Ayatullah S. Mujtaba Nur Mufidi: The Contemporary Jurisprudence Research Center is the answer to the current issues and challenges of the Islamic society.

Ayatullah Seyyed Mujtaba Noormafidi, the head of the Contemporary Jurisprudence Research Center, also cited a valuable hadith about the high position of jurisprudence in religion and stated: This research Center was founded with inspiration from the necessities and needs of the Islamic Ummah today, in order to explore various jurisprudential issues with a profound and methodical approach and to answer the questions of the time.

He continued, referring to the missions of this scientific institution, and stated: The main focus of the research center is based on two basic axes; first, fundamental research that explains the foundations, principles, and theoretical frameworks of jurisprudence, and second, applied research that is designed and implemented with the aim of responding to the everyday problems and challenges of society so that jurisprudence has an active and effective presence in the context of contemporary life.

The head of the Contemporary Jurisprudence Research Center stated: “In the history of Islam, scientific trends have always had a dynamic presence in two fundamental and applied formats, and the superiority of each of these two approaches has arisen from the specific needs and requirements of each period; as the developments of time have determined the direction of research and shaped the path of religious thought.” Referring to the scientific structure of the research center, Ayatullah Nur Mufidi said: “Currently, 11 scientific groups consisting of 40 prominent seminary teachers are active in this center, and more than 30 research project contracts have been concluded with various scientific centers and institutions so far.” Emphasizing the need for effective communication and cooperation with scientific centers and avoiding parallel work, he added: “Over the past five years, this complex has succeeded in holding more than 200 prominent scientific meetings and has published 26 scientific journal subjects, which is a testament to its dynamism and problem-oriented approach in the field of jurisprudential studies.”Also, the Comprehensive Portal of Contemporary Jurisprudence has been launched with the aim of producing content, managing knowledge, and providing specialized services in the field of contemporary jurisprudence, which includes various sections such as the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Jurisprudence, the Digital Library of Contemporary Jurisprudence, courses outside of Contemporary Jurisprudence, electronic journals, scientific meetings, and the research center’s information base.
