"Read. Read in the name of thy Lord who created" [96:1-2]

One who proceeds on a path in the pursuit of knowledge, God makes him proceed therewith on a path to the Garden (Paradise). And, verily, the angels spread their wings for the seekers of knowledge out of delight.

– Prophet Muhammad (saw)

(Al‑Kulayni, al‑Kafi, vol. 1, Kitab Fadl al‑’Ilm, Hadith #1)

It is necessary to prepare schools especially for them – even by building, obtaining state licences, providing teachers… even at great cost.


– Sayyid Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei

(Sirat al-Najät vol. 9, Q 630)

The hope is that Muslims and believers everywhere will cooperate… by striving to establish schools for this generation in those lands… the problem in its importance and magnitude calls for such [material) sacrifices.


– Sayyid Muhammad Said al-Hakim

(Murshid al-Mughtarib)
