The New Battlefield Is the Mind: Grand Ayatollah Charges Seminary with Defending Cultural Sovereignty

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani has issued a powerful call to the teaching body of Iran's Islamic seminaries, declaring that defending the intellectual and cultural security of the people and infusing society with the spirit of epic resistance and hope stand as their most urgent mission in today's critical juncture.

Hawzah News Agency- The revered source of emulation made the remarks in a message addressed to the Assembly of High-Level and Advanced Professors of the Qom Seminary, convened under the banner "The Seminary, the Raised Ummah, Allegiance to Wilayah."

The full text of the senior cleric's message is as follows:

"In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. I extend my condolences on the martyrdom anniversary of our master Imam Baqir al-Uloom (peace be upon him) and offer my salutations to you, esteemed professors and honorable scholars, at this majestic gathering. I honor your assembly and your collective struggle in the path of pristine Muhammadan Islam."

Unity, the Engine of the Islamic System's Advance

Grand Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani anchored his message in the Quranic doctrine of unity and rising for the sake of God, citing divine injunctions such as "hold fast together," "cooperate," "make peace," "He brought their hearts together," "one single Ummah," "a middle Ummah," "the Party of God," "the Soldiers of God," and "brotherhood."

"This gathering, by clinging to these profound Quranic themes, has forged a unity aimed at realizing the objectives of the Islamic System," he stated. "What drives the Islamic System toward the successful achievement of its goals and programs is precisely this unity, solidarity, and coordination centered on the axis of Wilayat al-Faqih."

The Nation Marches Toward the Peaks of Power

The Grand Ayatollah underscored that the Iranian people and officials are advancing in an unprecedented state of cohesion under the guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mujtaba Khamenei.

"Today, the raised people and the officials of the Islamic System, in unparalleled unity and solidarity, and in obedience to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, are marching toward the peaks of authority, and your esteemed gathering plays a tremendous role in fortifying and consolidating this movement," he declared.

Professors as Guardians of Cultural Security

While commending the professors for their relentless struggle across scientific, cultural, and social arenas, Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani zeroed in on their defining responsibility at this historical crossroads.

"Your presence among the people, safeguarding their intellectual and cultural security, and injecting among them the spirit of epic action and hope, stands as the top priority of your esteemed organization," the Grand Ayatollah emphasized. "I pray to God Almighty for your success in this mission."

He further called on the seminary professors to pursue religious values to build a faithful, united, strong, and resilient society; to play an active role in domestic and global transformations; and to exert all-out, serious effort to expand the discourse of the revolutionary seminary.
