The Colombian researcher, who has a background in academic circles in Qom, analyzed the link between the Razavi school of thought and the governance model of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the sidelines of the Imam Reza International Congress in Mashhad.
Abdul Hakim stated, “All political, spiritual, and behavioral approaches of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution are rooted in the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), particularly those of Imam Reza (AS).”
Referring to the impact of the martyred Leader’s martyrdom on non-Muslim societies, particularly in Latin America, Abdul Hakim said, “Contrary to common perceptions, his martyrdom resonated beyond the Islamic world. Many Christians in Latin America and Europe knew him not only as a political figure, but also as a spiritual and compassionate figure and a supporter of the oppressed around the world.”
He added, “This empathy was so profound that even among followers of other religions, it generated deep respect and emotion toward the righteousness and innocence of this divine leader. This demonstrates that his message of seeking justice has transcended religious boundaries.”
Abdul Hakim noted, “Pilgrimage to Imam Reza (AS) has long been a cherished wish and represents a deep connection for us. We believe that Hazrat Reza (AS) pays special attention to all lovers and seekers of truth around the world.”
The Colombian researcher, who became acquainted with Islam in his youth and later converted to the Shia school of thought, also referred to the spirit of anti-imperialism in Latin American countries, saying, “Although Muslims constitute a minority in Latin America, the people of the region act in line with the Resistance Front because of their truth-seeking spirit.”
