AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Shia scholar Hujjat al-Islam Rashid Yazdi stated,” Imam Reza (PBUH) laid the groundwork for the development and spread of science in the society, and the scientific movement of this Imam provided the foundation for the flourishing of Islamic sciences.”
Hujjat al-Islam Rashid Yazdi spoke about the special position of Imam Reza (PBUH) in the second summer school of Dar al-Alam stating that Imam Reza established the position of Imamate and added,” This Imam, by developing the position of science in the society, established the policy of learning science, as it was done before the caliphs, to express the topics of Imamate.”
He continued to say that these cases caused no doubt about the number of imams after him, and that is why he was called the Samen Al-Aeme, and on the other hand, for this reason, we call Imam Reza (PBUH) the Samen Al-Aeme because accepting his imamate means acceptance of other imams as well.
Hujjat al-Islam Rashid Yazdi explained the necessity of adhering to piety and observing morals and divine manners, adding,” If we adhere to piety, God himself will be of help to his servants, since in contemporary society, the supreme leader and Imam Khomeini (RA)are examples of this saying.”
The Shia cleric further added that Imam Reza (PBUH) laid the groundwork for the development and spread of science in the society, and the scientific movement of this Imam provided the foundation for the flourishing of Islamic sciences.
