The Flag of Religion(evaluating positions and thoughts of Ayatollah Al-ozma Haj Hossein Boroujerdi)
Ayatollah Al-Ozma Boroujerdi, in the position of ”leader of the Islamic Nation”, tried to think of reviving the weakened Islamic customs more than before. Islamic customs and the Shia clergy, after the Constitution Revolution and in particular during the despotic rule of Reza Khan, had been severely weakened and the seminaries, which till the coming of Ayatollah Boroujerdi to Qum were on their last legs, needed acute nursing and reviving. Also, lack of a good cadre of leadership, unpreparedness of people and lack of propitious situation, persuaded the Ayatollah to avoid any and every kind of practical action to confront the rule(establishment) of the time. In addition, his observation of expediency also caused him to stay relatively away from political issues and revolting against the Shah, expediencies such as avoiding the abuse of foreigners and preventing harm on the seminaries added to the determination of Ayatollah Boroujerdi from physically confronting the regime Despite all these, he was never away from political issues.
