Page 56 of the book "Muslims on the Americanization Path?" edited by Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, John L. Esposito: Hanafi jurists say that Islamic laws not applicable to Muslims residing in non-Muslim lands. But Shafi, Hanbali and Shi'i jurists argue that Sharia laws are applicable in the abode of Islam and in the abode of non-Muslims. Most Maliki jurists oppose residence in non-Muslim countries but other schools allow.

Khamenei: Prophet Mohammad showed no mercy to those who waged “soft war” on Islam
https://iranwire.com/en/features/4797
Could we say that there was a coalition between the shah’s court and the clergy in the post-coup period? It seems to have shown itself in the anti-Baha’i campaign that the shah’s government unleashed.
You could definitely say that there was a collation between Shah and the Shia Marja, i.e. Ayatollah Borujerdi. We have documents on this. Ayatollah Borujerdi had issued a message to the shah, saying that “we worked with you (ie. the shah and the monarchy) to bring down Mossadegh and crack down on the communist party and now expect you to work with us to crackdown on the Baha’is, who are a great enemy of Islam.” As much as I know, the shah did collaborate with them. The events of 1955 and 1956 and propagations of [anti-Baha’i preacher, Mohammad Taqi] Falsafi on radio during the holy months of Ramadan and Muharram happened with the shah’s consent. It was rare for the Shah Mosque in the Tehran Bazaar to be given to a Shia preacher to freely propagate against the Baha’is.

Yes, there is not much known about Ayatollah Khomeini’s views on the coup and Dr Mossadegh’s two-year rule. But there is a story that he told after the revolution, when he came back to Iran and was speaking about the National Front and stood against their opposition to the principle of qisas [legal punishment by retribution]. The National Front had called for a rally against qisas and Khomeini didn’t like that, and called them mortads [apostates] who were acting against Islam. This was in 1981.They were repressed at the time and became irrelevant afterwards.
....
After the 1979 revolution, it became clear that he didn’t like Mossadegh and didn’t support him and he had indeed predicted that he’d be “slapped by Islam.”

In 1994, during the Fourth German-Iranian Conference on Human Rights at Teheran, the conservative Shiite cleric Ayatollah Taskhiri encapsulated this worldview. While conceding that “all human beings are potentially equal before God,” Taskhiri insisted that a devout Muslim, “he who fulfills his duty faithfully . . . ultimately can claim a higher degree of actual dignity” than the non-observant Muslim “who fails to accept the religious standard, let alone he who refuses to accept his divine vocation altogether,” the unbeliever. In short, a claim to human rights can only be satisfied if the claimant follows Islam faithfully. In this spirit, the CDHRI announces that “All men are equal in terms of basic human dignity,” but then insists that “the true religion is the guarantee for enhancing such dignity along the path to human integrity.” To Westerners, with their increasingly sacred commitment to treating all alike, such unabashed discrimination is unjus t, but in Islamic ethics, justice is defined as “placing everything in its appropriate place,” not granting equality to one and all regardless of status. In fact, giving equal rights to those whom God has allocated a lesser place in His creation, is a sign of contempt for His sovereignty, and an act of rebellion . As the president of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir explained to Western critics of sharia in 1995: “How do you expect us to introduce equality when inequality is the will of God?”

آیت الله ناصر مکارم شیرازی در سومین شب از لیالی قدر در مسجد مدرسه علمیه امام کاظم(ع) گفت: اخیراً در سخنان یکی از دولت مردان بیان شده بود، امام علی(ع) ولایت و امامت را با آرای مردم دانسته و گفته، دموکراسی میراث علی(ع) است؛ این حرف، حرف عجیبی است؛ زیرا شما یک ذره از نهج البلاغه را دیده‌اید و خطبه‌های دیگر و آیات قرآن را ندیده‌اید؛ اولاً شما باید آیات قرآن را ببینید، بیان میکند،
ولی شما کسی است که در حال رکوع زکات داد؛ خداوند این ولی را تعیین کرده است؛ آیات ولایت در قرآن کریم فراوان است.
وی بیان کرد: امام علی(ع) در این سخن به اتمام حجت در مقابل مخالفان می‌پردازند؛ علاوه بر آن از مسلمات مذهب شیعه است که امام(ع) و ولی از سوی خداوند تعیین میشود نه آرای مردم.
Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, on the third night of Lali Qadam, said in a mosque of the Imam Kazem School of theology:" Recently, in a speech by a male government, Imam Ali (AS) of the province And Imamate has been considered by the people and said that democracy is the legacy of Ali (as); this is a strange thing because you saw a piece of Nahj al-Balaghah, you did not see other sermons and verses of the Qur'an; first, you should see Quranic verses , States,
But you are the one who baptized zakat; God has appointed this wali; the verses of the province are abundant in the Holy Quran.
He stated: Imam Ali (AS) in this speech completes Hojjat versus the opponents; besides, it is a Shiite religion that Imam (AS) and Wali are determined by God, not the votes of the people.

The influence of clerical fatwas in modern Iraqi history can be traced back to the creation of the Iraqi state in the 1920s. It began with a fatwa issued by Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mahdi Al-Khalisi against the election of Faisal as King. Al-Khalisi issued a fatwa stating that “elections and the participation of Iraqi citizens… oppose God, the Prophet, and the Imams.” This fatwa represented the beginning of a long struggle between successive governments and clerics. In 1961, the Shiite cleric Ayatollah Sayyed Muhsin al-Hakim issued a fatwa prohibiting membership of the communist party. The fatwa stipulated that “membership in the communist party is prohibited for it is a heresy, atheism.” Some considered the fatwa dangerous, giving the government a mandate to attack party cadres. But through the history of Iraq there are many examples of fatwas being used for political gain.
....
Ayatollah Sayyed al-Yacoubi, the spiritual leader of al-Fadhila Islamic Party, which controls Basra provincial council, recently issued a fatwa banning transactions with capital investment companies. Meanwhile, another cleric, Sheikh Qassem al-Taei, recently prohibited the drinking of “Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola,” on the basis that “Pepsin – a key ingredient in both drinks – is extracted from pig intestines.” Al-Taei also banned men’s beauty salons which provoked the assassination of some barbers by extremists.

حوزہ علمیہ قم ایران کے استاد نے یہ بیان کرتے ہوئے کہ انسان ، اعلم مرجع کی تقلید کرے کہا: اعلم وہ ہے جس کا فتوا دیگر مراجع تقلید کی بہ نسبت امتیازات کا حامل ہے ، اور اعلم یا ذاتی صلاحیتوں کی بنا پر بنتے ہیں یا مطالعہ اور تحقیق کی بنیاد پر بنتے ہیں ۔
انہوں نے یہ بیان کرتے ہوئے کہ مراجع کی پیروی امام زمانہ(عج) کی پیروی ہے کہا: بعض کا یہ کہنا کہ تقلید لازم نہیں ہے بلکہ انسان دین کے بارے میں جو کچھ بھی جانتا ہے اسی پر عمل کرے یہ ایک غلط بیان ہے ، ہر کسی کو فتوا دینے اور اهل بیت(ع) کے نظریات بیان کرنے کا موقع نہیں دینا چاہئے ، امام خمینی کے قول مطابق امریکا کا صدر جمھوریہ بھی فتوے دینے لگا ہے اب فقط یہ بچ گیا ہے کہ وہ کتاب عروه الوثقی پر حاشیہ لگائے ، اور آج بھی کچھ ایسا ہی ہے ہر کوئی فتوا دینے کو تیار ہے ۔
ہر کسی کو فتوے دینے کی اجازت نہ دیں
آیت الله هادوی تهرانی نے یہ بیان کرتے ہوئے کہ ہر کسی کو فتوے دینے کی اجازت نہ دی جائے کہا: کسی سیاسی فرد کی جانب سے کسی آیت کی تلاوت پر ممانعت صحیح ہے مگر اس کا یہ بیان کہ فلاں آیت کی تلاوت چوں کہ غفلت کا سبب ہے حرام ہے ، یہ بیان قابل قبول نہیں ہے کیوں کہ غیر فقیہ کی جانب سے فقھی نظریات پیش کیا جانا مناسب نہیں ہے ۔
انہوں نے یہ بیان کرتے ہوئے کہ جوان ابتداء بلوغ سے ہی تقلید کریں اور اعلم کی تلاش کریں کہا: تقلید یعنی اهل بیت(ع) کی پیروی اور مراجع کی تقلید کرنے والے اهل بیت(ع) کے پیرو شمار کئے جائیں گے اور قیامت کے دن انہیں اهل بیت(ع) کی صف میں شمار کیا جائے گا البتہ اگر اعلم نہ مل جائیں تو بہتر ہے ورنہ پھر تمام مراجع تقلید برابر ہیں انسان جس کی چاہے اس کی تقلید کرے

