Opening Ceremony of the Quran and Hadith Research Centers

Ayatullah Muhammad Muhammadi Rayshahri attended the opening ceremony of the Quran and Hadith Research Centers on the eve of 5th August 2013. The ceremony was held in Allameh Majlisi Auditorium in Dar al-Hadith Institute. He while speaking at the opening ceremony said, “Establishment of The Quran and Hadith Research Centers is an important step that will take us closer to the goals set by Dar al-Hadith Institute. I hope that this institute will be a source of manifold blessing for the Islamic Seminary and the entire Muslim world.”

The head of the Dar al-Hadith Institute thanked the Ministry of Education for their efforts and cooperation in granting approval to this newly established research center.

While pointing to the fact that we were in the last days of the holy month of Ramadan, he said, “Those people who are careful of their actions, think in these days as to how much they benefited from this divine banquet. One sign which shows that the fasting in this month was accepted and a person benefited from this month is that such a person experiences spiritual change and enlightenment.”

Ayatullah Rayshahri added, “If a fasting person during these last days feels that he has become closer to God, his attachment to worldly possessions has decreased and his longing for the hereafter has become more intense, then such a person has benefited from this divine banquet. Otherwise such a person should try more to benefit from these last remaining days.”

The head of the Shah Abdul Azim Shrine said, “One of the blessings of the holy month of Ramadan is enlightenment of the heart and such a pure and enlightened heart is a necessity for those doing research in the field of the Quran and Hadith.”

He said, “A researcher in the field of Quran and Hadith is different from a researcher in another subject. Quran and Hadith are sources of spiritual enlightenment. So a researcher in order to benefit from these two sources of light and in order to provide others with guidance from these two sources must himself possess spiritual light within himself.”

This ceremony was held in the presence of Ayatullah Rayshahri, Mahdi Nejad Noori the head of the Technology and Research Department of Ministry of Education and official from the Quran and Hadith University and from different research institutes affiliated to Quran and Hadith Research Centre. The ceremony concluded with unveiling of the foundation stone of the Quran and Hadith Research Centers and the institute officially began its functioning.
