Background:
The Imam Mahdi Seminary (IMS) was established in 1996 as an
educational charitable organization, the aim of which is to uplift the
standard of Islamic teachings and provide affordable high quality courses to
people all over the world.
Although our educational resources are based on the divine
teachings of Islam through the holy Qur’an, the prophet Mohammad and his
infallible progeny peace be on them, we do not believe in imposing predetermined set of ideas.
Our policy is to listen and analyze all points of view and ideologies in order
to reach the best conclusion in line with teachings of the holy Qur’an:
Give good news to My servants. Those who listen to the
word, then follow the best of it. 39:17-18