Prior to the adoption of the new Penal Code, Iran was the only country that punished consumption of alcohol by death, provided it was the third occasion and the accused receives a hadd punishment on each of the prior offenses.75 There were no reported executions for consumption of alcohol in 2013.76 Under the new Penal Code, the crime of drinking or ingesting certain liquids and beer is punishable by 80 lashes.77 If, however, a repeat offender commits the hodood offense of drinking alcohol, upon the fourth offense, that person shall be sentenced to death.78
Article 136 stipulates that repeat offenders who commit an offence punishable by hodud, and are punished every time, shall be sentenced to death on the fourth occasion. This article has failed to specify the hodud offences and has only mentioned the death sentence for the fourth-occasion theft in Article 278. Nevertheless, articles 220-288 have defined the hodud offences as follows: fornication and adultery, sodomy, lesbianism, pimping, cursing the prophets, theft, drinking alcohol, qadf (false accusation of sodomy or fornication), moharebeh, corruption on earth and rebellion.

Repeat offenders are sentenced to death on the fourth occasion that they are convicted of a hadd offense that does not otherwise call for the death penalty.

Many of them are so torn between their desire to present Islam as a religion of tolerance and their determination to force their fellow-citizens back into the Islamic fold that they end up in complete incoherence. Take the ayatullah Sabzawari, a Shi'ite cleric who published his exegesis in 1997. He starts by interpreting the no compulsion verse to mean that compulsion is unnecessary, impossible, and forbidden: it couldn't be clearer. He adds that Islam was not established by the sword: fine. But Muslims do have to fight, he says, not to convert people by force, only to restore them to their original nature, which is Islam. In his view this is not really compulsion, for like other Imamis he combines the second Mu'tazilite argument with the old idea of Islam as original human nature (fitra) and argues that to deny Islam is to deny one's own identity and will, so that being forced to live as a Muslim is simply to be restored to one's self. Besides, he says, compulsion only affects the external man, and sometimes it is actually a good thing for both the public order and the victim; indeed, what would be more repugnant in moral term than leaving people to work for their own damnation? In short, forced conversion is unnecessary, impossible, forbidden, required, a good thing, and highly commendable.
Or for a Sunni example, take Dr 'Amir 'Abd al-'Aziz , editor with Yusuf al-Qaradawi and others of the Journal of Islamic Jerusalem Studies, who published an exegetical work, in Arabic, in 2000. He too starts by affirming that the "no compulsion" verse rejects forced conversion. "It is not permitted for Muslims to convert infidels to the faith by force", he says, "for that kind of thing is no use, leads to no good, and does not bring about faith in the hearts of their own free will". He adds that it is not necessary to use force either, for Islam is a clear religion based on cogent arguments (many traditional exegetes say that too). On the contrary, he declares, the coercive method is characteristic of vacuous, odious, self-absorbed egoists and oppressive authorities. So there is no coercion. But, he says, the verse was revealed specifically about Christians and Jews. Idolaters and similar godless and permissive people have to be compelled to adopt Islam, since they cannot be accepted as dhimmis and do not deserve any consideration because of their godlessness, stupidity, error and foolishness. In other words, Muslims are not permitted to convert anyone force, but "anyone" really just means dhimmis, as in traditional law. All others have to be forced, above all Muslim secularists.

[Extracts from Ayatollah Abul Qassim Khoei's book "Islamic Laws"]
2794. If a person commits adultery with one of his mehrams who are united by ties of consanguinity like mother and sister he should be killed under the orders of the Religious Head and the same order applies if an unbeliever commits adultery with a Muslim woman. It has been said in many traditions that awarding one of the religious punishments becomes the cause of people abstaining from unlawful things; it secures their present world and the Hereafter, and it is more beneficial for them than rain falling for forty days.
2795. If a free man commits adultery he should be whipped one hundred times, and if he commits adultery thrice and is whipped one hundred times on each occasion, he should be killed, if he commits adultery for the fourth time. If a person has a permanent wife or a slave girl, and has had sexual intercourse with her in the state of being adult, sane and free, and on have sexual intercourse with her any time he likes, and in spite of that he commits adultery with a woman, who is adult and sane, he should be stoned to death.
2796. It is well known that if a man sees another man committing adultery with his wife, and has no fear of sustaining harm, he can kill both of them. However, it appears difficult that this order should be valid. However his wife does not become unlawful for him.
.....
2799. If a child kills his father or mother intentionally, he should be killed, and if a father kills his child intentionally he should pay diyah (blood-money) in accordance with the orders which will be related later and should be beaten as much as the Religious Head may deem fit.
2800. If a person kisses a boy lustfully the Religious Head can whip him thirty to ninety nine times as he deems fit. And it has been narrated that the Almighty Allah puts a nozzle of fire in the mouth of that man; the angels of the heavens and the earth and the angels of blessing and wrath curse him, and Hell will be ready for him. However, if he repents of his sin his repentance is accepted.
2801. If a man arranges the meeting of a man and a woman or adultery or of a man and a boy for sodomy, he should be whipped seventy five times. And it is well known that after whipping him seventy five times his head should be shaved and he should be taken round in the streets and the bazaars and should be expelled from the place where he performed this act. However, this order is not proved.
Islam has prescribed severe penalty for a serious offence like adultery. Some of the aspects are given in the points mentioned below.
1) If a person commits an incestuous fornication he is to be killed according to Islamic laws.
2) If one sees that a stranger is fornicating with his wife, then he can kill both of them if he considers himself safe in doing so. But if he does not feel safe or if he does not wish to kill them, then apparently his wife is not prohibited for him.
3) If a Kafir commits adultery with a Muslim woman, he is to be killed according to Shari’a. Similarly, if a Muslim is punished thrice for fornication and is again proved guilty for the fourth time, he is to be executed.
4) If the person is sane, major, and legally married, and has a wife with whom he could establish sexual relation whenever he wants, and in spite of this he commits fornication with another sane, mature woman, he has to be stoned to death according to the Islamic law. And according to some Mujtahids, he must first be given a hundred lashes.
5) If a man does not fulfill the conditions listed in the above point, and if he commits fornication with a woman then his penalty according to Islamic law is a hundred lashes. Similarly, the married woman who willingly commits fornication should be stoned to death. If she is unmarried, then the penalty for her is a hundred lashes.

