Martyr Motahari’s Thoughts and Works Discussed in Kenya

In a meeting arranged by Iran Cultural Center in Kenya, the role and status of Martyr Motahari’s thoughts and works in Kenya’s Muslim community was investigated.

Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Mohammad Sadeq Amini, Iran cultural expert in Kenya, and a number of Shia leaders and religious activists discussed their views on the role of Martyr Motahari’s thoughts and ideas as well as his works in Kenya.

“The translation of a number of Martyr Motahari’s books in English, Arabic and Urdu has been welcomed by people in Kenya and other countries in East Africa,” Mr. Amini said. “Martyr Motahari managed to find new ways to meet the society’s ideological, cultural and social needs. His perfect mastery over Islamic sciences and other ideologies had given him an innovative mind to analyze different issues.

He said that Iran Cultural Center in Kenya will try to provide all Martyr Motahari’s works in English and Arabic and will have some of them translated into Swahili.

Other speakers at the meeting, held at Iran Cultural Center in Nairobi, were Soleiman Chitala, Islamic instructor and preacher, Sadiq Lu, head of Shias Community, Mahdi Moslem and Faruq Lu, members of the Shias Committee, and Eisa Manjgu, head of the Al-Qaem Institute.
