Alizadeh, in charge of the booth of the Almurtaza (a.s.) International Institution in the “Lights of Guidance” exhibition, stated, “This is the first exhibition where all international institutions (active in propagation of Islam) have gathered together, and its continuation will bring many blessings.”

ABWA Official Website – On the sidelines of the “Lights of Guidance” exhibition, ABNA reporter interviewed Mohammad Hossein Alizadeh, in charge of the booth of the Almurtaza International Institution.

Regarding the history of his institution, he said, “Almurtaza International Institute was established in 2010 with the support of a group of donors. Our institution is non-governmental and cooperates with the Management Center of the Qom Seminary and other institutions, including Al-Mustafa (a.s.) International University.”

“The institution is active in three sectors: education, propagation (of Islam) and media activities. Of course, its media activities are part of the propagation, and the institution propagates Islam in person and virtually. On the other hand, Almurtaza Institution holds short-term courses in elementary and advanced levels for training missionaries in English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese languages,” Alizadeh stated on the activities of Almurtaza (a.s.) International Institution.

“In Almurtaza (a.s.) Institution, the courses held in English are at an advanced level and there is no elementary course,” he added, “However, in other languages start from elementary levels. In addition to language training, the clergy get to know the region, culture and geography of the target areas. In addition to teaching foreign languages, they are also trained in the scientific disciplines of debate, (Islamic) theology, and beliefs. After two years of training courses, the friends who have reached the desired level to propagate and preach, will be selected for in person propagation in the target areas. Of course, today the policy of the institution is more focused in the media and virtual propagation.”

“Almurtaza (a.s.) International Institute introduces Islam to non-Muslims. In this regard, a group of scholars have published the book “Introduction to Islam” in 5 languages, which will be officially unveiled,” expressed Mohammad Hossein Alizadeh, in charge of the booth of the Almurtaza International Institution.

“It is a good exhibition that has been held, furthermore it is the first exhibition where all international institutions (active in propagation of Islam) have gathered, and its continuation will bring many blessings. Nevertheless, more works is required in publicity field. Because many institutions still have no information about holding this exhibition,” he commented on the “Lights of Guidance” exhibition in the end.

It should be mentioned that on the establishment anniversary of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the exhibition of the achievements of institutions and organizations active in the international propagation of Islam, entitled “Lights of Guidance” is being held from Saturday, December 31, 2022, until January Thursday 5, 2023, in the conference hall of the Islamic Propagation Office of the Seminary.        

It is also worth noting that the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly was established on December 31, 1990, with the aim of gathering Shiites, establishing relationships within the Shiite world, promoting Shiites seminaries, solving the problems of Shiites with other Islamic Denominations, and benefiting from real and legal capabilities of Shiites.

The Assembly was established by the order of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on December 25, 1990, with the aim of introducing the revolutionary foundations, and thought of the Islamic system of Iran to Shiites all over the world. /345/
