The President of Qom University of Technology, in issuing a message commemorating the Decade of Insight, described these days as a period of awakening and awareness for the nation against internal and external conspiracies. The text of Dr. Rezai Noor's message is as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Insight is not merely about knowing; it involves a correct understanding of circumstances and the times, as well as the ability to distinguish right from wrong. In fact, insight helps us align ourselves with the path of truth and reality and to steer clear of conspiracies and deviations.
One of the prominent characteristics of the Iranian nation throughout the history of the Islamic Revolution has been political and social insight. The people of this land have consistently demonstrated, with a full awareness of the goals and plans of domestic and foreign adversaries, that they remain steadfast and vigilant in their commitment to the Revolution and its principles. This characteristic reached its peak on December 30, 2009, when the people of Iran, through their enthusiastic presence in the streets, proved their resilience against any kind of conspiracy and plot.
In today's world, insight is more important than ever. The world, filled with information and social networks, sometimes confuses individuals within society. Therefore, recognizing the correct methods for analyzing and critiquing information, as well as the ability to differentiate truth from rumors and fake news, are essential skills that must be promoted within the academic environment.
Qom University of Technology, as one of the leading scientific and educational centers in the country, plays a vital role in enhancing the awareness and insight of its students. Our students must not only advance in the fields of science and technology but should also engage in a comprehensive analysis of social, political, and cultural issues with insight and full awareness, playing an effective role in the future decision-making of the country. As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei (may his shadow be exalted), has always emphasized: "The university should be a hub of insight and enlightenment."
In conclusion, I request all esteemed faculty members, students, and staff to strengthen their insight in various fields by utilizing the scientific and cultural opportunities available at the university and to always take steps towards fostering national unity, advancing the country, and countering enemy threats. Just as the people of Iran proved on December 30, 2009, only with insight and unity can we stand firm against any challenge and achieve victory. It is hoped that this week of insight will mark the beginning of a renewed commitment to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and the esteemed Supreme Leader.
And peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His blessings
Jalal Rezai Noor
President of Qom University of Technology
