The director of the Islamic Seminaries for Women Throughout Iran said, “Certainly, all of us agree that one of the main strategies of the enemies to extinguish the lamp and the blazing torch of Islam is to use and take advantage of women.” RNA – The first meeting of the leaders of the Islamic Seminaries for Women with officials from the Basij Force and clerics of the country was held today at the Centre for the Management of the Islamic Seminaries for Women on November 11th.
Hujjat al-Islam Abdolkarim Bahjatpour, the director of the Islamic Seminaries for Women Throughout Iran, offered his congratulations on the occasion of Islamic Unity Week and said, “In the current era, there are evil hands who are not interested in us unless they can rule over us and thus, they are trying to divide Shi’ahs and Sunnis.”
The scholar and researcher of Quranic Sciences said, “Certainly, all of us agree that one of the main strategies of the enemies to extinguish the lamp and the blazing torch of Islam is to use and take advantage of women. Nothing can ever kill the warrior spirit in the country and nothing can extinguish the striving of the men on the battlefield.”
Noting that some people don’t take the position of women seriously, he said, “Those who fail to understand the role of women in reforming society and corruption and see them as mere playthings for speaking in the social area will certainly fail. Therefore, this element must certainly be brought to the fore.”
Emphasizing that the enemies seek to use the great capacity of women to harm Islam, Hujjat al-Islam Bahjatpour said, “The enemies are aware of the passion of their emotions, sensitivities and management and they precisely plot and plan from the point that women can grow and enlarge their great personalities.”
His Eminence added, “In the Islamic holy system, competent and worthy women definitely must come to the fore. In this arena, art can provide a good opportunity for the social presence of women, however to the level which Islam permits and by observing all due respect and boundaries, these must be properly protected.”
In other remarks, he added, “In regard to the Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution, whatever the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] said regarding the harms of the first phase, a large part of it was that we didn’t understand the capacities of religion well and when we didn’t bring them to the fore. Whenever we didn’t achieve our goals to the expected level, there was a place where we could not have been able to use the religious motives to make society move.”
Hujjat al-Islam Bahjatpour said, “We had a lot of problems in the first forty years of the Islamic Revolution and for this reason, we were weak in achieving our goals to the expected level but we've made great progress despite sacrificing our lives and property for the Islamic system.”
