. It is also proved from the tradition of the RasoolAllah (pbuh) which says: “Raise your hands to Allah the Mighty and High.” And this is agreed upon between all the schools of thought in the Ummah. The questioner asked, “How can you prove that Allah sent Prophets and messengers?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) explained, Verily, we have proved that we have a Creator and a Producer who is Exalted from His Creation, and that he Producer is the Most Wise. It is impossible for His Creation to see Him or touch Him. He does not contact His Creation directly nor does His Creation contact Him directly. He does not reason with them, and they do not reason with Him. Thus, this proves that He has Representatives and Servants in His Creations who guide humanity towards what is best for them. They shall be granted eternitiy if they accept guidance. And they shall face destruction if they reject guidance. Evidently, those who promote the good and forbid the evil in His Creation must have been sent by the Most Wise, the All-Knowing. This demonstrates that He has Interpreters, and they are the Prophets, the Cream of His Creation, who are men of wisdom whom He has sent to guide and educate humankind. They are human in shape, but not in nature. They are endorsed by Allah, the Most Wise, the Omniscient, with wisdom, signs, proofs, and evidence, like giving life to the dead, healing lepers, and restoring sight to the blind. Verily, Allah’s earth is never without a Proof [hujjat] (of Allah) who brings the teachings of RasoolAllah (pbuh) and who embodies justice.

*Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) Answers The Questions of An Atheist* It is reported from Hisham In Al Hakam having said, ‘It was from the questions of the atheist who came to Abu Abdullah Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a), said, ‘What is the evidence upon the Maker of the universe?’ Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) said: ‘Existence of the deeds which point upon that a Maker has done these. Do you not see that you, when you look at a building, a built building, you know that there is a builder for it, and even if you do not see the builder and did not witness it (being built)?’ He (the atheist) said, ‘So what is He?’ He (Imam) said: ‘A thing which is different from the things. I return to my words to prove the meaning, and He is a thing in the reality of the ‘thing-ness’. He neither has a body nor an image, nor can He be felt, nor touched, nor can He be realised by the five senses. Neither can the imaginations grasp Him, nor does the age reduce Him, nor does the time change Him' The questioner said, ‘But we do not find imaginations except as creations’. Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) said: ‘If it was that, just as you are saying, the Tawheed (Oneness) would be raised (negated), because we are not encumbered without imagination. But we are saying that every imagination with the senses realised with is limited by the senses, and is a resemblance, thus it is a creation. When it was the negation, so it is the invalidation, and the nothingness (non-entity) and the modality. The second is the resemblance. When there was the resemblance, it would be a quality of the creation, the apparent, the assembled, and the composed. So, it would not happen to be inevitable from proving the Maker due to the existence of the manufactured items and the necessity to them that they are manufactured and that their Maker is other than them, and is not like them. If He was like them, Hej would have resembled them in the apparent, and the assemblage, and the composition, with regards to what flows upon them from their coming into being afterwards when they did not exist (beforehand), and their transformation from the smallness to the largeness, and blackness to whiteness, and strength to weakness, and their existing states. There is no need for us to interpret these in order to explain these and their existences’. The questioner said to him, ‘But you would have limited Himazwj when you proved His existence’. Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) said: ‘I did not limit Him. But I proved Him when there does not happen to be a stage between the negation and the proofs’. The questioner said, ‘So (what about) His Words: *The Beneficent, Established upon the Throne* [20:5]?’ Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) said: ‘By that, He Described Himself, and similar to that, He is Stretched upon the Throne, in that the One Who Created it from without the Throne happening to be bearing Him, and not that the Throne is a place for Him (to be). But, we are saying: ‘He is a Carrier of the Throne and attached to the Throne’, and we saying regarding that what He Said: *His Chair contains the skies and the earth* [2:255]. Thus, we proved from the Throne and the Chair what is proved, and we negate that the Throne and the Chair happen to be a container for Him, and that the Mighty and Majestic would happen to be needy to a place, or to a thing from what He Created. But, His creations are needy to Him’. The questioner said, ‘So what is the difference between you raising your hands to the sky (for asking for needs) and between lowering them to the ground?’ Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) said: ‘That, in His Knowledge, and His Encompassing, and His Power, He is the same, but He Mighty and Majestic Commanded His Guardians and His servants with raising their hands towards the sky, around the Throne, because He Made it a Mine of the sustenance. Thus, we prove what the Quran and the Hadeeth from Rasool-Allah (saws) have proved, where he (saws) said: ‘Raise your hands to Allah Mighty and Majestic’, and this (is something which) all of the sects of the community are united upon’ Bihar Al Anwaar - V 3, The book of Tawheed, Ch 3 H 3

That is because he wears satin and silk! Some thing Jesus never wore!

Grand Ayatollah Sistani helped protect all minorities in Iraq , no doubt about that.

Apparently Ayatollah's house is a rental. i would have thought it would be something quite nice like the Pope's.

[@annlynch6658]

The Pope also lives in a rental. You are thinking of his workplace.

[@155stw]

@@annlynch6658 that’s true. It’s good to see both these religious figures are walking the talk and not putting worldly possessions as a priority.

[@doctord7171]

Yes it's rental and only 70 meters square

Humbleness is a key to leadership and Role models. Humbleness is a way Allah loves. The prophet lives humble even during his rule. It's a hard trait to have when you can live the luxury lifestyle

[@fahralyacoub8970]

Sayed Sistani is really humble, living in the creeks close to the grave of the holy imam AS. He is a leader that doesn't care about himself, like some people make him out to be, he is a leader who does everything he does for god and for the people

Hannah Arendt comes to mind. When accused of betrayal of her BIRTH religion she replied ..at first I am HUMAN! One race one world, our best way forward. And thanks to Pope Francis, surely the most human/earth centered Pontiff ever.
