For thousands of years, the ulama have preserved the concepts of the Quran and passed them on to us. This mission is the responsibility of seminaries,” said the secretary of the Scientific Conference Umana al-Rosol.
“Among the topics that ulama and Islamic experts should discuss are issues related to the family, the role of women and mothers, Islamic lifestyle, Islamic civilization, the gap between generations, human rights, social justice from the point of view of Islam, examples of oppression, governance in Islam, and Velayat-e Faqih,” he added.
