TEHRAN – Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday that the issue of scientific progress and achieving cutting-edge science should not be forgotten and paying attention to religious and revolutionary ideas should not ignore scientific progress.
Ayatollah Khamenei received a group of members of the Union of Islamic Students Associations in Europe here where he said taking steady steps, having an impact on the surrounding environment, and explaining the new message of the Islamic Republic are among the missions of Islamic associations.
The Islamic associations were formed to strengthen the intellectual and doctrinal foundations of its members themselves, besides influencing the surrounding environment, but Islamic associations outside Iran are to introduce the fundamental and central thought of the Islamic Republic, he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei touched on the principles of the Islamic Republic, including the link between republicanism and Islamism. He said what the Islamic Republic has offered as a new form of governance besides the involvement of the people is that the principles of religion and faith are also effective.
The Leader also stressed the need to update the Islamic associations in accordance with the present-day situation whilst maintaining their principles and foundations.
“Some principles and concepts are constant and eternal, such as the principle of justice, which has existed for thousands of years and never becomes obsolete. But it is possible to bring about changes and use new ways in administering justice.”