امام محمد باقر علیہ السلام فرماتے ہیں:
حَدٌّ یُقَامُ فِی الْأَرْضِ أَزْكَى فِیهَا مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِینَ لَیْلَةً وَ أَیَّامِهَا [وسائل الشیعہ، جلد 18، صفحہ 308]
"زمین پر ایک شرعی حد کا اجرا چالیس دن کی مفید اور پاکیزہ کرنے والی بارش سے بہتر ہے۔" لیکن امریکی اسلام کی نظر میں شرعی حدود اور سزاوں کا اجرا شدت پسندی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ ایسے اسلام میں قاتل اور مجرم افراد کے ساتھ وہی رویہ اختیار کئے جانے پر تاکید کی جاتی ہے جو مغربی دنیا میں اختیار کیا جاتا ہے۔
...
امریکی اسلام میں جو گناہ مغربی اقدار سے ہم آہنگی اور مطابقت رکھتے ہوں، ان میں کوئی برائی نہیں اور تمام فیصلوں میں مغربی طاقتوں کی رضامندی کو مدنظر قرار دیا جاتا ہے، جبکہ قرآن کریم میں ارشاد ہوتا ہے:
وَ لَنْ تَرْضىٰ عَنْكَ اَلْيَهُودُ وَ لاَ اَلنَّصٰارىٰ حَتّٰى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ﴿البقرة، 120﴾
"یہودی اور نصرانی اس وقت تک تم سے راضی نہیں ہوں گے جب تک تم ان کے قانون کی پیروی نہیں کرو گے۔"
لہذا مغربی طاقتیں صرف اسی صورت میں ہم سے راضی ہوں گی، جب ہم دین مبین اسلام کی حقیقت کو ترک کرکے صرف اپنے ظاہر کی حد تک اسلام کا خیال رکھیں اور اسلام کا لبادہ اوڑھ کر مغربی اقدار اور قوانین کی پیروی کرنے لگیں۔ اگرچہ تکفیری گروہوں اور وہابی حکومتوں میں سب سے زیادہ امریکی اسلام کی خصوصیات پائی جاتی ہیں، لیکن ہمیں سیکولر اور لادین حکومتوں سے بھی غافل نہیں ہونا چاہئے، کیونکہ ان میں بھی ایک حد تک یہ خصوصیات دیکھنے کو ملتی ہیں۔

3. One who leaves the salat with the intention of its being lawful to
leave it, should be killed if he was born in a Muslim family. Or he should be
made to repent and turn from sin, if he has embraced Islam after being
infidel. If he refuses repentance he should be killed.2 In case he claims to
have probable suspicion, he will be exempted from punishment. But if he be
not deeming ignorance of salat as lawful, he should be rebuked and censured
(ta'zir). If he returns to this act (again) he should be censured. If he repeats it for a third time he should be killed. Some legists said: he should be killed in the fourth time, the view which is nearer to precaution.

From Burayd Al-`Ijlee said: Aboo Ja`far (عليه السلام) was asked about a man who witnesses upon him (say) they witness that he broke (his fast) from the Month of RamaDaan three days. So he (عليه السلام) said: “Ask him: ‘Do you (belief) that breaking (your fast) is a sin?’ And if he says: “No”. It is upon the Imaam (leader) that he kills him, and if he says “Yes”, then it is upon the Imaam that he strikes him hard (?)”

2004: Among other things, the Mahdi Army imposed compulsory veils on women in the southern cities of Iraq. It also destroyed liquor shops and killed their owners. During Christmas of last year alone, this group killed 8 Christians accused of selling liquor in the city of Basra. They kill their opponents after accusing them of being members of the Baath party. Hardly a day passes without the killing of a few people and tossing their bodies into residential areas to terrify people and their opponents. The army also cultivates "pleasure marriage," which is another form of prostitution and now a very profitable business in the regions they rule. They oppress any form of freedom of expression, including the freedom to organise and demonstrate. They brutally repress any mass protest. This group, along with the Kurdish nationalist parties, has incited sectarian and ethnic frictions in Kirkuk, which claimed the lives of dozens of people and prepared the ground for a full-scale ethnic and sectarian war in this city. They kill workers who cooperate with the coalition after branding them "enemy collaborators".
Muqtada al-Sadr's paper, al-Hawza, has published fatwas to kill communists, secular people, women, and followers of other faiths and has incited violence against opponents.

۳۔اور جن مسا ئل میں متوکل نے امام ؑ کی طرف رجوع کیا اُن میں سے ایک مسئلہ یہ ہے کہ متوکل کے پاس ایک ایسے نصرانی شخص کو لایا گیا جس نے مسلمان عورت سے زنا کیا تھا ،جب متوکل نے اُس پر حد جاری کرنے کا ارادہ کیا تو وہ مسلمان ہو گیا ،یحییٰ بن اکثم نے کہا :اس کے ایمان کے ذریعہ اُ س کا شرک اور فعل نابودہو گیا ،بعض فقہا ء نے اُس پر تین طرح کی حد جاری کرنے کا فتویٰ دیا ،بعض فقہا ء نے اس کے خلاف فتویٰ دیا ،تو متوکل نے یہ مسئلہ امام علی نقی ؑ کی خدمت میں پیش کیا،آپ ؑ نے جواب میں فرمایا کہ اس کو اتنا مارا جائے کہ وہ مرجائے ،یحییٰ اور بقیہ فقہاء نے اس کا انکار کرتے ہوئے کہا :ایسا کتاب و سنت میں نہیں آیا ہے ۔ متوکل نے ایک خط امام ؑ کی خدمت میں تحریر کیا جس میں لکھا : مسلمان فقہا اس کا انکار کر رہے ہیں اور ان کا کہنا ہے کہ یہ کتاب خدا اور سنتِ رسول میں نہیں آیا ہے۔ لہٰذا آپ ؑ ہمارے لئے یہ بیان فرما دیجئے کہ آپ ؑ نے یہ فتویٰ کیوں دیا ہے کہ اس کو اتنا مارا جائے جس سے وہ مرجائے ؟امام ؑ نے جواب میں بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم کے بعد یہ آیت تحریر فر ما ئی :(فَلَمَّاجَاءَتْہُمْ رُسُلُہُمْ بِالْبَیِّنَاتِ فَرِحُوابِمَا عِنْدَہُمْ مِنْ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِہِمْ مَاکَانُوا بِہِ یَسْتَہْزِءُون فَلَمَّارَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا قَالُواآمَنَّا بِاﷲِ وَحْدَہُ وَکَفَرْنَابِمَاکُنَّا بِہِ مُشْرِکِینَ )۔ ’’پھر جب اُن کے پاس رسول معجزات لیکر آئے تواپنے علم پر ناز کرنے لگے ،اور نتیجہ میں جس بات کا مذاق اڑارہے تھے اسی نے اپنے گھیرے میں لے لیا ہے ۔پھر جب انھوں نے ہمارے عذاب کو دیکھا تو کہنے لگے کہ ہم خدائے یکتا پر ایمان لائے ہیں اور جن باتوں کا شرک کیا کرتے تھے سب کا انکار کررہے ہیں ‘‘۔اور متوکل نے امام ؑ کا نظریہ تسلیم کر لیا

