RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Yousef ‎Hoseynnejad, a faculty member ‎of the Institute of Islamic Sciences, referred to the ‎emphasis of Imam Khomeyni, the late founder of the Islamic Revolution, and Ayatollah ‎Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, to Islamize the society in all ‎aspects and stated, “The requirements of social life are tendencies, insights and the ‎knowledge that are prevalent in that society, meaning the society provides an environment ‎that promotes the development of the society.”‎
‎ ‎
He argued that if there aren’t any Islamic and revolutionary tendencies in society, over time ‎society will be influenced by the Western and Eastern cultural environments and ‎revolutionaries won’t exist in society and stated, “Responsibility for the promotion of ‎revolutionary culture lies with the seminary and other academic centres.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Hoseynnejad added, “If the seminaries aren’t revolutionary, it means ‎abandoning society for the influence of the Western and Eastern cultures. For this reason, ‎the revolutionary seminaries play a decisive role in preventing the deviation of society and ‎protecting the values and ideals of the Islamic Revolution.” ‎

Pointing to the destructive effects of the capitalist system, liberal politics and culture in ‎society, His Eminence explained, “Culture and revolutionary spirit can save society from the ‎destructive effects of Western cultures.”‎

He ‎argued that the main task of the supreme seminary institutions is in the field of policy ‎and said, “Policies must be formulated based on Islamic and revolutionary principles, the use ‎of Western and Eastern patterns cannot solve the problems of the seminary.” ‎

In conclusion Hujjat al-Islam Hoseynnejad ‎said, “The seminaries are considered as be the ‎most important element in the advent of the Islamic Revolution and the founder and ‎flagbearer of the Revolution are also seminarial characters. Therefore, the separation of the ‎seminaries from the Islamic government is meaningless.” ‎
