Sayyid 'Ali Qadi Tabataba'i: Difference between revisions

Qadi criticized the educational system and some textbooks of the [[Sh'ia Seminary|Seminary]]. He believed that the textbooks should be replaced by new ones. Even he wanted [['Abbas Quchani]], his student, to rewrite ''[[Jawahir al-Kalam]]'' by [[Muhammad Hasan Najafi]], so he rewrote 21 volumes (of 43 volumes) of the book with his own research and marginal notes. They were published in 1986, [[Tehran]].

He persuaded [[Mirza Ibrahim Sharifi]], his son-in-law, and [[Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i]] into composing a book on the conduct of [[the Prophet (s)]] from [[Shi'a]]'s point of view, since most of such books have been composed by non-Shiites. He advised his students to study the history of [[Islam]] from the birth of the Prophet (s) to the birth of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]]. He also persuaded them to study [[theoretical mysticism]] and [[philosophy]]. 'Abbas Quchani, his student, was the only one who taught philosophy in [[Najaf]] at that time.
