Institute of Contemporary Jurisprudence Studies

Imam Khomeini: Unless the clergy have an active presence in all issues and problems, it cannot understand that the customary ijtihad is not enough to administer the society. Seminaries and the clergy should always have the pulse of thinking and the future needs of society in their hands and always be a few steps ahead of the events, ready to react appropriately.

The grand leader (Ayatollah Khamenei):
Today Seminars must not be absent from different jurisprudential arenas of the world. So many questions are raised in the world and about different issues. What’s the answer from the Seminary? It must not be absent; it must not be passive; both are harmful. New thought is necessary, it is necessary to give answers to the constantly emerging new needs which are emerging in the world like a flood; you have to find their answers.
(His remarks in meeting seminarians and Seminary teachers of Qum on 29.7.1389)
