The Secretary-General of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly stated that youth is an excellent opportunity for prayer and supplication and communion with God, adding that cultivating student ethics and manners is very important in universities.

According to a reporter from Mehr News Agency, Hojjat al-Islam and al-Muslimin Ramazani, Secretary-General of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly, during a celebration of the holy month of Sha'ban at the Ahlul Bayt University, stated: Rajab, Sha'ban, and Ramadan are months of self-cultivation, intellect, and body.

He added: If the soul is well-trained, a person becomes the owner of moral virtues and perfections, and if the intellect is properly trained, a person becomes the owner of perception and understanding; the more precise and profound a person's understanding, the higher their position will be.

Part of perfection relates to understanding and comprehension.

Ramazani, emphasizing that humans should train their bodies, said: All limbs and senses should be trained, and it is through this training that a person feels obligated to perform certain manners. In the sermon of the pious, it is mentioned that a true person tells the truth and does not lie.

God loves truthfulness, and a believer prefers truthfulness to everything. When a believer seeks to please God, they know that God loves truthfulness, and therefore they are always on this path.

The Secretary-General of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly continued: Regarding the human ear, a believer listens to whatever is beneficial and advantageous to them, such as hearing advice; and in walking, they take modest steps and have moderate and wise behavior.

All of these things cause a person's perfections to increase.

Referring to a statement by the late Ayatollah Tabatabai regarding the Supplication of Sha'ban, Ramazani said: The prayers that have reached us from the Ahlul Bayt are called the "support of the Quran." The late Allama Tabatabai said that one of the most beautiful prayers is the Supplication of Sha'ban, in which it is stated: "O God, if You take me by my sin, take me by Your forgiveness, and if You take me by my sins, take me by Your forgiveness..."

In another part of the prayer, it is stated: "When I look at my sins, I want to flee from myself, and when I look at Your generosity and greatness, I only see Your forgiveness."

Ramazani stated: Among the students of the university, there are people with beautiful voices who could recite the Supplication of Sha'ban once a week in the presence of the students. The words and meanings of these prayers and supplications are very beautiful.

Youth is an excellent opportunity for prayer and supplication and communion with God.

The Secretary-General of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly further emphasized the importance of cultivating student ethics and manners in universities, saying: We must first know ourselves. A person must have a high value and position for themselves and know that their position is high and should not belittle themselves.

He said: We must establish a correct relationship with ourselves and have a correct view of ourselves. We must see ourselves and our being beautiful and positive, and have a precise, meaningful, positive, and deep view of ourselves, because God has created us as a meaningful phenomenon.
