As a leading university in providing a scholarly and academic environment for topics in Humanities, Mofid University was founded in 1989by great efforts of late Grand Ayatollah Mousavi Ardebili (May God sanctify his spirit); though the idea to establish such an institution to do research in humanities in connection with religious principles, had been formed in his mind some decades before 1980s. The initial idea based on systematic methods to train the future generation first appeared in 1960s in the form of Mofid schools and Maktab-e Mofid. By removal of obstacles and support of many intellectuals and prominent figures in approximating religious ideas and current issues in the world, MU started its activity as one of the few special universities in the field of Humanities in Iran, the first university in Qom, and one of the few private universities in Iran. In fact, the main objective of late Ardebili and his associates of founding and expanding such a system was to develop a school of thought that today, after several decades of effort and thinking, it can be called as a religious intellectualism within the framework of religious tradition called «School of Mofid». Such organized activities based on the initial idea mentioned above, are what we inherit from our predecessors and from people of knowledge and religion; and that is what MU follows as one of its main objectives.
