Hawzah News Agency- Shia scholar Ayatollah Karimi Jahormi, in a meeting with the officials of the National Conference of Commemoration of Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani in Qom, expressed his happiness with the activities carried out and spoke about the importance of historical studies and researches in seminaries and added,” This is a path through which you can explain the greatness of the Shia religion and its great scholars scientifically.”

“If you can introduce the high position of Shia scholars in every era of the past ages - such as Sheikh Tousi and Mohaqeq Kirki as well as the later scholars and their method in the scientific and moral fields as well as the type of training of students and the style of guiding the society in order to reflect their achievements, it is a great service.” He added.

The professor of Qom seminary then emphasized three important harms in the presentation of history including the prevalence of some inaccuracies and mistakes in historical reports, the immature expression of some historical issues and not taking into account the requirements and needs of the society and the distortion of history.

The Shia scholar further encouraged history researchers to pay more attention to the issues of accuracy, audience measurement and recognition of the society's capacity and compliance with the requirements of the time in order to correct distortion of history and sources.

Ayatollah Karimi Jahormi added, "Seminaries and students should master historical events by careful study and know that it is not appropriate to express and write any kind of memory or event on a large scale, and these points should be expressed keeping in mind the atmosphere of the audience so as to not spread false objections against the clergy.”
