RNA – Speaking at a ceremony appointing him as the custodian of Mashhad’s Astan Quds ‎Razavi, Hujjat al-Islam Ahmad Marvi said, “By removing this responsibility from the shoulders ‎of Sayyed Reza Fatemi-Amin [deputy custodian ‎of the Astan Quds Razavi], the opportunity ‎to focus on the economic issues of the Astan Quds Razavi and to make serious ‎developments in this arena is provided to him.”‎

Referring to the necessity of providing the necessary grounds for entering the youth in the ‎field of management, he said, “According to the emphasis of the Supreme Leader of the ‎Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei], the grounds for the gaining of experience and the ‎entry of revolutionary, Hezbollahi, believers, capable and efficient youth must be ‎provided in ‎this arena.”‎

He added that although many experiences during the forty years of the Islamic Revolution ‎have proven that the evil plans of enemies against the Iranian nation will never be fruitful, ‎they must try to turn the enemies’ threats into opportunities.‎

Hujjat al-Islam Marvi ‎added, “All administrators of the Astan Quds Razavi must choose and ‎nominate two successful alternatives from among the faithful, revolutionary and efficient ‎youth, so as to educate the next generation of administrators ‎in different sectors of the ‎capacities of the youth in order to promote better affairs.”‎

His Eminence said that the emphasis of the Supreme Leader on youthfulness isn’t merely a ‎slogan put forward for the consolation of the youth but this is point a theological belief ‎derived from the forty years of revolutionary ups and downs.‎

He stated that today, the battlefield against the enemies is in the economic field and added, ‎‎“The same bold presence and influence that the valuable martyrs, sincere warriors and ‎motivated youth had during the Sacred Defence, must emerge today in the arena of ‎economic warfare.”‎

Referring to the slogan of the year [“Boosting Production”] and the highlights of the Supreme ‎Leader’s statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution, Hujjat al-Islam Marvi‎ ‎said, “We must consider ourselves as pioneers in realizing the intentions of the Supreme ‎Leader, especially in regarding to boosting production and not hesitate to spare all efforts in ‎this arena.”‎

Based on a decree released on April 4th, the Supreme Leader appointed Hujjat al-Islam Marvi ‎‎to serve as the custodian of the foundation, replacing Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Ebrahim Raeisi, ‎the current chief of the judiciary.‎

Hujjat al-Islam ‎Marvi was formerly in charge of a department at the Supreme Leader’s Office ‎responsible for contacts and communications with religious seminaries.‎
