RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Mohammad-Mahdi Mohaqqeqi, the CEO‏ ‏of Rasa News Agency, and a ‎group of managers of this seminary media‏ ‏organization met with Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem ‎Hoseyni-Bushehri for a discussion.‎

In this meeting, Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri, appreciated the activities and actions of Rasa ‎News Agency in reflecting the news and achievements of seminaries and clergy and ‎explained, “One of the problems of seminaries has long been that the message of the ‎seminaries and seminarians wasn’t well reflected, but all praise be to God, the situation is ‎different now and theological news agencies, including Rasa News Agency, have been very ‎successful and have been able to build good trust inside and outside the seminaries ‎environment and have become a source of news for those who follow the news of the ‎seminaries. Especially since in addition to sending news, content is also analyzed and ‎presented.”‎

Referring to the issue of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the duties of the seminary media ‎organizations in this field, the Friday prayer leader of Qom added, “Your presence and that ‎of other seminary media organizations in the field is an effective presence and you were able ‎to cover the work and actions of seminarians well.”‎

He described the jihadi presence of students and clerics in the fight against the Coronavirus ‎as a clear example of self-sacrifice and praised this social struggle and added, “In the case of ‎the Coronavirus, the jihadi seminarians worked hard and sacrificed. In the early days of the ‎outbreak, when even the companions of the patients were not willing to help, the jihadi ‎students of the seminaries went forth without any expectations and went to the aid of ‎doctors, medical staff and nurses.”‎

In another part of his speech, Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri called the orders and instructions ‎of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] “the bright light of ‎the movement of seminaries” and emphasized, “The decision and determination of the ‎Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminaries is that by forming committees and working ‎groups in this field, we will examine the collection of orders of the Supreme Leader, what ‎demands and guidelines have been implemented, and what orders that have not been ‎implemented. All of these orders will be implemented, and Rasa News Agency can help us in ‎this regard.” ‎

The vice president of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom also stated, “The self-‎sacrifice of the clergy during these days also made the appearance of the seminarians more ‎visible and also promoted and strengthened the social base of the clergy.”‎

It’s worth mentioning that at the beginning of the meeting, Hujjat al-Islam Mohaqqeqi ‎presented a report on the activities of Rasa News Agency.‎

He praised Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri’s foresight, interaction with the media, sympathy, ‎pursuit of solving the problems of seminarians and seriousness in pursuing macro issues of ‎the seminaries as his outstanding features and emphasized on strengthening revolutionism in ‎the seminaries and stressed, “The young and revolutionary generation of the seminaries ‎needs more attention and trust from the elders of the seminaries, especially the Supreme ‎Council of the Islamic Seminaries.”‎
