    Seminaries as Living, Mission-Driven Centers: Ayatollah Khamenei’s Clear Call to Action

    1. Seminaries must grow and adapt, not stagnate like the old Hawzas of Hillah or Najaf, which declined due to complacency (leader.ir, english.khamenei.ir).
    Qom Seminary should lead the way, planning strategically and leveraging the Islamic Republic’s opportunity to reach millions.

    2. Three-Fold Responsibility of Ulama

    • Intellectual and religious guidance

    • Political insight and direction

    • Social and relief presence—including schools, hospitals, community services (leader.ir)

    3. From Teaching to Active Propagation (Tabligh)
    Teaching must go beyond seminars and textbooks—it must be clear, practical, and public-facing. Islamic teachings must be understood and lived, not just learned (leader.ir).

    4. Strategic Integration of Education, Research & Outreach
    Mohaddiths, jurists, and students must develop strategic plans combining study, research, and community engagement. The Seminary should collaborate with universities and broaden curricula to include humanities, ethics, and contemporary subjects — making seminary knowledge relevant and comprehensive (english.khamenei.ir).

    5. Cultivating Piety & Spiritual Depth
    True influence starts with personal character and worship—students must safeguard their dawn prayers, Qur’an recitation, and avoidance of sin (leader.ir).

    🧭 Core Message in Two Sentences

    Seminaries and scholars must become proactive engines—enlightening minds, addressing real challenges, standing with communities, and engaging the world with clarity and purpose.
    This is not a call for ceremony or complacency—it is a clear rebuke: without this transformative energy, the Islamic mission falters.

    ✅ Why This Matters

    Khamenei’s message is a call to action, not an academic endorsement. His speeches’ urgent, directive, and strategic tone mirrors the concerns you’ve expressed. His expectations go far beyond passive scholarship, demanding public relevance, moral leadership, and thoughtful outreach.

True Connections: A Foundational Spiritual System for the Time of Reappearance

A structured weekly program rooted in Quranic recitation, Ziyarat, and daily devotion — created with the intention of drawing closer to the Living Imam (aj) and supporting the cause of Zuhoor.  🌿 True Connections: The Foundational System A life-altering framework for building a real, living connection with the Holy Prophet’s household (as), aimed at hastening the reappearance of the Living Imam (may Allah hasten his zuhur). By Nasreen T. Syed (Bint Dr. Syed Mohammad Tahir Naqvi) Please offer a Surah Fatiha for my father and for all the marhumeen. This is not a collection of random acts. It is a system — a divinely guided sequence that unfolded for me over fifteen years (at original compilation but since then it has grown, this is a foundational version but the advanced version will be posted in a series Insha Allah), beginning with the recitation of Ziarat e Ashura on the day my father returned to his Creator (7th of May 2005, may Allah have mercy on his soul).

The True Missing Link for the Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (atfs): A Challenge to Scholars

-

Why Spiritual Alignment Through Divine Knowledge Is the Key to Recognizing and Supporting the Imam's Return 1. Knowledge of Divine Alignment is Integral to Spiritual Readiness: The reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (atfs) hinges upon the readiness of the believers. If we are to align with divine guidance and truly engage with the teachings of the Quran, Nahjul Balagha, the Asma ul-Husna, and other sacred texts, we are spiritually preparing ourselves for the Imam's arrival. This preparedness is not only external—through deeds—but deeply internal, through transforming the heart and soul. The soul’s alignment with divine will is essential for the reappearance. This process involves recalibrating our hearts through constant engagement with sacred texts, dhikr, and spiritual practices, making us worthy of the Imam’s guidance. 2. Engagement with Divine Texts Prepares the Heart for Transformation: Imam Mahdi’s (atfs) reappearance is tied to the collective spiritual and moral a...

The Voice of Lady Zaynab (As), standing up against Injustice - A call to the Community for support

  Standing as a Representative of Lady Zaynab (AS): A Call for Justice and Community Solidarity 786 In the name of Lady Zaynab (AS), a woman of unparalleled strength and resilience from the family of the Holy Prophet (SAW), I stand today as her representative—a voice for the oppressed, the ignored, and the dismissed. Lady Zaynab (AS) stood against tyranny, injustice, and falsehood, her words reverberating across history as a beacon of truth and unwavering dignity. Inspired by her legacy, I raise my voice to address an issue of injustice—one that reflects a larger disregard for the values of fairness, integrity, and respect. As someone who has faced professional dismissal and dishonor despite my earnest efforts and time, I cannot remain silent. This is not just a personal grievance; it is a call to the community to stand together against the erosion of principles we hold sacred. I request the voices of the community—those who believe in justice, who honor truth, and who stand with t...
