One more personality about whom there's a lot of hoax which is spread in the outside
world is Ayatullah ul udhma Sistani. There are a lot of rumours spread in his name and
people are so many things in his name. Reliable personalities of Iran, one of the very big
personalities of Iran Agha Hashemi Rafsanjani, who always was always considered as a pillar
of the revolution, but during the days of fitna changed his stance.In these same days
he visited Iraq for ziyaaraat and went to meet Ayatullah Sistani and tried to discuss
with him a lot of issues but Ayatullah Sistani stopped every discussion and told him only
follow the Rehbar(Ayatullah Khamenei), follow only Rehbar. He(Hashemi Rafsanjani) said we
are followers of Rehbar etc but Ayatullah Sistani said I know all this but still I am
telling you to follow Rehbar. When he tried to talk around the bush, Agha Sistani said
I know everything and I know what's going on inside Iran and the way in which Rehbar
should be followed you are not following him in the same way. Ayatullah Sistani himself
is a Marjae Taqleed, so many people around the world are his muqallid but whenever a
situation arises where leadership is required he diverts everyone towards Rehbar. Infact,
to the people of Iraq also, whenever they are in need of leadership advice he asks them
to go towards the wali-e-faqih. Attach yourself to the roots on which obedience is based so
that you are set free, attach to it. It should not be that you just claim that you are a
follower of Rehbar, practise obedience. Rehbar is not a tool that you run your businesses
on his name so that you earn profits and when the time comes you disassociate yourself from
the Rehbar. There are people who just associate themselves so that they can fulfill their
needs and when time comes run away. Take the name of Ali(as) but when time comes disassociate
with Him(as). A person cannot save himself form fitna by doing this, to save yourself
from fitna bring yourself in the boundaries of obedience.
