Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – In a meeting with Ayatollah Arafi the head of Iranian seminaries, Grand Ayatollah Sobhani emphasized the need to alter some of the seminary training methods and said, “Principles and courses of Islamic seminary should be presented to the students in a succinct and concise way, as the conditions of schooling and education have changed, comparing to the past.”
