In the international webinar “Martyr Qasem Soleimani, role model for Islamic world in fight against arrogance, extremism”, the head of international affairs of seminaries stated, “Today we are at an important historical turning point where the balance between civilizations is changing. We are at the beginning of the formation of a new Islamic civilization, and in order to form a civilization, we need civilizational figures.”
“Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani is a clear example of a civilizational figure,” on Martyr Soleimani’s characteristics, Hojat al-Islam Sayed Mofid Hosseini Kouhsari said, “He mastered modern science and technology. He was an expert and a believer in God and always relied on God. Martyr Soleimani was a combination of genius and teamwork, using the opinions of others through consultation.”
“Although Martyr Qasem Soleimani was a patriot and believed in the Shia, he paid special attention to the Islamic Ummah and all Islamic schools. He was a civilizational figure, and he had emotion and rationality. Soleimani had the highest degree of rationality and was an emotional person,” he also continued.
“Martyr Soleimani was a combination of perseverance and resistance; he was a manager and an ascetic. As a military commander, he was immersed in divine love. There was a combination of courage and resourcefulness in him. He was not afraid of enemies, and he entered into matters thoughtfully,” added the head of international affairs of seminaries.
In the end, stating that Haj Qasem was a combination of idealism and realism, he added, “To achieve his ideals, General Soleimani went forward step by step and had a plan. Haj Qasem was a book reader and took books with him on all trips and battlefields. Everyone loved Haj Qasem. He was steadfast and patient. For more than 40 years, he wanted to be martyred in the way of God, and finally achieved his dream.”
