About Razavi University of Islamic Sciences
Acquiring the Islamic knowledge and science is an undeniable necessity and a lasting fact, as old as the Islamic creed itself. It began with the Qur'anic message recommending: "Migrate to acquire knowledge", and continued all through the time until it fully bloomed at the time when Imam Jafar Sadiq, peace be upon him, established a school in Madinah in which all those fond of knowledge gathered together. This school, fully flourished in his time, continued for decades and centuries and was the seed for the blooming and established of Shi'ite religious centres which kept the banner of the Revealed knowledge hoisted throughout the world. In the present era, it is the Razavi University of Islamic Sciences which as a non-governmental institute benefits from the experience of the learned men and the Orient and the Occident, and can offer a system of learning and acquiring knowledge, suitable and well-tested. Razavi University of Islamic Sciences, was founded in 1984 by the efforts of the esteemed representative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the Grand Reverend Custodian of the holy shrine of Imam Reza(A.S.)[Astan Quds Razavi], His Holiness Ayatullah Abbas Vaez Tabassi.

This university, emphasing the continuation of its seminary identity functions as one of the official institutes of higher education of Iran.
