Top Shia cleric Grand Ayatollah Hussein Nouri Hamedani, in a message to the third international Conference "Imam Reza (PBUH) and Modern Sciences" stated:
Greetings to that honorable assembly
In fact, life is the stage of struggle between right and wrong, spirituality and deviance, and happiness and sadness. In the meantime, a look at the life of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) is a bright example before us that can forever be a healing and therapeutic version of the life of humans and societies.
Each of the divine saints have made unreserved and abundant efforts in the way of establishing and institutionalizing the religion of God in the world of creation. In the meantime, the 8th Imam of the Shiites is the leader of the scientific, political and cultural jihad since Imam Reza (PBUH) initiated a political struggle against the oppressive government by not accepting Mamun's rule and revealing his true face. Imam Reza (peace be upon him) considered the conditions of migration from Medina to Iran and he even turned the heavy threats of oppression and deviation of the Abbasids into an opportunity. On the other hand, the Almighty God has made the eighth Imam the center of the expansion of divine knowledge and its global dissemination, and this is beautifully evident and manifested in the system and collection of religious teachings.
What adds to our mission is not to be satisfied with the previous and current actions, but to think of strategies to spread and consolidate these teachings among people, especially the hearts of new generations, in any situation.
If the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) are properly explained and presented according to the needs of the day, it can provide meaningful solutions for the basic problems of Islamic society in this turbulent age. In addition, it is the most solid way to introduce the school of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) to the Islamic world and the growing need for spirituality in this period of human history.
At the end, I pray to the Almighty God for the increasing success of all the organizers, researchers and people of science and spirituality, and to all of you dear ones who have established this great scientific and knowledge gathering near the luminous resting place of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (PBUH).
