RNA - Ayatollah Jawadi Amuli in a meeting with top with Hawza officials emphasised that the glory and might of the Islamic Republic is indebted to the scholars and religious seminaries.

He stated: "Today, the Holy Islamic Government of Iran has a very lofty station because of the blessed presence of the religious scholars and seminaries."

Ayatollah Jawadi Amoli referred to the current situation of the region being in a continued state of instability to contrast the security and peace found within Iran.

He said: "Unfortunately all of the countries surrounding [Iran] have turned into US military bases... Amongst all this instability and insecurity, the Islamic Republic of Iran is a strong and secure country and this security must be preserved."

The reason for this stability, according to Ayatollah Jawadi Amuli, is the fact that Iran is protected and preserved by the light of the Quran and the Progeny of the Holy Prophet.

Ayatollah Jawadi further stated that "our relationship with the Quran and the Holy Progeny must also be preserved."

The grand scholar and teacher of the Hawza further alluded to the Islamic Seminary, stating that scholars must be aware of the current situation and take advantage of this opportunity to educate people and stay away from wasteful endeavours.

He emphasized that a scholar must have decent knowledge of all religious sciences in order to have the ability to address the problems of individuals and society.

He further stated that along the study of religious sciences, one must have a program in place for spiritual growth.

He stated that both an external knowledge in relation to religious sciences is needed, as well as an internal knowledge or purification in order for a person to grow and gain immunity from misguidance or error.
