In the verge of this visitation, Hujjat al-Islam Muhammad Fallah, deputy of research on proximity studies, affiliated to the world Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought viewed visitation of this group from Islamic Research Foundation of Astan Quds Razavi a blessed event and said, “Members of this group are first-ranked scholars of Indonesia, each engaged in scientific activities in a section and island of Indonesia and are considered representatives of people and scientific associations of that section.”



“Upon their entrance, these scholars delivered lectures on ‘role of religious scholars in Islamic unity’ in scientific meetings held in Qum city and met three respected religious authorities, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, Ayatollah Safi Gulpayegani, and Ayatollah Nuri Hamedani”, he expounded on visitation programs of the group.



According to Hujjat al-Islam Fallah, the scholars after taking part in Friday Prayer had a meeting with Ayatollah Alam al-Huda, Mashhad Friday Prayer Leader, and presented a report from scientific situation in Indonesia.



“Due to the broad involvement of this center in different scientific and research domains, it was included into the visitation program of this group”, deputy of research on proximity studies, affiliated to the world Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought remarked.



“Unfortunately, lack of Shi’ite sources in Indonesia is very striking but the group’s visit has provided for feasibility of exchange of information and sources as well as scientific cooperation between the two countries”, he reiterated.
