Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Monday recommended the theologians to reproduce the lofty Islamic teachings to keep up with progress of science and technology.

Islamic Revolution Leader made the remarks in a meeting with a group of non-Iranian clerics residing and studying in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that acquaintance of world nations with the lofty teachings of Islam will bring them independence, identity, dignity, progress, freedom and authority for the Islamic Ummah.

"The Islamic Revolution from the early stage campaigned for salvation from arrogance and by triumph of the Islamic Revolution, the Muslim nations in the East and West felt the enlivening message and opening of a new way ahead."

"The theological students from about 100 countries are studying in the holy city of Qom which have prepared grounds for acquaintance of world nations with the Islamic Republic of Iran," Islamic Revolution Leader said.

The Islamic Revolution is not a mere political institution to be exported to other parts of the world through political or military means, said the Leader adding that Iran has dismissed the wrong idea from export of revolution since the beginning.

"The foreign theological students in Qom should spare no effort to attain scientific and educational knowledge as Islamic teachings will capture the heart of devoted people," he added.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that it is about 200 years that the colonial and arrogance apparatus are striving to humiliate and ignore the Muslim nations but the Islamic Revolution revived historical concepts as dignity, justice, resistance and Islamic identity in the mind of Islamic Ummah.

"Patience and resistance were among the messages of Almighty God to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and the late Imam Khomeini followed the same message in the course of the movement of the Iranian nation since 1963 which culminated in 1979."

"The Late Imam Khomeini strongly promoted the Islamic teachings and never hesitated to deal with existing problems and difficulties, Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that in the past 30 years since victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation stood against the western economic sanctions and made them ineffective.

Islamic Revolution Leader said that foreign theological students in Qom are the core of the International Scientific-Islamic Society who should seize this great opportunity to carry out their divine duties.
