Sheikh Ja’far Ladak, the head of The Baab Ul Ilm Centre in the British city of Leeds referred to the peace in Imam Reza shrine as matchless, saying: “The British Muslims are fervent lovers of Imam Reza and can easily go to visit the shrine (in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad)”.

Talking about the Fifth International Imam Reza Congress, Hoj Ladak praised such an event, which saw the participation of thinkers from some 35 countries, and noted: “These events can introduce the teachings of Imam Reza to other faiths and sects”.

He added that Imam Reza’s teachings could be promoted in a non-Islamic country like the UK, stating: “Contemporary humans need Imam Reza style justice”.

The Islamic researcher further invoked a hadith from Imam Reza, stressing: “There will be not security anywhere in the world unless there is justice. Therefor, Imam Reza’s life could be a model for all”.

The 5th International Imam Reza Congress was underway in the Quds Hall of the shrine on May 14-15.
