Hojjatoleslam Dr. Ghorbani, head of the office of the Supreme Leader’s representative at the university, while commemorating the anniversary of Martyr Motahari and congratulating Teachers' Day, said: One point that should be considered today is the spiritual and educational role of the teacher. In Hadith sources, there is a narration from Imam Sadiq (AS) where he said: "Whoever learns for God, acts accordingly, and teaches others will be remembered with greatness in the heavens, and a proclamation will be made that he learned, applied, and taught for God." Therefore, if the goal of a teacher in teaching and educating is to gain divine pleasure, their existence is blessed and leaves a lasting educational impact, contributing to the history of science. Thus, the teacher plays a significant role not only in the academic field but also will be remembered with greatness in the spiritual realm. Students also take cues not only from the educational and specialized content but also from the character and demeanor of their teacher; therefore, if the teacher upholds the necessary conditions and etiquette for obtaining divine pleasure, they will shape the spiritual character of their students in the best manner.
