TEHRAN – Students are expected to pursue scientific, religious, and ethical edification, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote to Europe-based Islamic student associations on Friday, his website reported.

“It is expected that you impact your surrounding atmosphere — by means of words and deeds — and attract more followers to the path of God,” Ayatollah Khamenei wrote.

“In the asymmetric war of the front of Kufr (disbelief) and arrogance against the raised flag of pure Islam, this is the duty for us all.”
