Message of Ayatullah Professor Khamenei on the Occasion of Mulla Sadra’s Commemoration Day, 2021
23.05.2021
In the Name of God
22nd of May is the Day of Mulla
Sadra and the day of wisdom and philosophy. On this day,
in addition to conferences and philosophical studies,
several discussions are held on a number of important
problems of the human world regarding their theoretical
and practical aspects as well as the practical effects
of philosophy on optimal human life. The outcomes of
such discussions contribute to living a life in
conformity with Shari’a and original natural laws and
keeping away from hostility and brutality.
Rational and philosophical wisdom
and philosophy were first introduced to human life by
the prophets and disseminators of heavenly religions.
The guardians and teachers of such gifts were the
prophet’s heirs, scholars, and clergymen. Later, lovers
of wisdom in different parts of the world tasted the
fruit of the tree of philosophy and wisdom, and those
who were later called sages and philosophers became
involved in guiding their people in terms of morality
and behavior.
Presently, human beings require
philosophy and wisdom more than any other time in order
to live a happy and rational life in tandem with nature.
Fortunately, after the holy Islamic Revolution in Iran,
philosophy and wisdom found a supreme place in Iran and
the names of Iran, Mulla Sadra, Ibn Sina, and other
philosophers were spread all over the world. We hope
that the authorities in related educational and cultural
organizations and centers inside and outside the country
contribute more than ever before to the dissemination of
wisdom and philosophy in the world.
