With receiving assistance from proficient and well-grounded artists and directors, the office continued its activity preparing proper, modern and required equipment in a professional, serious and rigorous manner, since the year 2005.

At present, more than one thousand hours of video and audio files have been collected at the office recorded from:

•    Mourning ceremonies and celebrations, and
•    Public meetings

According to Allamah Mohammad Taqi Ja'fari: ''This collection is a treasure that its value will be known in the years to come."

In that period, the many scholars and students of Grand Ayatollah Bahjat (may God bless his soul) insisted on establishing a research, scientific and cultural institute to promote his works, while he refused to establish the institute because he believed that it is necessary for us to publish and promote books and manuscripts left by previous scholars.

Finally, with obtaining Ayatollah Bahjat's consent, the center was registered by the title'' Al-Bahjat Institute'' in 2008, and he also became a Member of the Board of the Institute. Unfortunately, his tragic death and heavenly ascension on the 17th of May 2009, did not allow him to get taste these Sweet days more than a few months.

In all his life, he did not give permission to spend even a penny of Khums for the expenses of the institute, and also for publishing his Islamic practical laws' book (Taudhihul Masael).

After his passing, the center received a warm and tremendous welcome from different types of people, especially the youth in spite of the financial and manpower problems, and by the grace of God and the holly Imam of our time, Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) has continued its activity so far.

We are striving constantly to publish and promote his academic and ethical works in various, favorable and high-quality forms (Text, media, software and website) and products.
