Science is an absolute necessity. You know this well, but I would like to point out that a country, which has no access to science, cannot expect to have glory, independence, identity, security, and well-being. That is the way of the world. Knowledge brings about power. There a sentence in Nahj al-Balagha that is very instructive: "Knowledge is grandeur." [Speaking in Arabic]. "Knowledge is power. Anyone who gains this power can rule and anyone who does not obtain it will be ruled." [Speaking in Arabic]. Anyone who gains this power can rule and triumph over the others. Anyone with no access to this power will be overpowered. Others will defeat and rule them.
