A problem-centered and thought-provoking dialogue with Mohammadreza Salamat and Dr. Mostafa Malekian

Join us on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at 7:00 AM (PST) for a problem-centered and thought-provoking dialogue with Mohammadreza Salamat and Dr. Mostafa Malekian titled: “Prayer on the Scale of Rationality and Spirituality”

This program will be streamed live on the ICCNC YouTube Channel.

Biographies

Mostafa Malekian was born on June 2, 1956, in Shahreza, Isfahan Province. He initially studied mechanical engineering at the University of Tabriz but left the field after two years to pursue his true interest in the humanities. He then ranked first in the national entrance exam and entered the Department of Islamic Philosophy at the University of Tehran.

After graduating in 1979, he continued his studies in Islamic philosophy and mysticism at the Qom Seminary while also beginning a master’s program in philosophy, which he later left in favor of independent study. Over time, his interests shifted increasingly toward Western philosophy.

Malekian lived in Qom from 1979 to 1997 and taught at several major Iranian universities, including the University of Tehran, Imam Sadiq University, Tarbiat Modares University, and Sharif University of Technology. Since 2009, his teaching activities have been limited to non-governmental institutions.
