Hawzah News Agency- Shia source of emulation Grand Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli had a group meeting with professors of Qom seminary held in office on Tuesday, May 16 during which he stated,” Like some centers, the Islamic seminary sometimes has ups and downs, which the elders and professors of the seminary should beware what stage are we in and according to the time, they should advance scientific and cultural issues.”
He further added,” The seminary was sometimes at its peak and had the power to preserve the principle of religion as well as the country, and at some point, the seminary was damaged, such as during the Reza Khan era, when most of the seminaries in Iran were closed, and therefore knowing the time, for the planning of the seminary is crucial since what happens in the seminary is not separate from the general flow of the world. Perhaps no one thought that one day a group of people would burn the holy Quran and the mosque and insult the prophet of Islam (PBUH), now this dark atmosphere has polluted the entire region and one such threats is the damage done to the mosques.”
The Shia source of emulation stated,” Just as God almighty helped and managed our holy defense in the hard eight-year war against Iraq, in the soft war that is against the Islamic seminary and religion, He will surely protect the religion, but we are obliged to protect this religion carefully with greatness and with trust in divine help.”
At the end, Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli made some remarks about changing the contents of seminary books saying,” about changing the books, the seminary itself should issue a fatwa in this regard, and this matter should be done by the professors and experts of the seminary, but this classification is also necessary if Someone wishes to become a preacher or speaker which is different from someone who wants to go through the academic degrees of the seminary; But keep in mind that the Islamic seminary can be maintained with scientific cylinders, and therefore, whoever wants to be one of the pillars of the seminary, they should be fully equipped with scientific knowledge and skills.”
