The College of Medicine at the University of Karbala organized a scientific religious symposium on the occasion of the birth of Imam Mahdi (May Allah Hasten His Reappearance), attended by several professors, students, and those interested in religious and intellectual matters.
The symposium featured a lecture by His Eminence Ayatollah Hadi Al-Modarresi, who discussed the intellectual and doctrinal dimensions of Imam Mahdi (May Allah Hasten His Reappearance) and his role in achieving global justice. He also highlighted the historical and spiritual significance of this blessed occasion, emphasizing the deep relationship between medicine and religious commitment, considering it one of the most critical matters a physician must adhere to, as the medical oath represents religious and national commitment that authorizes them to work with human lives.
The college administration stated that this symposium is part of cultural activities aimed at enhancing religious and intellectual awareness among students and enriching the discussion on important doctrinal issues. On the sidelines of the symposium, the Dean of the College of Medicine, Professor Dr. Khaled Khalil Al-Araji, and the administrative assistant of the college, Assistant Professor Dr. Basheer Aqeel Al-Ali, welcomed His Eminence Ayatollah Hadi Al-Modarresi and several prominent figures from the religious seminary at the college administration. They emphasized that medicine and Islamic law are like a ladder leading to a desired goal, with ethical and medical standards working side by side in their work. Additionally, His Eminence Al-Modarresi presented a scientific encyclopedia from his recent publications to Dr. Khaled Al-Araji as an expression of his gratitude and appreciation for the College of Medicine and the University of Karbala, praying for success in serving the city of the Master of Martyrs (Peace be upon him).
At the end of the symposium, attendees participated in discussions, posing several questions and inquiries that enriched the conversation and added a deeper dimension to the topic.
