In a meeting with the officials of the Allameh Bahabadi Yazdi Congress, Dr. Reza Gharoq, Executive Vice President and Human Resources Development of the Research Institute of Contemporary History of Iran, said: Holding the Allameh Bahabadi Congress is a priority action in the current situation. 

In order to build its future, a society needs to know its history and it needs to know the scientific and social services of the thinkers of the Shiite world, especially in the 10th century and the Safavid era.

From another dimension of the Congress, the question is raised that we need classical texts in the new era and why this issue is important for our contemporary society and what we need it for. The study of the history of civilizations shows that classical texts are important for life in the discussion of civilization, without these resources and background, it is not possible for us to have the capacity to build civilization in the new era, and if we want to have a logical and theological system, surely Allameh Bahabadi is in this civilization. Modern Islam has a role and it should be investigated what special work it had in this system and logical and theological school and what position it had in its time and what was its relationship with politics and governance.

You should definitely see Mullah Abdullah Yazdi's margins with logical and theological centers and logic professors to understand what innovation Allameh had compared to other logicians and theologians.

Another issue is identity, we must know what we were and what we did in the past and then move on to the future. At the same time, we should know what is our problem? Based on what happened in the past and what we will need in the future, write different scenarios to make less mistakes. The identity debate is the one that you work on, and you should have the identity debates in the congress and do not be satisfied with this Allameh himself, and look for what platforms were created for the presence of the clergy in the political and social arena with the coming of the Safavids. and what was the role and performance of the clergy in the Shiite government.

In my opinion, you should pay attention to Sheikh Kirki and to Moghaddis Ardabili in this congress. Be sure to look at the situation of Iran in that period and the situation of the Uzbeks, the Ottomans, the economic and social situation of the Iranian people, the situation of the seminaries and the textbooks of that period and create an attractive picture. Also, check how the educational and research system of the seminaries was. What was the type of interaction with the Safavid Shiite court and government?

The revival of Allameh's works and the introduction of his scientific personality is actually a glorification of the status of science and clergy, especially since he was in the critical period of the beginning of the Safavid era, and there were many external threats and internal wars, and the role of the clergy was very decisive at that historical moment.
