Scientific Advance is the Best Way to Promote Islam

He called for promotion of Iran\'s scientific advances in a way that anti religious propagandas are foiled. He said scientific promotions as a way to promote Islam and a symbol that Islam motivates scientific advancement.

The Grand Ayatollah referred to the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the advances made in the post revolution era, expressing regret that the developments in cultural aspect have not been satisfactory.

He considered seminary and university as two centers which play an important role in solving the cultural problem of the country.

\"Enemies, due to the high expense of military attacks, have focused on cultural invasion and ruining the minds of the youths,\" said Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi and called for formation of three groups to work on lesson plans, materials and also professors.

He quoted Islamic motto that science is an ever target of search for a Muslim and it has to be learnt no matter where it is.

\"Sciences have to be learnt by Muslims before it is adjusted with Islamic values, then a monotheistic observation of science will be plausible,\" added the Grand Ayatollah.

He referred to the Islamic supplication that any moment should be a moment of development and said, \"Once seminaries and universities carry out their mission, the Islamic Revolution would take a giant stride.\"

He quoted a Hadith by the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (AS), saying the positive outcomes for three good deeds never end – firstly, giving charity, then raising good children and finally learning and leaving science for the descendants.
