Rasa – The member of the Assembly of Experts considered the interaction of the Islamic Seminaries and Iran’s Islamic system of government as based on reality and emphasized that the Islamic Seminaries and the clergy cannot be indifferent to the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic system of government. RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Abdolnabi Namazi, a member of the Assembly of Experts, referred to the forty years of victories by the Islamic government of Iran and said, “Despite all the conspiracies by the arrogant powers against the people and government of Iran and Wilayat al-Faqih al-Mutlaqah (Absolute Guardianship of the Jurisprudent], today we are on the eve of the fortieth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and the government of the Islamic Republic.”
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom said that the source of the Islamic Revolution is the Islamic Seminaries and added, “The interaction of the clergy with the Islamic Revolution is based on reality because Imam Khomeyni, the founder of the Islamic Republic, was a product and a student of the Islamic Seminary of Qom.”
He stressed that clergy is the cause of the establishment of the Islamic Revolution such that if the clergy and sources of emulation didn’t exist, the Islamic Revolution wouldn’t have been victorious. Thus, the government and the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran were a product of the seminaries.
Ayatollah Namazi stated, “The Islamic Revolution has no more than one way to continue its path and the clergy must support and protect the Islamic system, just as they have from at the beginning of the Revolution until now, and continue this important path.”
His Eminence continued, “The clergy must continue to care, support and oversee the system and seek to address the shortcomings and problems of society.”
Referring to the emphasis of Imam Khomeyni and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] on resolving the problems of the people, he stated, “The backing of this Revolution is the people because this Revolution was completely popular and the presence of the people drove the imperial [Pahlavi] regime out of the country.”
Ayatollah Namazi said that the main cadres of the Islamic government were formed by experts from the seminaries said, “Most of the employees of the system are seminarians. Therefore, the administration of the system isn’t possible without the communication, support, and backing of the seminaries and it’s necessary to try to continue this interaction because the seminaries cannot be indifferent to the Revolution and the system.”
He described the interaction of the seminaries with the Islamic government as a necessary and vital issue and said, “The seminaries must maintain their oversight over the system and support it, and observe the guidelines of the Supreme Leader and sources of emulation in front of the officials of the system, the heads of the three branches of government.”
