Sermon of Imam al-Sajjad (a) in Kufa

Socio-Political Responsibilities

In addition to spiritual exhortations, the sermon poignantly addressed the socio-political responsibilities of the ummah. Imam al-Sajjad (a) lamented the neglect and oppression palpable in the Muslim community, urging the faithful to assume their roles as active participants in shaping a just society. The call for justice resonates strongly within the Imam’s words, asserting that disengagement and complacency in the face of tyranny contravene the principles of Islam. His elucidation serves as a rallying cry for collective action against oppression, reflecting the role of Muslims as guardians of justice and morality.
