Ayatollah Sobhani describes Wahhabism as main enemy of Shia

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.”

The senior cleric described Wahhabism as the main enemy of Shia and noted, “All of Wahhabi ideas and beliefs are summarized in 18 concise lessons.” His Eminence suggested the Supreme Council of the Seminary to add the aforementioned lessons to the curriculum of seminary students to enable clerics to clear doubts in this regard.
