Bangladeshi Delegation Visits University of Islamic Denominations in Tehran
The delegation held talks with the president of the university, Mohammad Hadi Fallahzadeh during a meeting that was also attended by the academic center’s deputies and other officials and faculty members.
Welcoming the guests, Fallahzadeh stressed the need for expanding scholarly and cultural interactions between the universities of Iran and Bangladesh.
Referring to the global mission of Islam and the role of universities in achieving the goal of promoting Islam, he said, “Since our perspective is one of proximity and unity of the Ummah, our actions and behavior must be aligned with the interests of the Islamic Ummah. Borders have been drawn for us by others, and if we remove ideological boundaries, geographical borders will no longer be an obstacle to our unity.”
Fallahzadeh also pointed out the goals behind establishing the International University of Islamic Denominations, saying, “One of our main objectives is to promote theoretical and practical rapprochement among Islamic schools of thought, and the teaching of jurisprudence from different schools is conducted by professors belonging to those same schools at this university. We are ready to engage in academic cooperation and exchange of faculty and students with universities in Bangladesh, both virtually and in person.”
At the meeting, Jalil Parvin, the university’s vice president for education and graduate studies, introduced the university’s scientific, educational, and research capacities and emphasized the importance of promoting a culture of proximity and peaceful coexistence among Muslims.
Then, Mawlawi Mohammad Ishaq Madani, a faculty member at the university, welcomed the Bangladeshi scholars and highlighted the crucial role of scientific interactions among scholars of various schools in strengthening Islamic unity.
