Rasa – The jurisprudent member of the Guardian Council called the protection of the Islamic Revolution a universal duty and said, “If the Islamic Revolution is damaged, Islam and the Islamic Seminaries will suffer heavy damage and the enemies will no longer give respite.” RNA – Speaking during his ethics class in Qom’s Grand Mosque, Ayatollah Mohammad-Mahdi Shabzendehdar, a jurisprudent member of the Guardian Council, referred to excerpts from the supplication Makarim al-Akhlaq and said, “The world is a confrontational place and when a person becomes occupied in an issue, inevitably, he remains open to addressing other matters.”
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom added, “One of the obstacles in the pursuit of knowledge is the desire to live and earn money. Many people have to work for a small amount of welfare and livelihood needs that are overshadowed by activities. Man must manage his affairs on the basis of the importance of actions and when an important issue is targeted, they must avoid aggravating it as much as possible.”
Ayatollah Shabzendehdar argued that sometimes talented forces have a bright future for various works in the Islamic Seminaries, said, “There are many talented people in the seminaries but many talented individuals have become busy with other things.”
His Eminence said, “If a person is serious about his purpose and his job, and he seeks help from God Almighty, the means will surely be provided to him. Everyone has duties that he must perform properly, because if divine obligations are to remain on earth, we will be questioned.”
He noted, “If the collective obligation of ijtihad is to remain, they will ask us, the divine revolution is carried out. If, God forbid, it’s destroyed and the tyrants dominate again, Islam and the seminaries will be severely damaged and the enemies will no longer give respite.”
Ayatollah Shabzendehdar considered the maintenance of the Islamic system and the Islamic Revolution as a universal duty and added, “We can protect the Revolution when we have well-educated scholars and clerics and that the seminaries must meet the needs of the Islamic system of government.”
