Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – Speaking at the 6th session of the Meeting for Provincial Directors of Iranian Seminaries which was held in Qom, Iran on Tuesday, February 21, Ayatollah Hashem Husseini Bushehri, a senior Shia scholar remarked, “Prior to the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, there were only a few seminaries for women in Iran, but now the women's Islamic seminaries are progressing hand in hand with the men's seminaries; as there are currently about 500 Islamic seminaries for women throughout Iran.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Bushehri asserted that Muslim clerics have broken down the enemies’ domination; “There has never been a time throughout history that Muslim clerics, especially Shia scholars, have had such a great authority in the world; as a matter of fact, the enemies’ threats towards Muslim scholars proves that they are intimidated by Shia clerics’ authority,” Hawzah News quoted him as saying.
“It should not be overlooked that our enemies have advanced much compared to the past and that makes our responsibility even heavier than before as we must stay more vigilant in the face of our adversaries’ plots and threats.” Ayatollah Husseini Bushehri concluded.
