Hawzah News Agency (Tehran, Iran) - Last night at the graduation ceremony of the students of University of Islamic Denominations in Tehran, Ayatollah Araki congratulated the students on the occasion of the Unity Week as well as their graduation.

The Shia cleric praised the activities of the new management team of the university and said, "We have a precious jewel called Islam that no gem or creation in this world is sweeter, more blessed, beneficial, and valuable than this religion, its pure teachings and its holy Quran and Ahlulbayt, but because we are so close to this giving source we tend to forget its value."

In another part of his remarks, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought stated, "Today, the human society and the western civilization have reached a dead end.

The products that the Western civilization has left for the world have been several global wars, killing and bloodshed, which are still ongoing in different places of the world with their support and conspiracy."
