On Monday, 9 May 2022, a ceremony was held at the Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies, and Dr Gholamali Haddad Adel talked about the value of teachers in society. Dr Haddal Adel is currently presiding Saadi Foundation and the Academy of Persian Language and Literature, two important academic and cultural institutes in Iran.

The important legacy that Shahid Motahhari left for our society is his rational view of religion, and to understand many of his works requires understanding the spacial and temporal conditions of his time. Those who are far from that time and place cannot make enough connection with that topic.

During the past twenty-five years, a huge volume of his works has been published. He wrote books for different levels. His book entitled Principles of Philosophy and the Method of Realism is one of his books used by philosophers. The same author wrote the book Dastan-e Rastan (The Anecdotes of Pious Men) for teenagers, and this is very amazing. The book was awarded with a Book of the Year Award by the National Commission for UNESCO.
