The holy month of Ramadan formed an occasion for the Friday sermons to urge fasting in this month and the interest in matters of Muslims, also the recent events in Syria and the instigation of some Lebanese parties and the smuggling of weapons to Syria formed a central title.
The deputy head of the Shiite Supreme Council Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan assured the need to entrench those who fast their relationship with the month of Ramadan and to " spend his days and nights in prayer, reading the Koran, reaching the wombs and extending the hand of help to the needy people, especially the orphans.
He called
on Muslims to feel the pain of the hungry and the sick in Somalia, who suffered a large catastrophe " that its not allowed to be carless towards it, so we call on all states and the Arab and Islamic countries in particular to take the initiative to rescue the Somali people and to provide support and not leave Somalia a prey to hunger, poverty and disease, goods of the Muslim world should be enjoyed by all peoples of poor and disaster-stricken.
The cleric also called the Syrian people to " unify around the state that guarantees to save the homeland Syria, the Syrian people should respond to the reforms approved by the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Syrians must stand against all abroad calls for incitement and sedition at home, Syrians are brothers and they must remain united and work in solidarity and sincerely for the benefit of their home and learn from the experiences of others to confront the elements of strife and terrorist groups which want to destroy Syria and enter it in the circle of destructive chaos in the interest of colonial aims of Israel ".
Sayed Ali Fadlullah, the son of Lebanon's late Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah said that "in this holy month we are concerned to bring all of our efforts and energies in order to alleviate needy people and solve their problems, both in society in which we live, or at the level of the community at large, and all by his ability and potential.
He called to be organized in associations and committees to carry out this responsibility : " There is no excuse for us before God, who dont care about Muslims is not a Muslim."
In his turn, Sheikh Afif Nabulsi considered that " Some parts was seeking to inflame sectarian passions in the situation of what is happening in Syria and wants to inflame the Lebanese arena to be a pressure field added to all the Arab and international campaigns against Syria.
He believed that the sliding of some parties to be anti-Syria and making Lebanon a battlefield against Syria will push things into a mess that only reflects wrong approaches that Lebanon suffered a lot from its disastrous consequences.
For his part imam of the mosque of Quds, Sheikh Maher Hammoud said " that when sectarian bigotry push to deny any credit of Syria in supporting the resistance and the Gaza specifically in the victory resounding in 2009, and when you deny that this resistance has completed a major achievement for a nation only because of the doctrine of resistance is different from their beliefs, when the positions are at this level it is natural to say that their position on the events in Syria comes from that bad background and distorting the facts.
He assured that " We support the reforms and we condamn killing, the killing of civilians and the killing of military, we are against the killing at all, but they believe the satellite channels that inflate matters for the benefit of Western-known and clear sides.
