RNA – A conference entitled “Development of Religious Knowledge and the Logic of ‎Understanding Religion in the Light of the Islamic Revolution” by the Political Science ‎Department and in cooperation with the Logic for the Understanding of Religion Department ‎of the Research Centre for Culture and Thought on the occasion of the conference “The Role ‎of the Islamic Revolution in the Establishment and Development of the Humanities” on ‎January 26 in Qom.‎

At the beginning of the conference, Hujjat al-Islam Dr. Hamidreza Shakerin said, “Our ‎discussion at this meeting isn’t based on the fact that we claim that before the Islamic ‎Revolution religious knowledge wasn’t available or if the Islamic Revolution didn’t occur, ‎religious knowledge wouldn’t have formed, but in our discussion, the role of the Islamic ‎Revolution in the development and expansion of religious knowledge is expressed.”‎

He stated that the Islamic Revolution is the cause of development in the field of religious ‎knowledge and stated, “The thoughts of the late Imam Khomeyni, Allamah Tabatabai, ‎Shahid al-Sadr and other scholars created a revolution in the field of Islamic thought and ‎religious knowledge that the theory of Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent] ‎and social discussions of Islam were the foundation of the emergence of the Islamic ‎Revolution, just as the Islamic Revolution was the platform for the growth and development ‎of religious knowledge. Certainly, if the Islamic Revolution didn’t occur, there would have ‎been such growth and development.”‎
