Rasa News Agency reports – Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Alamolhoda has presided over the inauguration ceremony of the Centre for the Mobilization of Professors and Elite of the Islamic Seminary. He gave a lecture to the people gathered about the attempts by the enemies to destroy the Islamic Seminary and its power in Iranian and Islamic societies.

“In the narrations from Imam Ali (A) strategic points have been shown from the characteristics of revelation. Imam Ali (A) has explained that three factors are necessary that man should understand. Man needs to understand their origin, their destination and their current situation. Emphasis is placed on understanding their current situation,” he explained.

The representative for Mashhad in the Assembly of Experts has said that in the past the religion of Islam was confined to the four walls of mosques and husayniyahs but since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Islam has been brought out of these confines and has entered the international arenas and has disrupted all the enemies conspiracies.

The Friday prayer leader of Mashhad said that in the present era, the Islamic seminaries and the clergy are regarded as the sources of the Islamic Revolution by all scholars. The enemies have been frustrated in their attempts to subvert the Islamic Revolution by force. It has been 35 years since the Islamic Revolution occurred and they have not had any success despite their numerous attempts and attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran. They have not been able to stop the course of the revolution. These attempts at subterfuge have made the Islamic Revolution stronger than ever.

Ayatollah Alamolhoda stated that the countries of “international arrogance” are seeking to undermine the Islamic system through the Islamic seminaries, stating: “Today, the grandeur of the seminary and the clergy are the focus of their attempts to spread deception of various dimensions throughout the every corner of the world.”

His Eminence warned that the streams of intellectualism and fanaticism are both present in the seminaries. “The enemies want to control both of these streams. They want to target the origins of the Islamic Revolution. They want the youth to follow the path of fanaticism rather than the traditional path of intellectualism. However, their plans have failed to bear fruit because the power of the youth in the seminaries has been a ‘spiritual epic’ wherein anti-religious influences have no effect,” he explained.

He stated that in the traditional areas of the seminary, there are also elements that underpin the Islamic Revolution and the foundations of this movement. With the guidance of the late Imam Khomeini (RA), the seminary prospered and sought to maintain the revolution in Shi’ite society. At the same time, the enemies have found this to be a double-edged sword which requires the seminaries to prepare the seminarians to be able to defend themselves against the enemies. Ayatollah Alamolhoda explained that we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in the seminaries as the seminarians are awakening to the dangers facing them and are clearing the seminaries of all deviations that have entered it in recent times.