حضرت آیت اللہ خامنہ ای نے اسی سلسلے میں بعض نعروں اور تقریروں پر بھی تنقید کی کہ جو بظاہر اسلامی ہیں لیکن انکے حقیقی معنی مختلف ہیں۔
آپ نے اس سلسلے میں ایک مثال کا ذکر کرتے ہوئے فرمایا کہ آجکل رائج رحمانی اسلام کی اصطلاح دو خوبصورت لفظوں سے بنی ہے لیکن اس کے حقیقی معنی کیا ہیں؟ آیا اس سے مراد یہ ہے کہ قرآن کے برخلاف کہ جس نے انسانوں کو مومن، کافر، دشمن اور دوست میں تقسیم کیا ہے کیا تمام انسانوں سے صرف اور صرف رحمت سے پیش آیا جائے؟ اور جو لوگ اسلام اور ملت ایران سے دشمنی برتتے ہیں خداوند متعال کے فرمان کے برخلاف ان سے محبت، مودت اور معدلت سے پیش آیا جائے؟
آپ نے اس طرح کی غیر سنجیدہ اور سطحی گفتگو کو غلط اور گمراہ کر دینے والا قرار دیا اور فرمایا کہ آیا رحمانی اسلام مغربی لبرل ازم کی پیداوار ہے؟ اگر ایسا ہے تو یہ اصطلاح نہ اسلامی ہے نہ رحمانی اور نہ ہی عاطفی، چونکہ لبرل ازم اومانزم پر مبنی فکر یعنی خدا اور معنویت کی نفی کی وجہ سے وجود میں آئی ہے کہ جس کی بنیادیں طاقتوار افراد کے فائدے پر استوار ہیں۔

انہوں نے اپنی گفت و گو کو جاری رکھتے ہوئے بیان کیا : قرآن
کریم فرماتا ہے کہ مسلمان کی طاقت و قدرت اس حد تک ہو کہ دشمن ہمیشہ اس سے
خوف و رعب میں رہیں ، مسلمانوں کو چاہیئے کہ مضبوط سماج کی تشکیل میں قدم
بڑھائیں تا کہ حقیقی اسلام کے نظریہ کو نافذ کیا جا سکے ؛ ہر سماج و معاشرے
کو ایک ناظم کی ضرورت ہے کہ امام زمانہ عج کی غیبت کے زمانہ میں مدیریت و

One such cleric is the reactionary Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, who has consistently declared that democracy, freedom, and human rights have no place in Islamic teachings.
https://www.al-islam.org/study-polytheism-and-idolatry-quran-abbas-sayyid-karimi/chapter-9-types-polytheism#2-polytheism-obedience
Obeying the Islamic jurist and leader is exactly the same as monotheism in obedience and following forbidden democracy is exactly the same as polytheism in obedience. It is for this same reason that the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that after the president has been elected, the consent or endorsement of the Islamic jurist and leader is necessary, because the people’s vote does not by itself give him the religious authority to rule and be obeyed. The endorsement of the Islamic jurist and leader makes obeying the president tantamount to obeying Allah, and exactly the same as monotheism.

Ayatollah Mohsin al-Hakim issued fatwa proclaiming communism ''irreligious and blasphemous" on 15 Feb 1960 (page 90) and gave another death fatwa against communists in 1963 (page 91)
http://www.iranchamber.com/literature/articles/tale_of_book_iran.php
In 1979, the repressive regime of the Shah was overthrown and replaced by an Islamic republic. In the immediate aftermath of the Revolution, millions of white cover books were sold on the pavements outside Tehran University. But some months later, groups of men and women, claiming themselves members of Hezbollah, or God's Party, took control of the streets, smashed the windows of bookshops, and set fire to books they deemed immoral. Soon the new government banned books written by or about the Shah, as well as books dedicated to him or the royal family. Eventually, this censorship extended to books on Marxism, Darwinian evolution, and anything else seen as contradictory to religious doctrine.
The famous fatwa,or Islamic legal opinion, that decreed punishment for anyone having anything to do with Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses might be regarded not as something new but as a continuation of an old heritage, passed down from the Shah, which he in turn inherited from other despots who came before him. It is worth noting that in 1988, one year before the fatwa, another book of Rushdie's, Midnight's Children, was published in Iran and was awarded a prize as the best Persian translation of the year. After the fatwa, all copies of it were confiscated.

20 Jan 1990: But the men around the table, despite being victims of persecution, with 185 of their own texts proscribed, have no conception that tolerance is a good idea. They cannot understand my jokes, and I cannot understand their logic. What is it about Islam that makes its members demand to be taken so seriously, whilst at the same time talking rubbish? In Ireland one of their leaders insisted that eating pork makes you homosexual. I am constantly hearing from them that women have to be veiled, as the alternative is to see them made into playthings. It seems that Mus- lims think no outsider can judge them on their words, because no one else has the authority to do so. They live in a kind of overgrown boy's Wendy House, impervious to the complexities of the big world outside.

8 Nov 2004:
The move to block Web sites has the support of a senior cleric, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, who declared in September in the hard-line daily newspaper Kayhan that Web sites should be blocked if they "insult sacred concepts of Islam, the Prophet and Imams," or "publish harmful and deviated beliefs to promote atheism or promote sinister books."
http://www.torontoreviewofbooks.com/2012/04/disappearing-bookstores-a-letter-from-sweden-toronto-and-iran/
Bookstores in Iran disappear not because of high rents but because of state repression. Along with newspaper closures, arrests of intellectuals, journalists, and writers, bookstores have been closed down in large number. Bookstores are a refuge for thoughts, a place for exchange of ideas, and hence, subversive and dangerous for tyranny.
Morgh-e-Amin, a bookstore and publishing house in central Tehran, was attacked by “the supporters of the party of God” (Ansar-e Hezbollah) in August 1995. The justification was the publishing of Gods Laugh on Mondays, a novel about a homosexual basiji, a paramilitary volunteer. “The supporters of the party of God,” humiliated to be associated with homosexuals, first beat the bookstore personnel and then poured gasoline on the books, and burned down the bookstore. No one was arrested or prosecuted.
In winter 2004, Roshangaran, a prominent publisher of women’s books, was burned down. In the mid-2000s, when bookstores in Tehran opened small cafés where book tables, book launches, and literary meetings were organized, the authorities’ attacks intensified.
In 2007 alone, six bookstores were targeted for crackdown in Tehran. To survive, many bookstores have stopped selling books and become office supplies shops (lavazem ul-tahrir fouroushi). Some others sell only schoolbooks. Many good books, often “banned” books, have moved beyond the bricks and mortar of bookstore shelves to the sidewalks in front of Tehran University.

26 Nov 2007:
The swift move by Iran's Islamic Culture and Guidance Minister to ban a newly published novel by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez has once again put the spotlight on the phenomenon of censorship in Iran.
The ban on "Memoirs of My Melancholy Whores," published in Iran as "My Sad Sweethearts," has raised new concerns about the fate of many banned writers and hundreds of other banned books in Iran.
...
In the last two years, the removal of parts and whole pieces of works by well-known poets such as Souzani Samarghandi, Omar Khayam, Molana Jalaledin Rumi, Nezami Ganjavi, Abid Zakani, Iradj Mirza, and even some lexicons from Ali Akbar Dehkhoda and Farhang Moeen has occurred.
Additionally, the works of popular literature by such people as Samak Ayar and Hossein Kord Shabastri have been published only after the elimination of some of their main elements.
The main target of censorship has been some of Iran's best contemporary writers and researchers, such as Sadegh Hedayat, Sadegh Choobak, Ebrahim Golestan, Gholamhossein Saaedi, Ahmad Kasravi, Ali Dashti, Ebrahim Poordavoud, Zabih Behrouz, and others.

