The excellent Jaafari Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan, saw in the Christmas message that “With the birth of Christ, eternity sealed the treasury of the kingdom, and the water floated, and the soul gathered in the purified niche of Mary to show herself the greatest newborn, and here Christmas passes between Galilee and Qana to wander above the songs of our anguish.” Amid groans crowded with hope and heartbreak parallel to the worst catastrophe grinding the cave of Lebanon and its people who are buried in sorrow buried under the ruins of the Temple, and the eye is on the palm of a sun who sympathizes with this country crucified above the table of estrangement and internationalization.
And he said: “Therefore, close to the first initiation of the Master of Light and the Word, I appeal to spiritual and political leaders to say: the people are breathing, the state is under threat, the regional and international game is investing in estrangement and destruction, and the political, media and sectarian charge inflames spirits, and the barricades are a moment, and the fire is a gash, and Lebanon is God’s trust, and what is needed is to help it quickly through “dialogue and convergence”, and the government The national constitutional institution authorized to lead this rescue is the House of Representatives. What is required of church and mosque and spiritual and political leaders is to raise a national spiritual cry for dialogue away from the international game. And divine rules mean that we to be a national family away from the bazaar of the world.
Kabalan addressed the “spiritual and political leaders saying:” Those who believe in Christ and Mohammed believe in dialogue and convergence to save our country, our people and our state project, which is dying. And let everyone know that this country can only live on common interests. What is needed is an agreement on a president of common interests to save this country from the worst dilemma in its history. And from the specter of Christ I say: no to sectarianism, not to alienation, not to extremism, not to internationalization, not to subordination, not to waiting, not to obstruction, not to exhausting this country, not to cartels who are pressing with all their arsenal to blow up the Lebanon formula or surrender. What is required is that we negotiate with ourselves, not with each other, and relying on international agreements means putting the country on the edge of a knife, and national peace begins with our belief that we are one people, and the expulsion is a prize from Satan, and above all, according to the commandments of Christ and Muhammad, save Lebanon from the game of division, division, enmity and cantons, and be ashamed of sin Patriotism, and whoever believes in Christ and Muhammad believes in national dialogue as exclusive way to save Lebanon”.
And he concluded: “All congratulations to the Christian and Muslim brothers on Christmas and the good news of heaven, and there is no salvation except with the love and love of God, which unites all sects of Lebanon” .
