Promote Persian Scriptures

Promote translations of religious literature

The Arabic language has long been viewed as superior, especially in matters of faith. The time is ripe to challenge this belief, promote Islamic literature in Persian, and even translate important hadiths. This might not endear me to the Arabs or to conservative vassals and clerics, but the people deserve to know … in their own tongue, like they did in days of old.
