What is Hawza?
The Hawza is more than an institution; it is a thousand-year-old ecosystem of learning. Unlike modern fragmented education, the Hawza system integrates rational sciences with spiritual purification.
The Socratic Method: A unique tradition of debate (mubahatha) where students master texts through peer discussion.
Intellectual Depth: Moving beyond rote memorization to the mastery of Logic, Jurisprudence, and Metaphysics.
Cultivation of 'Adab': The development of character and spiritual etiquette as the foundation of all scholarship.
