🌐 The Contemporary & Ideological Track at Jamia Urwa-tul-Wusqa
This track distinguishes Jamia Urwa-tul-Wusqa from many other traditional seminaries by focusing on political relevance, modern knowledge, and ideological commitment. The goal is to produce scholars who are informed ideological leaders capable of engaging with the modern world.

🧠 Core Ideological Studies
- Political Worldview: Central to the curriculum is the intensive study of the Islamic Revolution and the principles of Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist), drawing heavily on the political philosophy of Imam Khomeini.
- Focus on 'Shaoor' (Consciousness): A primary objective is to foster deep political and social consciousness. Lectures and discussions regularly address:
- Contemporary global issues.
- Media critique and propaganda analysis.
- The political economy and historical analysis of the Muslim world.
📚 Integrated Academic Channels
- Sirat Education School System: The Jamia runs parallel programs that offer contemporary secular subjects (like Science, Mathematics, History, and Social Studies) alongside the religious curriculum up to the intermediate level. This ensures students receive a balanced education that prevents intellectual isolation.
- Modern Languages: Compulsory learning of English and Persian is highly emphasized, alongside Arabic. This linguistic competence allows students to:
- Access global academic and political thought (English).
- Study key philosophical and political texts directly from the Qom Seminary tradition (Persian).
🤝 Strategic Goal
The ultimate purpose of the Contemporary Track is to equip students to be "Musleh" (Reformers) and "Mujahid" (Strivers for Justice), enabling them to apply their religious knowledge to bring about comprehensive social and political change.
