  1. What a powerful speech by our 48th Imam, spoken in the simplest English but communicating the profoundest ideas. I must have heard the phrase “scientific knowledge and development” about 5 to 7 times in this speech. He certainly did not mince his words in this and other speeches when it came to the importance of not only paying homage to the scientists, philosophers and other intellectuals during Islam’s golden period but, more importantly, of re-establishing in a hurry the absolutely fundamental Islamic principle of learning about the universe, what it is made up of, how it operates and how this knowledge can also be used to the practical benefit of Muslim societies, something which is being more than amply demonstrated by our present Imam and the institutions he heads.