2 March 2009:
Last week, Iranian government media launched a campaign against Shabestari, calling a recent speech he gave in Isfahan "blasphemy." In that speech, Shabestari said that "if in a society the three concepts of God, power, and authority are mixed up, a political-religious despotism will find strong roots...and the people will suffer greatly."
Ahmad Khatami, the acting chief imam of Tehran and a member of the Experts Council, called Shabestari's statements "atheism." Khatami said Shabestari "is opposed to the principle of Velayate Faqih," the political theory that Iran's Islamic republic is based on.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/06/30/irans-clerics-debate-cause-of-earthquake/71f95b8d-8473-4623-8b7b-978d7f4483a0/
30 June 1990: A month ago, Iranian authorities in Tehran launched a major crackdown on violators of the Islamic rules governing women's dress. An unknown number of women -- some estimates say more than 1,000 -- were detained or arrested for wearing too much makeup, failing to cover their ankles or allowing their scarves to slip off their heads.
Diplomats reported that a Yugoslav businessman visiting Tehran was pulled from his car and arrested for wearing a tie, a piece of attire seen as insultingly ornate by some of Iran's religious leaders. In addition, notices appeared reminding merchants that it is illegal to display women's underwear in storefront windows.

Sep 7, 2009: Hardline Shiite cleric and the spiritual and religious father of members of the administration said during a speech he delivered at ayatollah Khamenei's office in the city of Qom that opponents to the rule of the Islamic republic supreme leader are "moharebs" [enemies of God] and that "Democracy, freedom, and human rights have no place" in Islamic theology.
http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1342942.html
30 August 1999: Speaking before the Tehran Friday Prayers on 6 August, Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi, who is the Tafresh Prayer Leader and a member of the Assembly of Experts, said about Islam's enemies: "They presented principles such as tolerance and compromise as absolute values while violence was introduced as a non-value." Mesbah-Yazdi believes that "the taboo -- that every act of violence is bad and every act of tolerance is good -- must be broken." Opponents of violence -- "even some of the elite" -- have been "deceived and entrapped" by "foreign propaganda," he said. Mesbah-Yazdi believes that "The enemies of Islam must also feel the harshness and violence of Islam."
....
"Kayhan" editorialized on 5 August that an insider is "someone whose heart beats for Islam, the revolution and the Imam," while outsiders are those who have "separated their path from the line of the Imam, the system, and the people who, by relying on 'citizens' rights,' want to introduce themselves as equal partners." Opponents of Mesbah-Yazdi's views were denounced by "Jebheh" on 14 August as followers of "American Islam."
http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1092108.html
9 Sep 1999: The paper infuriated conservatives earlier this month by publishing an article saying Iran should do away with the death penalty in line with universal standards of human rights.
The call for ending the death penalty drew an immediate condemnation from Iran's conservative Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said that journalists who question the tenets of Iran's Islamic law are "apostates" liable themselves for the death penalty. In keeping with the spirit of Khamenei's words, a conservative-dominated press court quickly put to death the offending paper, despite Neshat printing an apology to readers, saying it had no intention of offending or questioning Islam.

8 Jan 2001: Some 262 people were arrested during the raid on a New Years party at Tehran's ASP apartment complex. Interior Ministry official Jahanbakhsh Khanjani said that those arrested included two Arabs, two Westerners, and two Indians. Khanjani went on to say that the guests were arrested for their inappropriate appearances, and later reports cited alcohol consumption and mingling between sexes. A woman who received 70 lashes after being arrested indicated in an interview with RFE/RL's Persian Service that the security personnel employed excessive force, using batons against the female guests. The people who were arrested were taken to a Ministry of Intelligence and Security facility and then transferred to Evin Prison, where they remained overnight. A judge then came and decreed that 11 out of 126 women were to be flogged. ... The continuing actions of hardline vigilante groups in Iran's capital city, however, make Police 110 look redundant. The vigilantes raided Tehran cinemas showing the film "Mix," which features women playing musical instruments, in front of a mixed audience, "Entekhab" reported on 2 January. (Bill Samii)

30 April 2001: in a sermon at the Qods Mosque in Qom, Mesbah-Yazdi praised Navvab Safavi, the assassin of author Ahmad Kasravi, and he encouraged taking similar steps against the enemies of Islamic government ("Dowran-i Imruz," 18 January).
One of Mesbah-Yazdi's proteges and a Haqqani alumni, Hojatoleslam Qaravian, recently told a student conference that despotism was not necessarily a bad thing and could be justified when it means "obeying the divine decree." Qaravian went on to say that public opinion is meaningless, otherwise one would think that the opponents of Imam Hussein at Karbala were right because of their superior numbers, the Iranian Students News Agency reported on 21 April.
http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1342806.html
18 Nov 2002: Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi said in a pre-sermon speech in Tehran: "The prophets of God did not believe in pluralism. They believed that only one idea was right," according to IRNA. Mesbah-Yazdi directly criticized President Khatami's use of the term "independence, freedom, and progress" (istiqlal, azadi, va pishraft) rather than the term "independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic" (istiqlal, azadi, va Jomhuri-yi Islami).
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/dec/5/20021205-104359-7916r/
6 Dec 2002: Hard-line vigilantes, best known for disrupting reformist gatherings and beating up students, declared a “holy war” Wednesday to rid Iran of reformers who promote democracy and challenge the country’s supreme leader.
The declaration in the weekly newspaper of the hard-line group Ansar-e-Hizbullah, the chief organization of the vigilante movement, appeared to be a direct challenge to Iran’s reformist president, Mohammad Khatami.
Masoud Dehnamaki, a vigilante ideologue, also said Wednesday that Iranians who try to appease Iran’s enemies such as the United States “should be stopped.”
The article in the weekly newspaper Ya Lesarat, the usual vehicle for announcing Ansar-e-Hizbullah decisions, warned that the time has come for a “revolutionary jihad,” or holy war, to remove reformers from power and replace them with “idealist and religious” officials.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28iran.t.html
Public execution and flogging are “a basic principle of Islam,” Mesbah-Yazdi has said, and the government should regulate the content of speech “just as it checks the distribution of adulterated or contaminated foodstuffs.” Because “Mesbah” sounds like the Farsi word for crocodile, he is known by his critics as Ayatollah Crocodile. (A cartoonist was once imprisoned for depicting him as a reptile, shedding crocodile tears as he strangled a dissident writer with his tail.)

“We shall wait to see what place these foxes who claim to be the supporters of reform will occupy in hell,” Mesbah-Yazdi proclaimed. If Iranians believed in their supreme leader as the agent of God, second-guessing his judgment through elections was tantamount to holding a referendum on whether or not Damavand was the highest peak in Iran. What if 51 percent of the public said that it was not? “It doesn’t matter what the people think,” Mesbah-Yazdi was quoted as saying. “The people are ignorant sheep.” He has also said, “Islam was the government of God, not the government of the people.”
......
Mesbah-Yazdi’s statements on most of these matters were a matter of public record, and they were even blunter. “If someone tells you he has a new interpretation of Islam, hit him in the mouth,” he said in 2000. Two years later, he said, “The prophets of God did not believe in pluralism. They believed that only one idea was right.” On Sept. 4, 1999, he said: “Killing hypocrites does not require a court order, as it is a duty imposed by the Shariah on all genuine Muslims. The order of Islam is to throw them down from a high mountain and kill them outright.” He spoke the following month of the need to break the unnecessary taboo on violence.
If such a taboo existed in the Islamic republic, it had been broken. That year, a string of dissidents were murdered under suspicious circumstances. In the writings that led to his prison sentence, Ganji accused Mesbah-Yazdi of sanctifying such actions with whispered fatwas and members of the Haqqani circle of direct involvement in the murders. A member of the shadowy vigilante group Ansar-e Hezbollah, which had violently attacked student demonstrators in July 1999, lent credence to Ganji’s claims with videotaped testimony in which he said that Mesbah-Yazdi had encouraged the group to assassinate a reformist politician. “Now, on the issue of whether I authorized the assassination of individuals,” Mesbah-Yazdi declared unapologetically in March 2001, “I must say that Imam Khomeini, may God be satisfied with him, issued a decree saying that shedding Salman Rushdie’s blood was a religious obligation and, therefore, he advocated resorting to violence as well.”
.....
Zibakalam described Mesbah-Yazdi’s reading of velayat-i-faqih as a radical version of the one first proposed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. But when I looked back through the lectures in which Khomeini first delineated the theory in Najaf in 1970, I found a vision strikingly similar to Mesbah-Yazdi’s. At that time, Khomeini had little truck with popular sovereignty. He quoted the Koran and sayings attributed to Muhammad: “The prophet has higher claims on the believers than their own selves” and “The scholars are the heirs of the prophet.” The only legitimate legislation was that which had already been made by God, and this would be administered by the learned jurist, who would rule over the people like a guardian over a child.

