Dr. Abdul Karim Afroozeh, the Rector of Lar Higher Education Complex, issued a message on the occasion of December 17th, Seminary and University Unity Day. The message reads:

“The seminary and the university are two powerful pillars of the scientific, cultural, and Islamic values of the country’s educational system.

The seminaries, as institutions focused on strengthening the foundations of religious knowledge and promoting faith and ethical behavior, alongside universities, which are tasked with expanding the boundaries of knowledge and training specialized and capable individuals for the construction of a new Islamic civilization, require further collaboration to achieve the great mission of becoming the center of religious, scientific, and technological authority in the Islamic world.

On this day of Unity between the Seminary and the University (December 17th), I honor the memory of the esteemed scholar, Martyr Ayatollah Mofatteh, and extend my congratulations on the occasion of ‘Seminary and University Unity Day.’ I hope that both the seminary and the university succeed in their noble goals, namely in the struggle for clarity and the education of committed, specialized, and civilization-building individuals.”
