The representative of Mazandaran in the Assembly of Experts cautioned that stated that if we ignore the increasing level of revolutionism among seminarians today, we will be regretful over the future and the next generation of seminarians. RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Sayyed Rahim Tavakkol, the representative of the people of Mazandaran province in the Assembly of Experts, referred to the characteristics of the revolutionary Islamic Seminaries and emphasized upon the necessity for seminarians to pay attention to the thought of Imam Khomeyni and Ayatollah Khamenei in the field of revolutionary activity and said, “The late Imam Khomeyni created a kind of insight and awareness among all groups of people of society by laying the foundations of the Islamic Revolution.”
The teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom said that “insight” must be the criterion for all our actions and said, “The meaning of the ‘revolutionary seminary’ is to pay attention to the lines and policies of Imam Khomeyni and find the axis and direction from his speech and actions and move in the same direction.”
He noted that the behaviour of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] is entirely based on the characteristics of the revolutionary seminary and said, “Just like Imam Khomeyni, he always tries to increase insight in society because if there is no insight, we will lose the true path.”
Ayatollah Tavakkol insisted on that seminary which is called a revolutionary seminary is one which is insightful and stated, “A revolutionary seminary is one which correctly recognizes right and wrong, distinguishes from each other them well, helps the truth and fights wrongdoing.”
His Eminence stated that the Islamic Seminaries of Qom are revolutionary but their level of revolutionism isn’t ideal and noted, “For this reason, we must try to increase the level of revolutionism in the Islamic Seminaries of Qom and the Islamic Seminaries of Qom themselves must strive to increase their level of revolutionism. If the Islamic Seminaries are on the path of discernment and awareness, everything it does will be revolutionary.”
He stated that if we ignore the increasing level of revolutionism among seminarians today, we will be regretful over the future and the next generation of seminarians and added, “If we try to educate the seminarians in a revolutionary manner today, we will no doubt be proud of seeing the revolutionary seminarians tomorrow.”
Ayatollah Tavakkol stressed that the revolutionary movement in the Islamic Seminaries started from the beginning of the movement of Imam Khomeyni and stated, “Today, the Islamic Seminaries are on the path of revolutionism but they still haven’t reached the ideal level from view of the Supreme Leader.”
He said that in order to increase their level of insight and revolutionism, seminarians must pay more attention to the words of the Supreme Leader and stated, “The Supreme Leader is an awakened and time-conscious individual and with his insightful words, he has revealed to us the plots of the influencers. He provides us with revolutionary standards and therefore, if we focus our work on his words, we will certainly not regret it.”
