Hujjat al-Islam Madani said, “The person who feels that he understands everything well, even if he also consults, this understanding will be superficial and he won’t believe in using the results.” RNA – Speaking at a meeting of the administrative council of Qom’s al-Zahra University, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Mahmoud Madani, the dean of this seminary for women, referred to the importance of consultation and foresight in matters and stated in this regard, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib said, “He who involves himself in matters without considering the consequences exposes himself to troubles.” (1)
The teacher of ethics in the Islamic Seminary of Qom added “The administrative council at al-Zahra University and specialized councils have been established with the same purpose to consult, discuss and deliberate on various issues.”
Hujjat al-Islam Madani considered appropriate planning of affairs to be the result of foresight, consultation and deliberate and said, “The basis and background of the belief in consultation is that man must accuse his own soul. The person who feels that he understands everything well, even if he also consults, this understanding will be superficial and he won’t believe in using the results.”
He described extreme optimism in himself as blocking the path of perfection and progress and described constantly reminding oneself in this regard as key and said, “The Prophet of Islam [Muhammad] is the first person in the universe who always whispered this supplication: ‘Oh God, don’t leave me in the hands of my ego for even a split second’ (2) and this indicates the importance of this subject.”
