“Be a scholar, or a student, or an admirer of the people of knowledge. And do not be anything else, or you will perish through animosity to them.”
In accordance with this narration by Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, Islam enjoins all Muslims to connect themselves to the tradition of learning, teaching, and preserving knowledge to the extent of their abilities—whether as scholars, students, or admirers and facilitators of the process of learning. In the spirit Imām Jaʿfar al-Ṣadiq’s words, the Ahl al-Bayt Islamic Seminary encourages all members of the community to join the Seminary’s mission and contribute to its success.
