Biography

Ayatollah Saeid Sobhani was born in 1963 in Qom, into a prominent family deeply rooted in religious scholarship. His early education combined both formal schooling and spiritual instruction under the mentorship of his father, Grand Ayatollah Ja’far Sobhani.

From 1982 to 2002, he studied under the tutelage of distinguished scholars in Qom, mastering various disciplines including Arabic literature, logic, Islamic philosophy, Qur’anic exegesis, theological schools of thought (milal wa niḥal), the science of narrators and narrations (ʾilm al-rijāl and al-dirāyah), theology (kalām), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and the principles of jurisprudence (uṣūl al-fiqh).

His advanced seminary education was meticulously refined under the esteemed guidance of three senior Ayatollahs. He engaged in the study of exegetical sciences and philosophy under the distinguished Grand Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli, while his exploration of advanced jurisprudence was directed by the late Grand Ayatollah Mirza Javād Tabrīzī. Concurrently, he participated in his father’s esteemed lectures on uṣūl al-fiqh and theology. The profound influence of these three scholars was pivotal in shaping his intellectual framework. During this time, he also contributed to the academic community by holding teaching positions at several of Iran’s most prestigious universities and seminaries. After two decades of deep immersion in the scholarly and spiritual atmosphere of Qom, Ayatollah Sobhani transitioned to the United Kingdom in 2002, where he took on the role of a resident scholar and pursued further academic training within the Western intellectual tradition.

He subsequently earned an M.A. in Inter-Faith Relations from the University of Glasgow and a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Edinburgh.

He has authored numerous articles and books across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including theology, philosophy, jurisprudence, the principles of jurisprudence, Qur’anic exegesis, history, the science of hadith narrators, and the fundamentals of belief. His scholarly contributions have been published in English, Farsi, and Arabic, reflecting his expertise and influence in these fields.

Among his notable works are Rijal Studies: An Introduction (2023), Religious Diversity in Contemporary Shi‘i Thought(2022), and Nayl al-Watar min Qa‘idah la Darar (The Jurisprudential Maxim of No Harm, 1999).[3] [4] [5] [6]
