Ayatollah Khosroshahi’s criticisms, sympathetic, benevolent: Ayatollah Mobaleghi
The professor of the higher levels of the seminary of Qom said, “Ayatollah Khosroshahi’s analyzing power of the problems of the Islamic world was dynamic and up to date. Therefore, he had plans, and his critiques were sympathetic.”
To commemorate the second anniversary of the demise of Ayatollah Sayed Hadi Khosroshahi, the webinar “Man of Approximation Square” was held on Sunday evening, February 20, 2022, by the Office for Iran Affairs of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, in cooperation with the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly and similar institutions.
In this webinar, Ayatollah Ahmad Mobaleghi, professor of higher levels of the seminary of Qom, said, “Ayatollah Khosroshahi had special characteristics in proximity (between Sunnis and Shiites). In order to reform the Islamic society, this figure was associated with figures who followed the proximity in other countries, such as Egypt and Pakistan, and the Arab countries, and so on. His association with pro-proximity figures began years before the Islamic Revolution and continued until his death.”
“After the Islamic Revolution, when the view of Islamic unity became more formal, social, and international, his efforts became more and more extensive, and he set a pro-proximity thoughts and ideas. This is one of his most important characteristics. He was also a writer, and his writing style was focused on uniting the Islamic world and solving problems,” he added.
“In his studies, he focused on the thought of Sayed Jamal al-Din Asadabadi and in the light of these thoughts, he studied the past, present and future simultaneously. The ideas he presented were rooted in his historical studies and the experiences of people like Sayed Jamal al-Din. Therefore, his speech had a special taste and his efforts for approximation were dynamic and vivid,” stated Ayatollah Mobaleghi.
“He was a critic and one of his characteristics was dynamic criticism. One may have had an idea ten years ago and still express the same idea without considering the conditions of time and place. But the late Khosroshahi paid special attention to the current situation and the requirements of the time. Because approximation has no original validity unless it can play a role, and this role will be manifested if people understand what is going on and happening around them,” said the professor of the higher levels of the seminary.
Ayatollah Khosroshahi’s analyzing power of the problems of the Islamic world was dynamic and up to date. Therefore, he had plans, and his critiques were sympathetic, not bitter, and out of desperation. His critiques are enjoyable. On the other hand, in addition to pursuing approximation (between Islamic religions), he studied the works of scientific and philosophical figures. This introduced him to the theoretical foundations of others, and he was able to harmonize ideas,” he added.
“He was truly an unassuming, humble and modest person, with experience and high writing power, with positive and active views on the Islamic Revolution and Islamic unity. He knew the figures of the Islamic world well and interacted with them. He was honest and many people always asked for his advice,” Ayatollah Mobaleghi stated.
“He passed away very sadly. This shows how selfless he was and how hard he tried with humbleness. In the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, people really learned the lesson of approximation from him and his unpretentiousness. Where someone might not be present due to the difficulty of the condition, he would be present,” he stated.
“He had valuable memories of his association with scientific, cultural, and pro-proximity figures in the Islamic world that we may not see elsewhere,” said the professor of the higher levels of the seminary.
