Statements [Teaching in Qum preferable to the present position (as Leader of the Revolution)]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

I prefer one day in Qum as a cleric to my present position and I shall come to Qum whenever possible.

(The Imam also stressed that) the Qum seminary should continue to focus on teaching Islamic sciences, and particularly jurisprudence, and should preserve the thousand-year-old tradition of the Shi`ah jurists.
