In the period of Kashif al-Ghita' there was a serious intellectual quarrel between [[Usuli]] and [[Akhbari]] scholars, with each trying to demonstrate their own view and reject that of their opponents. Trained in the Usuli school of [[Wahid Bihbahani]] and fond of [[Ijtihad]], Kashif al-Ghita' defended the use of reasoning and deduction for religious beliefs and the laws of [[shari'a]] and made a case for [[principles of Islamic jurisprudence]]. | In the period of Kashif al-Ghita' there was a serious intellectual quarrel between [[Usuli]] and [[Akhbari]] scholars, with each trying to demonstrate their own view and reject that of their opponents.

The quarrel was considerably exemplified in his serious debate with [[Mirza Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Nabi Niyshaburi]] (d. 1232/1816), the well-known Akhbari scholar. After this, Mirza Muhammad went to Iran and took refuge to [[Fath 'Ali Shah]], the [[Qajar]] king. Kashif al-Ghita' wrote a book under ''Kashf al-ghita' 'an ma'ayib Mirza Muhammad 'aduww al-'ulama'' (Unveiling the cover from the flaws of Mirza Muhammad, the enemy of scholars) which was a rejection of Mirza Muhammad's views and sent it to the Iranian king. He then went to Iran and negotiated with the king until the Qajar king dismissed Mirza Muhammad from his palace. | The quarrel was considerably exemplified in his serious debate with [[Mirza Muhammad b.
