Esra NEWS Agency: The members of the Howzeh research center met and talked with Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli at his house.

Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli stated, ""Karmat" is an Arabic word that does not have a Persian equivalent. we translate "Karim" and "Kabir the same but they are different. "Karamat" (Dignity) is the description of angels﴿بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَة * كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ﴾; Allah also says in the first Surah in which he introduces himself: He says, ﴿اقْرَأْ وَ رَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ﴾ "I am the dignified lord and invites human societies to participate in the class of dignity, and in the last verses of this Surah Al-Alak, in a tone that complements of dignity, says, ﴿أَلَمۡ يَعلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ﴾ he doesn’t say: Don't sin, don't you know that Akram sees! In this surah, it is not about arresting and punishing, but about becoming an angel, that is, it is based on dignity, and this dignity is the description of angels; Religion wants people to have dignity."

He said, "The Infallible pure Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, also want people to be dignified, and the Howzeh, which are the children of this family, should be dignified and live with dignity.

  Although there is economic pressure for the clerical community as well as other class of society, some bear this economic pressure by speaking ill of the system, and some bear this economic pressure graciously, such as Howzeh."

Emphasizing on protecting the independence of Howzeh, he said, "Howzeh should be independent, if the seminary has economic independence, has good management, everyone will respect it. the Howzeh should be a defender and preacher of the system, but not dependent on the system. It should not be subordinated to the governments. The independence of the Howzeh from the governments, is like the independence of the teacher from the student, the independence of the teacher from the student and the independence of the writer from the reader. the Howzeh should always be with the system as a guide. The Howzeh support and help the system. It should advise, guides and supports the government. It is the teacher and guide of the system, but he should not be subject to the governments. the clergy should not make contractual deals with the governments, but should make one sided deal. In this case, if there is embezzlement in some Governments, the Howzeh name will not be stained."

In another part of his speech, he mentioned the three different ages of seminaries in the last hundred years and stated, "The Howzeh, in the past century, has three period. it was a period of weakness and suffocation that began in 1300, which was the era of Reza Khan and killing and oppression. It counties until a few years after Reza Khan's escape. During this period, the Howzeh were weak. Since 1325. when Grand Ayatollah Boroujerdi entered the blessed Howzeh (of Qom), It is the beginning of the Howzeh prosperity. The greatness of Ayatollah Borujerdi's personality and also the emergence of personalities like Allameh Tabatabai in that era caused the development and growth of the Howzeh, and the third phase, which was an outstanding phase, started from 1340 with the presence of the Imam and his announcements and exiles, and until the victory of the revolution in 1357. In this period Howzeh showed its own power, which was able to overthrow the former regime with the help of the people!"

He continued, "The power of Howzeh showed itself during the revolution, in the drafting of the constitution, in the unequal 8-year defence. the power of Howzeh show itself because the people followed the Maraje and scholars and repeating Ya Hussain, they were participated the holy defense and had won."

He stated, "The Howzeh has the power to govern the society very well, but it should be known that whenever religious sentiments grow, the pretending to be religious, hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness also increase. Therefore, in these type of situation poets and elites wrote more poems criticizing hypocrisy and pretend to asceticism, because hypocrisy, and pretending asceticism and sanctimoniousness were increasing. Whenever the government became Islamic, embezzlers would also show themselves as devoted Muslims. Howzeh should know and not let such people pretend to be religious!"

He stated, "If the Howzeh work with the right plans, maintain their independence and deal only with Allah and the Aemeh(peace be upon them), people will respect them. Even if they do not believe in something, but they know that the laws of the countries are must be respected and they comply, but not with pressure, we would not succeed. If these girls are told the words of the Ahl al-Bayt that «فَإِنَّ اَلشَّعْرَ أَحَدُ اَلْجَمَالَيْنِ» the hair is one of the beauties of a woman, but « زَکاةُ الجـَمالِ العِفـافُ» the zakat of beauty is purity and virtu, they also accept. But when she sees that they want to impose poverty on he while they embezzle on large scale, then she will not accept these words (of Ahlulbyte) anymore."

In the end, he said, "Invite the society to unity and know that religion is protected by Allah and the religion is accompanied by divine help."
