Meeting of the Council Members and the Staff of the International Congress of Sayyid Murtada with the Supreme Leader of the Country
The council members and the staff of the International Congress of Sayyid Murtada visited the supreme leader on Monday, sixteenth of November ۲۰۱۵.
In this meeting, the leader emphasized the importance of Sayyid Murtada’s character among the Moslem scholars, especially among the Shiite ones. He said: “the importance of this congress is that Sayyid Murtada is one of the outstanding figures in the history of Islam, rather than just in the history of Shiism. When we talk about the noble Islamic characters, in fact we describe the Islamic education. Talking and writing about such characters like Sayyid Murtada will contribute to the development of Islamic knowledge and seminaries.”
His majesty further explained about the importance of holding the international congress of Sayyid Murtada and also the expectations from this congress, by adding that “the revival of the works of these great scholars is a necessary and valuable endeavor. We do not want that just the birth and decease of a character be studied; rather their characters and thoughts need to be analyzed both historically and also in terms of the origins of various sciences mentioned in the works of these individuals.”
