Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi's fatwa against Iran's enemies sparks debates among Muslims. What implications might this have for the future of Islam and Iranian politics?
Iranian Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has issued a fatwa against Iran's enemies, classifying them as enemies of God or Moharebeh, and urging Muslims worldwide to take legal action against them. This controversial ruling has sparked debates among Muslims regarding the interpretation of Moharebeh and its implications.
The classification of enemies of God is not new in Islamic history. Numerous scholars have wielded this doctrine as a weapon against religious and political opponents. Makarem Shirazi's fatwa, which has been interpreted as a direct response to President Trump, Netanyahu, and Iranian opposition groups, is expected to gain widespread attention and spark further controversy.
The question is, how relevant is this doctrine in the 21st century, where secular governments and pluralistic societies dominate the Muslim world? How will this fatwa impact Iran's politics and the wider Muslim community?
Only time will tell whether this fatwa will influence Muslims worldwide and shape the politics of Iran's enemies. Nevertheless, it has already sparked crucial discussions on the application of religious doctrines in modern-day politics.
