Mosques should be prepared to replicate wartime conditions and provide social services in neighborhoods.

According to Ashura News, quoted by Mehr News Agency, Hojjatoleslam wal-Muslimin Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari, the head of the Friday Imams Policy Council, this morning at the gathering of Friday Imams of Tehran province, by honoring the memory of the martyrs of the recent holy defense and celebrating the bravery of the warriors and the resistance of the honorable people that led to inflicting a heavy defeat on the criminal enemy, he praised the prominent role of mosques that shined with intelligence in the field of social and security services.

According to the Friday Prayer Organization's Communications and Media Center, Hojjatoleslam wal-Muslimin Haj Ali Akbari, addressing the Friday Imams, stated: The centers of training for the Islamic society in the present era are mosques, and the cycle of training the faithful mujahid and the central core of the growth of strength is in the mosque, and it is the soil of the mosque that nurtures mujahids.

Referring to the exemplary resistance of the people of Gaza, under pressure from the evil Zionists, the interim Friday Imam of Tehran said: What has prevented the resistance in Gaza from breaking and, after two years of crimes in a densely populated area and in front of the eyes of the world, this epic has been created is the miracle of the mosque and the Quran.

He emphasized: Friday imams must define a share for themselves from the blessed cycle of spiritual and material prosperity of mosques, strengthen regional headquarters with the presence of our beloved community imams, and diligently visit mosques. The main bases of urban resistance are mosques, which, with the establishment of capable and well-thinking community imams, must enter the field of force building more actively than before.

While noting the necessity of appreciating mosques that provided social and security services that were reassuring and timely, Hojjatoleslam and Muslimin Haj Ali Akbari appreciated and thanked the active youth and teenagers of the mosques' Basij bases who were constantly and effectively engaged in protecting the security of their compatriots and cities during the days and nights of the recent sacred defense.

The head of the Friday Imams' Policy Council considered the national coordination and cohesion that has been formed over the past two weeks and in the atmosphere of the recent sacred defense to be amazing and extraordinary, and said: The people who have been attracted and have zealously entered the field of defending the security and territorial integrity of the country, and the new crowd that was observed from different spectrums and political tendencies in the Friday prayers last week, have presented a valuable opportunity to the society.

The interim Friday Imam of Tehran, stating that the Leader of the Revolution's loving embrace for attracting new faces are the Friday Imams, said: This valuable capacity that God Almighty has provided for us must be utilized in order to attract maximum attraction and guidance under the umbrella of Imamate and guardianship of the Islamic society.

In conclusion, referring to the Zionist regime's attack, he stated: "This war can continue in other and more dangerous forms. The will of the evil enemies is that they want us to feel that the situation has returned to normal. The situation must be maintained in a jihadist and combative atmosphere, and mosques must be prepared so that if a new conspiracy emerges, we will not be unaware, and in the created opportunity, mosques must be equipped as the main centers of struggle and resistance and be ready to provide the best services to the people."
