RNA – Delegations from the Islamic Seminary of Qom as well as Iraq’s Foreign Ministry separately met with Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Sa’id al-Hakim, an Iraqi Shi’a source of emulation in Najaf.

Addressing the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ayatollah al-Hakim asked them to convey this message to the world saying true Islam is the one practiced by Ahlul-Bayt and such Islam has nothing to do with extremism and animosity.

During his meeting with a group of clerics from the Islamic Seminary of Qom, the Iraqi source of emulation said, “Seminarians must serve the purpose of religion and the Shi’a faith; they must strongly abide by the path of truth and piety.”

“There’s a great responsibility weighing down on your shoulders; every seminary student must realize that the respect and dignity they gain in society is due to their efforts towards safeguarding religion and serving its cause,” Ayatollah Hakim added.

At the end of this meeting, Ayatollah Hakim extended his wishes for the clerics and prayed for their success.