Ibn Baqīr relates that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) was informed about the person who took interest and considered it as permissible as mother’s milk. Imam (a.s.) said:
“If Allah gives me power over this man, I would strike off his head.”5
It is clear that to consider interest Harām is an article of faith. One who disregards this and says that interest is not Harām becomes an apostate. The Imam (a.s.) can also have him killed.

ہر سال مختلف اسلامی ممالک میں ماہ محرم کے پہلے جمعے کو شیرخوار بچوں کا ایک عظیم اجتماع ہوتا ہے جس میں مائیں اپنے بچوں کو شبیہ علی اصغر(ع) بنا کر یہ عہد کرتی ہیں کہ اگر کل امام حسین (ع) کا ششماہہ علی اصغر اپنے وقت کے امام پر قربان ہوا تو آج ہمارے نونہال بھی اپنے وقت کے امام پر قربان ہونے کےلیے تیار ہیں۔
اسی حوالے سے منگل کے دن چھ محرم الحرام صبح 09 بجے امام بارگاہِ نچاری میں شہزادہ علی اصغر(ع) کے نام پرمجلس اور حسینی اطفال کے اجتماع کا پروگرام منعقد کیا گیا ہے۔ جن ماؤں کے ایک سال تک کے بچے ہیں، وہ اس محفل میں شرکت کرکے اُم رباب(ع) کو علی اصضر(ع) کا پُرسہ پیش کریں گی۔

حجۃ الاسلام انصاریان نےاس مطلب کہ عرش اوراس کےاطراف کے فرشتے ہمیشہ اہل ایمان کے لیے دعا کرتے ہیں،کی وضاحت کرتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ جو شخص مومن نہیں ہے اورنماز نہیں پڑھتا ہے اس کے لیے کوئی دعا نہیں کی جاتی ہے۔
انہوں نےمزید کہا ہے کہ جب کائنات کے دعا کرنے والے دعا کرتےہیں تو ان کی دعا اجنبی افراد کو شامل نہیں ہوتی ہے بلکہ ایسے افراد کو شامل ہوتی ہےکہ جو اللہ تعالیٰ اوراس کے فرشتوں سے آشنا ہوں۔
حوزہ علمیہ کےاستاد نےکہا ہےکہ جو شخص امت مسلمہ کے درمیان زندگی بسرکرتا ہے اورنماز سےروگردانی کرتا ہےاس میں ابلیس کا تکبرپایا جاتا ہے۔
انہوں نے مزید کہا ہےکہ اللہ کے بندے اپنے نیک کاموں پرمغرور ہونے کی بجائے خوش ہوتےہیں اوراگروہ غصے میں آتے ہیں تو کسی کو نقصان نہیں پہنچاتےاوراللہ تعالیٰ جب بھی انہیں کوئی نعمت دیتا ہے تو وہ عمل میں اس کا شکریہ ادا کرتے ہیں یعنی اسی راہ میں خرچ کرتے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ جسے پسند کرتا ہے۔
حجۃ الاسلام انصاریان نےآخرمیں کہا ہے کہ بے نمازی شخص ابلیس والا تکبررکھتا ہے اوراس کے عذاب میں کوئی چھوٹ نہیں ہے اورقیامت کے دن کوئی بھی اس کی مدد نہیں کرسکے گا کیونکہ وہ اجنبی ہے۔ قرآن کریم فرماتا ہےکہ نماز تمام موجودات کے لیے ہے اورجوشخص نماز نہیں پڑھتا ہے اس کا کوی جاننے والا نہیں ہےکہ جو قیامت کے دن اس کی مدد کرسکے۔

حجت الاسلام موسوی گفت: اگر کسی مواردی که صریحاً قرآن به آن اشاره کرده از جمله قصاص را منکر شود، ارتداد در مورد وی قطعی است.

"Since 2003, public movements such as the "Wear it Right" campaign have worked to raise awareness about the correct way to wear the hijab. Streets in Iraq are filled with placards and banners hung on electrical poles and on high-rise buildings that depict how to wear the hijab and urge women to wear it."
....
The munaqaba is usually associated with fanatic Sunnism and affiliated with IS and other Sunni groups in the Western and northern areas of the country, while the muhannaka belongs to Shiite factions."
19 June 2010: A senior Iranian cleric has decreed dogs are "unclean" and should not be kept as pets -- a move aimed at discouraging Western-style dog ownership in the Islamic state, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Dogs are considered "unclean" under Islamic tradition but, while relatively rare in Iran, some people do keep them as pets.
By issuing a fatwa -- a religious ruling -- Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has sent a clear message that this trend must stop.
"Friendship with dogs is a blind imitation of the West," he was quoted as saying in Javan daily. "There are lots of people in the West who love their dogs more than their wives and children."
Guard dogs and sheep dogs are considered acceptable under Islamic law but Iranians who carry dogs in their cars or take them to public parks can be stopped by police and fined.

14 July 2010: In the latest such controversy, Mr Ahmadinejad, who never wears a tie in public, has gone on record as saying that no religious leader has banned the tie, which since the 1979 Islamic revolution has been regarded as a symbol of Western culture.
He was criticised by Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, normally close ally of the Iranian president, who said: "I say to him that many religious dignitaries believe ties should not be worn.
"The
supreme guide (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) himself has said in a fatwa
(religious edict) that the wearing of ties or bow ties is not
permitted."
The tie has in past years been making a comeback in Iran, especially at events such as weddings and funerals.
Ayatollah
Khatami also criticised the president for saying it was not a problem
for a man to shave his beard. "I call on Mr Ahmadinejad not to take up
complicated religious questions because this weakens the government," he
said.
In
June, the Iranian president aroused the wrath of fellow hardliners and
several top Shiite clerics for criticising a police crackdown on
improperly veiled women.

" For young women in Iran, this means strict regulations on what is and what is not acceptable dress; the condemnation of make-up and nail varnish; being in public with men who are not their close relatives, and constantly being stopped and questioned by morality patrols made up of women dressed in all-enfolding black chadors, who will drag them to a police station and fine them for infringements.
And the infringements are numerous. In 2010, the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences circulated a 23-point directive, which stipulated that "men must wear loose, long-sleeved shirts and women must have their 'manteau' coats completely buttoned up at all times. With the exception of wedding bands, all gold rings and bracelets are banned for both sexes. Fingernails must be kept short, clean and free of nail polish. Shoes must not have high heels or pointed toes. Chewing gum in class and laughing out loud in public places are also prohibited."
In 2010, the Chief Prosecutor of Mashhad, Mahmud Zoghli, launched a drive to crack down on "bad hejab," imposing a fine of approximately $1,300 for each breach of the law. This was confirmed nationally by the Interior Minister and Chief of Police, Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar. Behind this clampdown lies the conservative parliament and the clerical institutions that overshadow it. Although only some 14% of Majlis members are now clerics, parliament itself is heavily overshadowed by 'ulama [religious scholars] in all other branches of government. These branches include the Guardian Council, the Expediency Council, the Assembly of Experts, the Ministry of Intelligence and Security, the judiciary, as well as outside powers such as the Revolutionary Guards."

