Students: Responsible, Influential/ Genuine Peace Cannot Be Achieved Through False Spiritualities: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “One of the characteristics of the student generation is vitality, and this vitality must be transmitted to others. Preserving and utilizing vitality across various dimensions and realms is of great significance.”
ABWA Official Website – The ceremony marking National Student Day, specific for international students, was held on Monday morning, December 9, 2024, at the International University of AhlulBayt (a.s.), with the presence of Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly and a member of the Assembly of Experts.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Ayatollah Ramazani congratulated the students and professors of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) University on the occasion of Student Day. “In the new term, various nationalities and academic disciplines at the AhlulBayt (a.s.) University has increased. This university is one of the most successful academic institutions in the country. With the presence of excellent and distinguished professors, we hope the scientific standing of the institution will enhance day by day, placing it among the top universities in the country. Considering the unique features of the International University of AhlulBayt (a.s.), located near the holy shrine of Imam Khomeini (r.a.), we anticipate the realization of this issue.”
On the position of knowledge and scholars in Islam, he stated, “It is our honor that the first divine address to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) began with the command, “اِقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ اَلَّذِي خَلَقَ” (Read in the Name of your Lord who created.) (Quran, 96: 1) It is our honor that the Almighty God introduced Himself as the teacher, and in the Holy Quran, God swore by the pen. It is our honor that scholars and teachers hold exalted ranks. It is our honor that religion (Islam) has tasked us with building a scholarly society. Moreover, in a religious and Islamic community, it is emphasized that one must either be a scholar or a student.”
“It is our honor that the Almighty God grants authority and power to humanity through knowledge, and the value of our sublime faith is enriched by science and learning. The more knowledge increases, the stronger one’s beliefs become. The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) introduced himself as a teacher, and the pride of religious people is that all prophets were among the greatest educators in human history. They are the ones who recite divine verses to the people. Both the Holy Quran and the prophets emphasize the importance of knowledge, making them the finest educators of humanity,” continued Secretary-General AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
Speaking on the true meaning of knowledge, he emphasized, “There is a special type of knowledge in religious discourse, which is light, and one attains it based on worthiness. Knowledge is light and does not enter every heart. Therefore, a person must prepare himself to benefit from this type of knowledge.”
Highlighting that universities are centers for education and character-building, Ayatollah Ramazani added, “A student is responsible and plays a pivotal role. The sense of responsibility is crucial. In this regard, the concept of ‘graduation’ does not exist in its true sense, as humans must always strive to learn and grow. Youth is the best time to acquire knowledge, and students must cherish their youth as well as the blessings of health and security. The Islamic Republic has provided the invaluable blessing of security for international students to study in Iran so that they can return to their countries as beneficial and impactful individuals.”
Raising the question, “Who is a student?” Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “A student is responsible and belongs to a group that influences society both during their academic journey and afterward. The sense of responsibility is highly significant. Imam Khomeini (r.a.) said, ‘There are two groups in society that if are reformed, the entire society will be reformed: seminaries and universities. If these two are corrupted, they will corrupt society’.”
Addressing the students’ requirements, he remarked, “One of the characteristics of the student generation is vitality, which must be shared and maintained. Preserving and benefiting from vitality in various aspects is crucial. The most important form of vitality at universities is academic vitality. Without academic vitality, universities will not progress. In this context, spiritual and intellectual circles contribute to the flourishing of scientific potential in the youth and student generation.”
The professor of the higher levels of Islamic seminary also spoke about the conspiracies of enemies against religion, noting, “The global dominance system seeks to enslave nations, employing neo-colonial strategies to achieve its objectives. Opponents have sought to erase or diminish religion from public life, but they have failed. Religion shines brightly and must manifest itself. In the West, human-made, irreligion forms of spirituality have emerged. We must offer the authentic and genuine version of spirituality because any spirituality disconnected from absolute perfection is imperfect. Making peace with false and counterfeit spiritualities, cannot answer human needs; only “أَلاَ بِذِکْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوب” (for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction!) (Quran, 13: 28) reflects the spirituality that humanity needs.”
Concluding his remarks, Ayatollah Ramazani emphasized the collective responsibility to foster vitality and implement cultural programs at universities. He expressed hope that the AhlulBayt (a.s.) University would achieve the status of an elite institution in the country and gain an international standing while adhering to global standards.
