Basiji professors and elites of Tehran seminary met Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani in his office as the last part of the first two-day training course in Mashhad.

As reported by public relations of Xorasan seminary, seminarian basiji professors and elites taking part in the first Tehran seminary’s basiji pedagogical course held in hotel Mohammad Rasul-Allah in Mashhad, as the last part of this course met Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani in his office.

In the beginning, Hojjatul Islam wal Muslimeen Kazem Sediqi, temporary Friday prayer leader of Tehran, expressing his contentment of such a meeting being held, told Ayatollah Gorgani: the presence of maraje taqlid in the summer in Mashhad is one of the special hospitalities of Imam Reza (as), and, regarding this, we came to meet you with basiji professors and elites of Tehran seminary.

He said a number of clergymen have joined basiji professors and elites of Tehran seminary just to swear allegiance to Imam of the Age, may Almighty Allah hasten his reappearance, and his deputy, resweare allegiance to Islamic revolution ideals, express aliveness and mobility, resist aberrance and arrogance, and avoid ignorance and neglectfulness. He affirmed: thanks to God, awakened, insightful, luminary, Self-sacrificing clergymen have volunteered as a basiji union to protect the boundaries of the right and the reality.

The temporary Friday prayer leader of Tehran continued: in fact, against implementation of western thoughts in the country, leaving the ground to nonbeliever teachers and full support of Wahhabism and atheist movements, someone should awake and use his insights to be the front man for the truth and the expressive voice of Islam and assist Ahl-al-Beyt (as) in defending the right and the reality.

After that, Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani in addition to thanking the members of Basij of professors, students and clergymen of seminaries in the country, pointed the holy verse (يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَات) meaning “Allah will raise up in ranks those who believed among you and those who have been given knowledge” and said: in this holy verse, god has separated clergymen and great adepts in Islamic studies from the rest of the believers and considering the word “ranks”, it is clear that there are different ranks in this respect.

The great professor of Dars-e-Xarej in Qom seminary added: considering this holy verse, it gets obvious that the position of religious figures has different rankings and these ranks depend on the level of accomplishments of that clergyman and Mojtahed.

He said God ranks everyone based on his level of knowledge and taqwa. He also said: consequently, if clergymen know how valuable they are and try in this regard, God has good news for them and it is that they will be adepts of his religion.

Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani wished increasing success for the attendees and said: the deceased Imam always encouraged students to say the Tuesday prayer since this prayer mentions the position of God’s saints and Hezbollah and says: «لا خوف علیهم و لا هم یحزنون» (there shall be neither fear nor sorrow upon the guided by Allah).

The great professor of Dars-e-Xarej in Qom seminary said that inshallah exalted God will save this regime with his own guardianship and added: We hope exalted God will consider a well ending for those in the holy aba.

It is worth noting that after this meeting, the students attending the first Tehran seminary’s basiji professors and elites pedagogical course went on pilgrimage to the holy shrine of the eighth Imam (as).
