🪖Knowledge joined with piety, an iron shield and a sharp sword against the criminal US and Zionist regime

✏️In an age when the savagery of the system of domination — particularly the criminal US government and the illegitimate Zionist regime — is rampant, the power that springs from knowledge, which is joined with piety and ethics, is like an iron shield and a sharp sword that cuts short the aggressors' hands from harming humanity. You now sit in classrooms where the generations who sat on those dear benches shortly before you are now on the various fronts defending the homeland and honor of Islamic Iran, creating dignity and authority. They will be models and guiding lights for you, just as before them, there were those in these same classrooms who are now counted to be among the exemplars of sacrifice, emblems of the nation's grandeur, and legends of greatness and nobility.

🇮🇷A glorious future, in the hands of the Revolution's children

🔻The reopening of the houses of knowledge heralds a glorious future, whose realization rests in the capable hands of the dear children of Iran and those educated by the school of
Islam and the Islamic Revolution. This is the same generation in which the Great Khomeini and the magnanimous Martyr Khamenei, may God elevate their noble stations, repeatedly expressed their hope.

🗒Self-improvement, the most important mission of all students

📝It’s the responsibility of today's students and scholars to strive to equip themselves with knowledge and piety, hope and ethics, and wisdom and capability. They must also remove the veils of ignorance and darkness so that by breaking the boundaries of knowledge and conquering the progress-building summits, they may fulfill their historic mission to elevate Islamic Iran. This task is carried out in a place that is their second home. Therefore, I say to these dear people that it’s necessary for you to always safeguard its sanctities in the best possible manner. And by continually raising your level of awareness and insight, and by improving your conduct and character, make this the focal point of your homeland's progress. Take full advantage of the few years you spend in this sanctuary of knowledge, letters, and vitality, and hope for your own self-improvement. This self-improvement includes self-improvement in the most important element of human life, which is connection with the Creator, the Exalted; self-improvement in your relations with your fellow human beings, your compatriots, and your family; and self-improvement in acquiring knowledge and attaining every kind of skill.

🌷The sorrow of our martyrs guides us in the new academic year

📖Now that the gates of a new academic year are opening before a vast multitude of students, scholars, and wayfarers in pursuit of knowledge and wisdom and they begin a new chapter of learning and insight with hope in divine success, it’s fitting that we once again honor the memory of the students martyred in the recent Imposed War in sympathy with the grieving mothers and fathers. This year, the memorable days marking the start of the academic year renew the grief of separation from our departed children for us. In schools and universities, the absence of some students, professors, and teachers will be felt. And this sorrow will guide our minds toward the true nature of the conflict between good and evil, and the war between Truth and Falsehood.

🤲A meticulous and profound jurist

💬Throughout his noble life, except for the first few years of childhood, this esteemed scholar devoted himself to learning, teaching, and scholarly research. He was consistently regarded by his peers, contemporaries, and teachers as a meticulous scholar and profound thinker.

✍Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a condolence message following the passing of Grand Ayatollah Shubayri Zanjani on September 22, 2026.

📝The following is the full text of his message:

🔹In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

🔹The sorrowful news of the passing of the revered teacher and distinguished jurist, his eminence Grand Ayatollah Shubayri Zanjani (may God be pleased with him) has been received.

🔹Throughout his noble life, except for the first few years of childhood, this esteemed scholar devoted himself to learning, teaching, and scholarly research. He was consistently regarded by his peers, contemporaries, and teachers as a meticulous scholar and profound thinker. His mastery of the various disciplines pertaining to the derivation of Islamic legal rulings was accompanied by great subtlety and a careful consideration of the finest details.

🔹The lessons he delivered, even when attended by no more than a handful of students, were renowned for their thorough research and meticulous analysis—and rightly so.

🔹By the grace of God, over the course of slightly more than the past three decades, many people had the opportunity to benefit, according to their own capacity, from his invaluable presence and to draw from his knowledge for their own scholarly circles and teaching. His company was a source of both imparting and acquiring knowledge—even when, after his lessons, he would walk toward his home. Beyond his undisputed scholarly stature, his humble and fatherly manner toward students and scholars was also evident and deeply instructive.

🔹Without doubt, the passing of this distinguished personality has left a void among the foremost Shia scholars of the present age, and filling this void may take a considerable length of time.

🔹I extend my condolences for this grievous loss to our Master [Imam Mahdi], may God hasten his noble reappearance; to the Islamic seminaries; and especially to his students and admirers, and most particularly to his noble household, a family that has nurtured generations of scholars and learned figures. I ask Almighty God, the Glorious and Exalted, to elevate the rank of this great scholar and grant him the highest degrees of divine grace.

💌Unity is not merely a sentiment. It is a responsibility the Ummah has yet to fully embrace.

🔻"If the Muslims had been a united hand, would the Palestinian nation have been left so defenseless in this way?"
