As part of the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of the great Islamic thinker, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (may his soul be sanctified), and inspired by his enlightened thought which laid the foundation for a comprehensive intellectual and humanitarian renaissance, the College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Karbala participated in organizing a cultural symposium titled:

“Human Development in the Thought of Martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (May His Soul Be Sanctified)”

The event was held in collaboration with the “Benaa” Project – Najaf Office.

The symposium was delivered by Professor Dr. Amjad Al-Fadhel, a professor of critical methodology and Islamic thought at the University of Karbala. He presented the foundational principles set by the martyr Sayyid al-Sadr for the development of a conscious human being capable of bearing the responsibility of change.
