The senior cleric stated that the implementation of religious principles in society is the main duty of the Islamic Seminary and the clergy and stated, “Some of them only consider the deep understanding of religion as the duty of the Islamic Seminary and say that the Islamic Seminary doesn’t play a role in it. The incorrect viewpoint is that it must be corrected because the Islamic Seminary cannot be indifferent to the implementation of religious principles.”
Referring to the way of life of the divine prophets regarding the implementation of the principles of religion in society, Hujjat al-Islam Mojtahed-Shabestari said, “By looking with precision at the history of the divine prophets, we find that these great people have explained the religion to the people and they are also trying to implement religious principles in society.”
The teacher in the Islamic Seminary said that divine principles won’t be implemented without the rule of Islam and religious government in society, said, “The realization of the Islamic and religious rule is the duty of the Islamic Seminary and the clergy.”
He emphasized that the realization and implementation of religious foundations is formed in the light of the strengthening of the revolutionary discourse and said, “If we were only seeking to introduce religion to society and not attempt to achieve the rule of religion, we have undoubtedly failed to establish the basis and understand the religious concepts correctly.”
Hujjat al-Islam Mojtahed-Shabestari stated that revolutionary discourse seeks to bring religion from the scene of personal relationships to the scene of social relations, governance and international relations and said, “The revolutionary discourse seeks to bring religion into the realm of the relationship between society and the individual, the individual with society and societies and other societies.”
