As mentioned before, Qadr Nights’ rituals are among the boldest practices in Islam. Last night, Ahmadinejad attended the ritual in a mosque in the neighborhood he used to live before moving to the presidential residence. There, he stated “Thanks to God, the [progress of the] Iranian nation is not comparable to any other nation and the glory of Iran is the result of following God and benefiting from … [Shia beliefs]“. He added, “All the troubles of the mankind, now and ever, are caused by forgetting God and departing from religion and justice”. He concluded, “Today, nations speak of Iran with respect and the name of the great nation of Iran glares in the world” [Persian]. More pictures in the photoblog.

    Najad is wearing a ring in that one picture. Is that allowed in Islam?

    No wonder the dude is whacked, he believes he can learn the Koran through osmosis.

    Chris, it’s silver, I think it’s ok. There is a hadith forbidding men from wearing gold or silk

    Layalatul Qadr as we call it here, or Shabhaye Ghadr as the Iranis say, are some of the most powerful nights in Islam. A shame many will never experience it for themselves.

    What makes me a troll? I love Islam and won’t be ashamed of it. You have the option of ignoring my comments if you wish.

    These pictures are just a mass media event that happened to be in a mosque.
