Speaking before noon on Saturday, at the Third Congress Honouring "Master of Thought, Allameh Misbah Yazdi", Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi expressed satisfaction with attending the ceremony honouring this scientific, intellectual, revolutionary, philosopher and sage, and the honourable thinker and stated, “In the years after the demise of Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on several occasions, drew everyone’s attention to the intellectual, thought and revolutionary personality and comprehensiveness and existential capacity of his personality, because this personality can be beneficial for the society and scientific centres”.
Appreciating all those involved in collecting and presenting the works and ideas of Allameh Misbah Yazdi to the society and seminary and university centres as a necessary task and emphasised by the Supreme Leader, the President added, “Allameh Misbah was a thinker, had new ideas and was basically a free-thinking figure. What is more important is that his free thinking and innovations in the field of thought were based on solid foundations”.
Dr Raisi continued, “Ayatollah Misbah was not only a scholarly person who nurtured students, but he was also a stream-creating personality, and this stream-creating was not limited to the time of his enlightened life, but after his demise, his intellectual flow continued”.
The President described the courses of the plan of the province as interesting courses and focuses on solving the mental knots for the youth and stated, “If the mental knots of the youth are not untied, it will become a problem and will create actions and reactions in their social and political life. But Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi sought to resolve the mental knots among teenagers and young people”.
The President described the rational and logical defence of Islamic beliefs and thoughts as the main intellectual project of Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi and said, “logical and rational defence of religious beliefs and confronting intellectual and ideological deviations is a central point that should be the attention of all intellectuals”.
Stating that there are always waves to create deviation in the ideological atmosphere of the societies, the President added, “Among these, the important point is to stand on positions and foundations and defend these principles, and it is this standing that gives originality to a thought”.
Dr Raisi listed one of the most important points in Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi's conduct and scientific behaviour as his courageous stand in the field of defending religion in the face of rumours, and noted, “Sometimes the rumourmongers’ rumours narrow the field for the righteous and even those who understand the truth, which need the right explanation”.
“In our society, not enough work has been done on the activities of rumourmongers, but you should know that the condition of effectiveness in the intellectual field is to recognise the truth and stand in the way of explaining the facts,” he said.
