 Message from the Dean of MIU Ayatollah A’rafi, for the New Year of Education
In the name of Allah the beneficent the merciful The season of education and self-cleanse is superior among all other times of man’s life. Although all eras in life are opportunities for moral and scientific growth, the adolescence and youth period is an exceptional and unique time. Thus, man must value this period and understand it and exploit it the best possible way through smart decisions and choices and learn the way to perfection and completion. The academic year 2015-2016 is starting while today’s world is in need of divine Qu’ranic and Islamic teachings more than ever, since man and the society are on a historical turn to distinguish between guidance or mislead for their ascent or descent through deciding between evil and good, right and wrong. The Islamic society and the Muslims are also facing their destiny as they must choose between the pure Muhammadi Islam founded upon justice, wisdom, spirituality, resisting the oppression of the oppressor, kindness and benevolence towards one another according to the criterions mentioned in the Holy Quran: “Hard against the disbelievers but merciful one to another” [Quran, 48 : 29] and the American Islam which is shaped as Takfiri movement, Talibani Islam, AlQaedah, Boko Haram, ISIS, and the most modern of which is the Secular and liberal Islam. To make the right decision, the intellectuals need to be enlightened and scholars and intellectuals must initiate movements which will create an important mission for the scientific and intellectual centre and Islamic seminaries. Al-Mustafa International University is proud to endeavor towards the great benefits and perfection of Islamic nation and go beyond perverted, eclectic and divisive dialogues and train virtuous and focused scholars and create a lifesaving and progressive and “generator of unity” way of thinking. For this purpose, I would like to remind the great scholars, lecturers and students of several points: 1-“Revival of the Islamic civilization” must be placed as the priority plan of AL-Mustafa as it is the grand aim and Islamic revolution dialogue. 2- The main way forward of Al-Mustafa must be “logical discourse” and resistance before the oppressors and adopted by all Muslims and the followers of divine religions and justice and right seekers. 3- We must all work hard to apprehend and display a true understanding of divine teachings. The true understanding of Qur’anic and Ahl-ul-Bayt teachings is the only way to avoid the fake Islam and Takfiri movements. 4- In All fields and scopes, the strategic thinking must be based on comprehensive and balanced training in order to stay away from innovative renovation and produce and support devout rationality and rational devoutness and train virtuous scholars, Mystic Philosophers (‘Arif), vigilant heroes to enter the global society. 5- The seminary traditions in the fields of: education, research, moral and training and all fields of management and structures and ethos and lifestyle must be honoured in such a way the makes Al-Mustafa shine more than even as an exemplar global and international seminary. 6- Establishing an identity all over the world for Seminary and its student is a strategic duty of Al-Mustafa and every one must prepare the scientific and practical backgrounds for this purpose. 7- The other point that I would like to bring to attention is willingness to accept responsibility by students and local staff and development of scientific centers and accomplishment of ratified plans and call unanimity and agreement as a success key for this purpose. 8- All must bear in mind quality improvement in all areas and magazines and fields and accomplishing all the standards and criterions in Al-Mustafa and move towards making Al-Mustafa the scientific resource in the Islamic world and even higher scale. Undoubtedly, achieving this goal requires establishment of certain plans and policies and extra effort by principles, lecturers, the learned and the students of Al-Mustafa.Therefore, all the effort must be put towards making Al-Mustafa the reference point for understanding and comprehending the Pure Islam and experience of the contemporary Islamic politics, Philosophy and Islamic lifestyle. The scientific conferences and researches are one of the routes to this goal that must be placed on the action plan. In final, I would like to congratulate all the students, learned scholars, respected lecturers and all those in charge of this knowledge and religious caravan inside and outside, on the upcoming of the study and soul cleansing season which is full of gifts and ask Allah (S.W.T) for prosperity and opportunities for all and hold in high regards the effort and hard work of all.
