Guidelines for Those in Charge of Ideological Awareness Units in Universities
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you, and may Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you. May Allah welcome you, our Shaykh, and may Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, place the steps you have taken to come to us in the scale of your good deeds. In truth, the university today is celebrating and elevating the status of knowledge and its people by hosting you, our Shaykh. It is not unusual for our university, the University of the Assembly. Our Shaykh, in my capacity as the supervisor of the Ideological Awareness Unit, and this unit now exists in all our blessed universities in this blessed land, I ask Your Eminence, who is a kind father to us, for advice to direct to those in charge of the Ideological Awareness Units in Saudi universities. We are currently, under the direction of His Royal Highness Prince Muhammad bin Nayf (may Allah preserve him), the Crown Prince, who has directed all universities to establish these units, the Ideological Awareness Units. In our university, we established this unit, and we also established a sub-unit in every college. But we want from you, (may Allah preserve him), a kind, fatherly guidance regarding these units and what you would urge them to focus on in their field?
The Shaykh:
May Allah bless you. This is great news that these channels have been opened in the universities to combat this misguided thought and misguided ideas. So, those in charge of them must seek help from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and be patient, and they must do what has been entrusted to them, first what Allah has made obligatory upon them, and second what has been entrusted to them, for it has become their responsibility and under their accountability. Also, each one should not limit himself to his own specific field, but should seek help from Allah, then from his other brothers; they should advise one another, encourage one another, take guidance from one another, and cooperate in solving the problems that confront them. They should consult, and it would be good if they held a meeting among themselves monthly, weekly, or as needed, where they gather, consult, present the problems they have, and study their solutions. This would be part of cooperating in righteousness and piety and protecting the society. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
Peace.