16 Nov 2010: Iran has unveiled a number of "Islamic" products including an Islamic tie.
The tie, which is shaped like the sword of Imam Ali (cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad who is considered by Shi'a as his rightful successor) and decorated with an Islamic hadith (a saying attributed to Muhammad), has been registered in the Islamic republic by inventor Hemat Komeili. (For a picture, click here.)
Komeili has been quoted as saying that his tie has been approved by some of the sources of emulation. He says it appears beautiful like a tie in addition to being based on Islamic values.
Ties came under attack in Iran following the 1979 revolution as one of the symbols of "decadent" Western cultures. It was reported that men with ties were detained in the early days of the revolution and according to unconfirmed reports in some cases their ties were cut off.
Some Iranian men still wear ties in public even though it is generally condemned and disapproved by the country's leaders and clerics.
Meanwhile an Iranian company says it has created the first Islamic doll.
Iran had in the past created two dolls, "Sara" and "Dara," which were to counter Barbie and Ken but reportedly were not very popular. The new doll, which is branded Islamic and not Iranian, has the Arabic name "Fatima."
Hossein Homay Seresht, of the company Fam that created Fatima, says the doll is meant to fight the "enemies' cultural invasion" of the Islamic republic.
Seresht says that Iran's enemies are increasingly targeting 3-year-old kids.
"The Westerners, by creating Barbie and marketing it, are encouraging bad veiling and not wearing the hijab; all of these factors led us to take it as our duty to present Islamic dolls to the market," he said.
The company has also produced the "Hijab Forbidden" software, which despite its name is designed to promote the Islamic hijab, or veiling.
Seresht says the software includes video clips of Islamic fashion, speeches about the hijab and a "Hijab Messenger," an instant messaging service that he said is based on the same model as Yahoo messenger but that chat can only take place with "people who are defined within the system."
He provides no further details and does not say whether it means that only people who are wearing the hijab or those who support the hijab can use it.

28 May 2011: Open kitchens are the latest addition to the list of supposedly un-Islamic items and behaviors in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to conservative cleric Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, open kitchens don't allow homeowners to be protected from the eyes of their guests.
"Women should be allowed to do their work while they have guests without being watched by others," Amoli was quoted as saying in a meeting in the holy city of Qom, where he is based.
...
Owning dogs is considered un-Islamic, even though some Iranians own them. Some people also wear tight or colorful clothes and makeup in public, all of which are officially no-no's. So are trendy hairstyles, but that doesn't stop some young men from sporting them.
Other actions and activities that have been deemed un-Islamic -- with varying degrees of correspondence to what actual people do -- include Western music, ties, the mingling of individuals of opposite sexes, women entering sports stadiums to watch soccer games, and advertising for banks.
... Hard-line cleric Mebah Yazdi said last year that social sciences are not just un-Islamic, but they're against Islam. He argued that social-science graduates, who he said deal with matters such as freedom and human rights, cannot be expected to have a deep belief in Islamic principles.
...After he was sacked last year, former Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki accused President Mahmud Ahmadinejad of un-Islamic behavior.
"Sacking a minister while [he is] on a mission is un-Islamic, undiplomatic, offensive, and outside the practices of politics," Mottaki was quoted as saying.

Arrested on 17 and 18 July 2010, Iman Masjedi, Amir Latifi, Mohammad Reza Gholizadeh, Ladan Mostoufi Ma’ab, Hanieh Sate Farshi, Hojat Nikoui and Sepehr Ebrahimi, all students aged from 19 to 28, were unjustly accused of anti-government propaganda, “insulting what is holy,” actions against national security “in collaboration with organizations hostile to the Revolution,” insulting the Prophet and Moharebeh (rebelling against God). Under Iran’s criminal code, all these crime are punishable by death.
A Tehran revolutionary court withdrew the charges of insulting the Prophet and Moharebeh on 16 April but heavy sentences were nonetheless handed down. Masjedi and Ebrahimi were sentenced to eight years in prison. Gholizadeh and Farshi were given seven years. Nikoui and Ma’ab got five years. And Latifi was sentenced to seven years in prison and 74 lashes.
The lawyers and families of these detainees were only recently notified of the sentences.

24 Oct 2010:
Representatives of religious and political parties on Saturday endorsed calls for declaring former president Pervez Musharraf “liable for murder” for his “unpardonable crimes against humanity” at a conference held here.
The conference, organised by the Jamoori Watan Party (JWP), directly linked the former military ruler to the killing of innocent people and the desecration of the Holy Quran in Jamia Hafsa. Representatives of the Jamaat-i-Islami, Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam (JUI-I), Majlis Wahadat Muslimeen Pakistan, Shia Ulema Council Balochistan, Tanzeem-i-Islam Pakistan, Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam-S and religious scholars took part in the conference.

be the intention of making them compatible with Islamic teachings."
Mr Hassani said Iranian universities will not be allowed to open new

Iran's
hard-line rulers accuse the West of trying to harm the Islamic state by
influencing the country's young generation with "decadent" culture.
Pointing to the enrolment of some two million out of a total of 3.5
million university students in the humanities, Iran's most powerful
figure Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called in August for modification of these
studies.
"Many disciplines in the
humanities are based on principles founded on materialism disbelieving
the divine Islamic teachings," Mr Khamenei said. "Thus such teachings will lead to the dissemination of doubt in the foundations of religious teachings."

Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani appreciated the committee’s commemoration and plans to build a monument to acknowledge the commendable efforts of Shahid Navvab Safavi, who founded the Fedayan-e Eslam group and was martyred by the Shah’s brutal regime in 1955.
“Shahid Navvab Safavi had a great prominence and we must pay attention to his life and actions and propagate them to the people,” Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani explained.
He added that Shahid Navvab Safavi is a great role model for Iranians and they should act as he did so that they too can become role models.
One of the characteristics of Shahid Navvab Safavi, who’s birth name was Sayyed Mojtaba Mir-Lohi, and the Fedayan-e Eslam group he founded, was the existence of members like Sayyed Abdol-Hoseyn Vahedi, the group’s second-in-command. It was said that he was a great speaker who attracted the admiration of many sources of emulation, including Ayatollah Mohammad-Baqir as-Sadr.
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani explained that for several years the Islamic Republic of Iran has been suffering from the pressures exerted by the oppressive enemies but the Iranian people do not have a sense of resistance and jihad like they used to. “By his resistance against the oppressor of his time, Shahid Navvab Safavi awakened the people by both armed and spiritual resistance,” he explained.
The renowned source of emulation emphasized the importance of jihad in Islam, stating that there are many narrations which explain this Islamic duty, saying: “Islam describes jihad as an honour and gives many recommendations about the jihad and narrations also state that the mujahidin [those who perform jihad] will enter paradise along with their weapons on the Day of Judgement and the angels will welcome them. For this reason, Shahid Navvab Safavi revived Islam.”

