In a special online meeting, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) engaged with a group of female students from Najaf Islamic University, representing countries including India, Pakistan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, the United States, Canada, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The meeting was held through a virtual platform, with His Eminence addressing them from his central office in Najaf.

During the meeting, Grand Ayatollah Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) stressed the importance of adhering to four fundamental principles in the pursuit of knowledge. "These core principles are essential for anyone who truly seeks knowledge," His Eminence said, explaining that his own academic journey involved six key practices, but he was asking the students to focus on four, promising that mastering these would naturally lead them to grasp the remaining two.

The four principles highlighted by His Eminence include: thoroughly reviewing lessons before attending class, focusing attentively on the instructor's words and gestures during the lecture, engaging in discussions with classmates post-lesson to solidify understanding, and consistently revisiting study materials from the beginning.

“These principles are more than guidelines; they are a roadmap for any student striving for academic excellence," Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) added, emphasizing the importance of preparation, focus, and active engagement with peers as tools for deeper understanding and creating an effective learning environment.

Grand Ayatollah Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) reminded the students that acquiring knowledge is not a passive process. "It is an interactive journey that requires dedication and strong willpower," he noted, further adding that the pursuit of knowledge is a vital tool for personal and societal growth. The meeting ended with His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) offering prayers for the students' success and encouraging them to maintain piety, emphasizing the need to lead by example through their actions.

The students expressed their gratitude for the valuable insights shared by Grand Ayatollah Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life), and the meeting concluded with a collective hope for ongoing success in their academic endeavors.

The session underscores the Grand Ayatollah’s (may Allah prolong his life) commitment to supporting and guiding the younger generation of scholars, especially in a time when education and knowledge are more crucial than ever for societal development.
