In the name of Allah
For Developing the Islamic Community Potential Resources Our MissionIn today’s complex world, just surviving still less Islamicly living requires skillful personal, familial, organizational and social management. Serving our Lord with the most of our potential, making the background favorable for the deliberate choice of the people between the divine and the satanic systems and methods and finally participating in establishing the human worldwide family under the leadership of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) demand highly sensitive and well-developed personal, familial and social management skills in realizing our own potential and helping to realize that of others. Rounded development, including the ability to manage ourselves and others, is always a vital part of the Muslim’s toolkit. The Holy Qur’an states: “Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.”
ولتكن منكم أمة يدعون الي الخير ويأمرون بالمعروف و ينهون عن المنكر و اولئك هم المفلحون (آل عمران -104)
Moreover the human resources always play the first role in realizing the strategy of Islam. Therefore the most important prerequisite for making a success of that strategy is to absorb, to find, to revive, to train, to develop and to organize the Muslim actual and potential human resources. Therefore an effective personal and social management is essential, if we are to make the most of our life and our potential whether we are managing a large organization, our own life affairs, or bringing up a family. May it please Allah that Shariat Institute becomes a reasonable and persuading reply to our questions and requirements during the Imam Mahdi’s (A.S.) concealment and thereafter his appearance. The Institute was founded by Dr. Shaikh Reza Shariati who belongs to a famous shia scientific family. He is a well experienced international writer and missionary. Certificated by many Grand Ayatollahs, he has written many books as well as delivered many lectures in English, Arabic, French and Farsi about the system of the Islamic beliefs, laws, morals and etiquette. |
