The representative of the Supreme Religious Authority has revealed during the Friday prayer sermon held at the Holy Shrine of Al-Imam Al-Hussein "pbuh" the reasons that led to the backwardness of Iraqi society compared to other societies.
Sheikh Abdul-Mahdi Al-Karbala'i said on Friday December 21, 2018, that "Some societies, including our society, are suffering today from the preference of self-interests over the public interests in many matters of life, including the infringement of property and public funds, negligence in professional and career performance and the prioritizing of partisan and nationalism interests over public interests and the spread of tribal, national, partisan and religious intolerance over national affiliation. "
Al-Karbala'I added that "This matter has caused people to suffer a lot of crises and underdevelopment, as well as the backwardness of the country and the society behind other societies."
