Ahvaz, 2008 March 4, IQNA

Ahvaz Education Organization, Khuzestan province, hosts the 'National Seminar on Recognition of Hazrat Fatima (a.s.)', which was launched on March 4 .

Mohammad-Javad Razavi, Head of Khuzestan Education Organization, addressed audience at the inaugural ceremony of the two-day seminar, saying that numerous researches and collections have been published and that scholars have spent a great deal of time on the different aspects of Hazrat Fatima's life, but they are only a tiny drop in the shoreless ocean of her prominent virtues.

He referred to the fact that the great Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) attached much importance to his infallible daughter, adding that in the pre-Islamic era when ignorant people had been ashamed of having daughters, the great Prophet (s.a.w.a.) kissed his daughter's hand indicating his respect for her.

Razavi further noted, "We should try to follow the path of the infallible household of the great Prophet (s.a.w.a.) in all arenas including religion, velayat (Islamic governance), hijab and efaf (covering and virtue), children upbringing, work at home, participation in political and social scenes, patience and resistance, with the aim of guaranteeing our salvation in both worlds."

The seminar has been organized with the cooperation of the Education Organization, Nomads Office, and Representative Offices of the Supreme Leader at Chamran, Jondi-Shapur, Islamic Azad and Tarbiat Moallem (teacher training) Universities.