29 April 2015: President Hassan Rohani sparked the debate when he addressed police commanders in Tehran on April 25.
"Police do not have a duty to enforce Islam," he was quoted as saying by Iranian media. "Police have a single task, which is to enforce the law."
That judgement, however, was not shared by the country's highest authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In a speech posted on his website just a day after Rohani's comments, the supreme leader advised police that "your job is to serve society, the Islamic republic, and Islam's victory."
.....
Khamenei's comments were front-page news for Kayhan, which suggested that Rohani's view was in violation of Islamic teachings.
The ultra-hard-line daily argued that committing a “haram” act in private or public is considered a crime and, therefore, preventing that crime falls under the duties of law enforcement.
"Expressing these comments is wrong because our laws are nothing but Islam," said Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi. The prominent cleric said it was the duty of all citizens, police forces or otherwise, to implement Islamic laws.
He suggested that comments to the contrary could give a "green light" to the morally corrupt because it would signal to them that they can do whatever they want and the police will not interfere.
Another cleric, Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani, said he was "very worried" by Rohani's comments.
"Many young people were martyred, maimed, and taken captive, and their aim was to revive Islamic values and implement holy Islamic laws,” Golpayegani said of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani, meanwhile, blasted Rohani's remarks and noted that the constitution of the Islamic republic was based on Islamic criteria.

21 June 2015:
Dadkhoda Salari, the prosecutor general in the city of Kerman said on Friday: “Any individual who eats or drinks in public places could face a prison term of 10 days to two months and 74 lashes,” the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Another state-run news agency warned the public that special patrols have been stationed at streets and public parks in Tehran during the holy month of Ramadan to deal with those who drink, eat or smoke in public.
“The police will deal with those individuals who smoke, drink water and other liquids, eat a snack or food in public,” the state-run ISNA news agency reported.
Last year hundreds of Iranians were lashed in public under the medieval laws of the religious dictatorship which can sentence offenders to 74 lashes and two months in prison for eating during Ramadan.
At least 200 people were flogged in last year in the Iranian province of Qazvin for eating in public during Ramadan.
In 2014, Qazvin official Ismail Sadeghi-Niaraki acknowledged the scale of medieval punishments now being carried out within the regime under the rule of so-called 'moderate' president Hassan Rouhani.
He said: "Exceptional measures were taken by the judiciary in Qazvin province during the month of Ramadan to deal with those eating in public.”
"Over this period, 400 people were arrested and some were given warnings. Another 200 had their cases reviewed by the judiciary and the flogging sentence was carried out within 24 hours of their arrest."
Last year, a Christian man in Iran was sentenced to have his lips burnt with a cigarette for eating during the day in Ramadan. The savage punishment was carried out in public in the city of Kermanshah.

13 July 2015: Failure to conform to the Islamic
Republic's dress code, including wearing the mandatory black 'chador',
or veil, causes women in Iran to become sick and suffer from illnesses
in the intestines and stomach, a senior cleric of the Iranian regime has
said.
"The state should make education of the
chador mandatory right from the start, since this will allow school
pupils to grow up with modesty and they will see its effects in
society," said Seyyed Abolhassan Mahdavi, who holds the rank of
Ayatollah in the regime and sits as a member of the Assembly of Experts,
a clerical body of 88 senior mullahs who are tasked with appointing the
regime's Supreme Leader.Mahdavi, who is also the regime's Friday prayers leader in Isfahan, central Iran, and the Supreme Leader's representative in the Red Crescent, made the remarks on Monday in an interview with the state-run Fars News Agency.

[Iraqis] who took part in anti-government demonstrations in August 2015 still angrily recall the comments that Iranian officials made at the time. Hassan Firouzabadi, who was chief of general staff of the Iranian Armed Forces at the time, said that the leaders of the protests were not Muslims and that their goal was to overthrow the Muslim political parties of Iraq.

26 Oct 2015: “In today’s modern world they have created an idol stretching across the entire earth in which they live, and from morning to night they are busy worshipping this idol which they have named modernisation and civilisation however in reality only the face of the idol has been changed,” the head of the Islamic Sciences Academy in Qom, Hujjat al-Islam Mir Baqeri, said.
“In order for us to become true monotheists we must connect to the Ahl al-Bayt. True monotheism is entering the house of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and journeying in this valley of light until we reach the very source of this light.”
Hujjat al-Islam Mir Baqeri pointed to the different level of polytheism: “A monotheist is somebody who has manifested the traits and characteristics of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, and on the opposite side polytheism is in the first level idol worship, on the second level to desire from and rely upon something other than God, and on the third level of polytheism are the tyrannical leaders that call people towards the idol worship.”
“If somebody seeks the true monotheism they must perform good deeds and not associate partners to God, because the understanding of the phrase ‘There is no God but Allah’ is that we must recognise polytheism and reject it – even the hidden polytheism – which according to traditions is more difficult to discern than a black ant on a black rock on a dark night.”
Regarding the role of the Infallible Imams in true monotheism, Hujjat al-Islam Mir Baqeri stated: “Polytheism towards God most certainly begins with rejection of the Wilayah of the Infallibles, because entering into the valley of the Infallibles is the same as entering into the valley of monotheism.”
“Our existence is similar to a plant seed and the infallible Imam is similar to the clouds which bring the rain, and the sun which shines upon us, and the sky which gives us shade, and the fertile earth from which we grow; therefore if we were to follow the Imam we allow ourselves to grow and reach perfection.”

In a fatwa issued on behalf of Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the supreme Shiite religious authority in Iraq, it was said that he does not permit playing with the "Clash of Clans" video game app or selling it. In a Friday sermon on January 15, 2016, cleric Khdeir Al-Madani said, in response to a question posed: "Sayyed [Al-Sistani] does not permit playing this game or selling it." The sermon aired on the Iraqi Karbala TV.
Khdeir Al-Madani: "Karrar from Babil asks: 'Is there a problem with the game Clash (of Clans)?' Clash of Clans is a game you play on your cellphone. Sayyed (Al-Sistani) does not permit playing this game or selling it. Some people play this game, while others play it and sell it as well. Sayyed (Al-Sistani) does not permit either playing it or selling it."

853. Wearing a dress whose cloth, colour, or stitch, is not befitting to the status of a person, or is unusual for him, is haraam if it is undignified or humiliating. But if he offers namaz with such a dress, even if it is only enough to cover his private parts, his prayers will be valid.
854. If a man wears the dress of a woman, or a woman wears the dress of a man, adopting it as a usual garb, as a precaution, this is haraam. But praying in that dress, in any situation, will not invalidate namaz.

It is not permissible to bury a deceased Muslim in the graveyard of non-Muslims, except if a section of that graveyard is specifically reserved for Muslims. Similarly, no non-Muslim can be buried in the graveyard of Muslims. When it is neither possible to get a grave for a deceased Muslim in the graveyard of Muslims, nor transfer the body to a Muslim country for burial in a Muslim graveyard, that deceased Muslim may be buried in the graveyard of non-Muslims.

A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian or a Jewish woman in temporary marriage. Based on precaution, it is obligatory to refrain from marrying a non-Muslim woman in permanent marriage.A Muslim man is not allowed to marry, neither permanently nor temporarily a non-Muslim woman who is not among Ahlul Kitab. Based on obligatory precaution, a Muslim man must refrain from marrying a Zoroastrian woman, even temporarily. As for a Muslim woman, she is not allowed to marry a non-Muslim man at all.

Question: Some schools in the West make it obligatory that their male and female students learn dancing. This dancing is neither accompanied by the common song, nor is it for entertainment; it is part of the educational curriculum. So, is it harãm for the parents to allow their sons and daughters to attend such classes?
Answer: Yes, if it contravenes the religious upbringing. Rather it is, based on obligatory precaution, forbidden absolutely, if the student has reached the age of maturity — except if he has a valid reason for approving of it; for example, if he follows a mujtahid who allows it. In the latter case, nothing prevents him from allowing his child to take part in [such activity].

A female is not permitted to touch a ghayr mahram man, which is inevitable in washing and examining. The questioner should avoid contact with male patients while training as a nurse.
