On May 6, 2019, AIT hosted a seminar on Moral Problems in Modern World and Way to Perfection with the participation of MP Ganira Pashayeva, Chairman of the public union Eurasia International Research Institute and Cemalnur Sargut, researcher of Islamic Tasawwuf.
Welcoming the event participants, AIT rector Jeyhun Mammadov noted that national and spiritual environment is protected in the country and Azerbaijan Institute of Theology was established by President Ilham Aliyev’s Decree dated February 9, 2018 for the education of professional religious specialists. The Rector further stressed that President Ilham Aliyev successfully continues state-religion policy formed by national leader Heydar Aliyev.
Jeyhun Mammadov noted that the primary task of the Institute is to educate high-level specialists with profound religious and secular knowledge. He outlined conferences, seminars and programs organized by the Institute apart from strong education. Emphasizing the relevance of the topic, the Rector mentioned the role of national and spiritual values in the development of youth and independent statehood tradition.
MP Ganira Pashayeva, Chairman of the public union Eurasia International Research Institute delivered a speech emphasizing the relevance of the topic Moral Problems in Modern World and Way to Perfection. She noted that promotion of national and spiritual values in the society widens its scope. Being the source of pride for the nation, national and spiritual values and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan have particular place in the world civilization. The state shows special care for this field and this gives us hopes for the positive future of non‐material culture of the country.
The MP noted that tasawwuf and the theme of theology are relevant in Azerbaijan where intercultural and interreligious dialogues are supported and international events are hosted. “Cemalnur Sargut visits Azerbaijan for the third time and her aim is to convey the beauty of the religion to younger generation. It is painful to see young people are drawn to radicalism under the cover-up of religion,” the MP said.
Cemalnur Sargut, researcher of Islamic Tasawwuf, author of the books Ayatul Kursi, Secret of Creation, The Truth of Insani Kamil, About Divine Love, Shams, The Woman Loved by the Prophet, The Truth of Kaba and other books, expressed her gratitude for her being in Azerbaijan. She said she considers the value given to her creative activity in the country more effective and memorable.
Delivering a speech on Moral Problems in Modern World and Way to Perfection, Cemalnur Sargut noted that regardless of their belief, all humans search for perfect man in their soul. “Humans should be architects of their own life,” said the author sharing her ideas on tasawwuf philosophy. She mentioned the importance of the development of youth loyal to their national and spiritual values. She also emphasized the importance of joint activity of Turkic nations.
At the end, the guests responded to various questions from the audience and signed their books.
