Here is the content of the piece of his will narrated in the above video:

&quot;Your soldier [I] observed from a watchtower that if this system is harmed, religion and all the values you have made sacrifices to preserve in its various domains will be lost. This era is unlike any other; if they [Daesh] gain dominance this time, nothing will remain of Islam. The correct path is unwavering support for the Islamic Revolution, Islamic Republic, and the Velayat Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist). You, as the hope of Islam, must not let others&#39; actions cause hesitation in your resolve. I see Ayatollah Khamenei as very oppressed and alone. He needs your companionship and assistance. You, esteemed scholars, must guide society through your words, meetings, and support for him. If this Revolution is harmed, it will not even resemble the era of the accursed Shah; instead, the efforts of imperialism will lead to pure atheism and an irreversible deep deviation.&quot;

Lieutenant General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran&rsquo;s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq&rsquo;s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and their companions were assassinated in a US drone strike authorized by then-US President Donald Trump near the Iraqi capital Baghdad&rsquo;s International Airport on January 3, 2020.

Martyr Soleimani played a pivotal role in uprooting the US-backed Daesh terrorist group.

Late Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani recommends the seminary scholars to support the Islamic Republic and the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei as the correct path to preserve Islam in the contemporary era.

Hijab

During his advanced kharij Fiq lessons in Qom&#39;s Grand Mosque Ayatollah Shabzendedar stated: &ldquo;The way to prevent these issues [desecrating hijab] from arising is that everyone - especially the ladies who maintain hijab and those who see Lady Fatimah and Lady Zeinab (peace be upon them both) as their leaders - should announce that they want the hijab. This desire should be announced to the entire world.&rdquo;

&nbsp;

He considered pro-hijab rallies in part of the country effective act that should be supported and stressed: &quot;The public should help officials deal with this issue with greater determination, by making their demands heard.&quot;

&nbsp;

Hijab acts as a unifying symbol for Muslim women, cultivating a sense of belonging and solidarity. The communal spirit enhances social bonds and fosters collective support. Additionally, it plays a vital role in promoting modesty, dignity, and respect, thereby contributing to the overall ethical health of society.

The member of Iran's Guardian Council notes that the issue of hijab shouldn't be tied to economic problems.

The Islamic Seminary of Khuzestan and especially the city of Ahwaz has a lively, active and exciting environment. In this place we benefited a lot from the presence of the scholars and also had a meeting with the new director of the province, the respected Shaykh Bilādiyān. He was a virtuous person, very respectful and well - mannered, and had a knowledgeable and revolutionary personality.In addition, we had a meeting with Ayatollah Jazāirī, who has in – depth advanced jurisprudence lessons in Ahvaz. The picture related to his advanced jurisprudence lessons can be seen below.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:62.99%;"><img src="https://fms.s3.ir-thr-at1.arvanstorage.com/khozestan1_22b85d89ee_5dffbe70d1.jpg"><figcaption>One of the Advanced Jurisprudence Lessons of Ayatollah Jazāirī</figcaption></figure>During our two day stay in Khuzestan, as can be seen in the picture below, he was slightly ill, but he warmly welcomed the department of contemporary jurisprudence and after I presented a complete report on the achievements of contemporary jurisprudence at his home, he became so happy that he straightaway accepted our proposal, and it was decided that during this year, in his main advanced jurisprudence lessons, he would devote one session a week in discussing a nominal entity.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:63%;"><img src="https://fms.s3.ir-thr-at1.arvanstorage.com/khozestan3_b89572f71e_b8066d5f33.jpg"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:62.97%;"><img src="https://fms.s3.ir-thr-at1.arvanstorage.com/khozestan4_033f5a18ce_77867fae5b.jpg"><figcaption>Meeting Ayatollah Jazāirī</figcaption></figure>Another one of the blessings of this journey was meeting Ayatollah Muḥsin Ḥaydarī who is one of the teachers of advanced jurisprudence from Ahwaz. During the meeting that was held in his school as shown in the picture below with the professors and managers that work for him, the interesting thing to note was that he teaches the topic of guardianship of the jurist and had also published a book in Arabic regarding the Shia Islamic view on the type of government administration that was published in the Arab world, and more interestingly, the esteemed professors of his school were very seriously following the latest topics of contemporary jurisprudence.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:62.42%;"><img src="https://fms.s3.ir-thr-at1.arvanstorage.com/khozestan2_8d8b3722ac_6ebe780ff4.jpg"><figcaption>Meeting Ayatollah Muḥsin Ḥaydarī who is one of the teachers of advanced jurisprudence from Ahwaz along with professors and managers that work for him.</figcaption></figure>He said that after his current discussion of advanced jurisprudence, which is about partnership (Musharikah) and lands (which is a problem in that region), he will start teaching another one of the discussions of contemporary jurisprudence.P.S. Something that you may not know is that a work - related trip with the current 63-year-old director of the Islamic Seminary means work and lots of work without a moment to breathe... You may not believe it, but the only free time I had was when I went to bring something as a souvenir for my little children when I was returning to the airport, that too because the plane was delayed for a few minutes, and if the esteemed director of the Islamic Seminary had known about this delay, he would have ordered a meeting and resolved the issue on the spot.&nbsp;Any role that can be played by reasonExcept the role of&nbsp; Beloved who is unhappy...&nbsp;

Last week we had a brief meeting with the esteemed director and officials of the Islamic Seminary. To be fair, even though various meetings were held continuously from sunrise to midnight, the results of these meetings were so attractive and promising that they also relieved the earlier fatigue.

Report of the Journey to Khuzestan as narrated by the Director of the Department of Contemporary Jurisprudence

In this series of questions and answers, the goals and features of the new format of advanced level lessons was clearly elaborated upon and it is hoped that such a practice is kept constant. The following two links contain the questions and answers propound upon and a detailed explanation of the new learning format has been presented:&nbsp;<a href="https://hawzahnews.com/xbQRM">https://hawzahnews.com/xbQRM</a><a href="https://hawzahnews.com/xbQPP">https://hawzahnews.com/xbQPP</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;There are two noteworthy points in the above material which indicate to the original subject matter which have been decided upon after a few years of gathering opinions of teachers:&nbsp;&nbsp;1) The general level of students, while observing traditional learning methods (such as discussions and lesson writing), cannot study 4 lessons a day and increasing the study years is not possible&nbsp;&nbsp;2) Majority of the general lessons of the seminary do not study the final sections where as necessarily the final sections do not have a lesser priority in comparison to all other sections and the teachers are looking for a solution to teach those sections. Having said that, the instances that are currently being considered are as follows&nbsp;&nbsp;Firstly: Every teacher, who in accordance to previous formats, is able to study the complete study program with their best students should continue the same format and after completing the term program should hold exams (the number of exam times will be increased). However, as for teachers who in the past were unable to complete the term program, instead of eliminating the final sections, in accordance to the importance and appropriate distribution, should dedicate some lessons as self study.&nbsp;&nbsp;The recommended term study program can be modified after receiving general feedback from the teachers. Thus, the previous education system is preserved for interested teachers and students and as for the rest, it has been endeavoured that a more rational planning is considered.

With effort from the seminary news agency and respected deputy head of education of the religious Seminaries, Hujjat ul Islam wal Muslimeen Rustam Nijād responded to questions brought forth by teachers and students regarding the new format for advanced level lessons of the Islamic seminary.
