TEHRAN-- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei got a group of young girls on Friday to collectively value the Taklif Celebration.
The Taklif Celebration is held to commemorate the age at which young girls and boys matured in regards to observing religious obligations.
In Islam, this age is 9 for ladies and 15 for kids.
In the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei congratulated the young girls on their Taklif Celebration.
My dear kids! The Taklif Celebration is a real event.
It is genuinely an event.
It is truly an Eid.
Why? Due to the fact that from the moment you reach the age of being needed to perform your spiritual responsibilities, you talk with God and God talks with you.
Simply put, you are in a position where God will talk with you, He will entrust you with responsibilities, and you will carry out those obligations.
This is a valuable rank for human beings that individuals are addressed by God and God talks with them.
This is what the Taklif Celebration indicates that after this you are not a child anymore.
You are not a child, he stated, according to khamenei.ir.
The Leader included, You are now girls with obligations, and you can have an influence on your family, in your school environment, and when you are having fun with your pals.
You can show others to the straight path and guide them, which is a duty that everybody have.
A girl like you who has actually simply reached the age of observing the religious responsibilities is no various before the Almighty God than an adult lady or an elderly guy in terms of the spiritual responsibilities.
He noted, The advice I want to give you young people, my suggestions to my dear daughters, is that you end up being friends with God.
Attempt to become friends with the Merciful God from the start of your youthhood.
What is it like to be buddies with God? Among the methods of ending up being pals with God is when you are talking with God in prayer to take note of this that you are talking with God.
You are consulting with God.
Discover the significance of the words in the prayers.
Learn from your seniors and teachers the translation of Surah Al-Hamd, Surah Al-Ikhlas, and what you are saying when you are bowing and prostrating.
When you pray, hope in such a way that you are talking with God.
This is becoming buddies with God.
This is one of the ways of ending up being buddies.
Another way of becoming good friends [with God] is to be cautious to avoid the deeds that He has informed you not to do and to do the deeds that He has stated you must do.
This is the way to become friends with God.
Today, you have intense hearts.
You have shining hearts.
You have pure hearts.
End up being good friends with God from today.
