The continuation and development of political governance based on religion, a system established in Islamic Iran through the extensive scientific and practical efforts of scholars and religious people, requires the expansion and deepening of scientific theorization with religious approaches. Innovation and production of the human knowledge in a manner that theorizes and explains how religion might be actively and effectively present in the areas of "human education" and "social administration" would be one of the most important necessities for consolidation of the Islamic Revolution. This will be possible only through the interaction between the “Hawzah” as a representative of religious scholarship and depositary of traditional knowledge, and the “university” as a representative of modern science. In the early years after the Islamic revolution, this vision entitled "Hawzah-university conformity", has sparked numerous scientific streams and movements. In this regard, the existence of the holy Mashhad Hawzah, which is antique and solid due to the presence of the holy shrine of Imam Reza in this city, along with the prestigious and long-standing Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, has provided a unique opportunity for a successful intellectual synthesis between Islam and modernity. In 2006, ways for Hawzah-university conformity in the holy Mashhad were addressed during meetings between the professors from the Hawzah and the universities, so that investigation of goals, programs, and performance of similar centers has led to the establishment of the “Institute for Islamic Studies in Humanities”. The institute is committed to attracting scientific research to the epistemological and philosophical foundations of the humanities, discourse-making for Islamic humanities, and presenting models for social life consistent with religious values. Currently, the institute comprises four research departments (Islamic Economics, Islamic Management, Islamic Education, and Islamic Law & Jurisprudence) along with a specialized library housing more than 3,500 books on various subjects.
