Advanced Member Abdulhujjah Posted March 17, 2004 Advanced Member Report Posted March 17, 2004 (bismillah) You become an Ayatullah generally when u reach the level of ijtihad, meaning you have finished tertiary study in 7awza and you got a PHD, some people attain it quickly others take long. Good example of early achievement is Sayyed Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr.You are already an Ayatullah, these days people are becoming RabbThanks for the info, but if you knew arabic you would know that we are all Ayatullah and some of us a rabbs.Wasslaaam Quote

Advanced Member Abdulhujjah Posted March 17, 2004 Advanced Member Report Posted March 17, 2004 (bismillah) The term rabb means lord true. Now if I own a house, I'm referred to in arabic as Rabb al bait... The Lord of the home. If I own a slave Im referred to as Rabb al abd. Lord/Master of the slave.capiche Quote

Advanced Member Orion Posted March 17, 2004 Advanced Member Report Posted March 17, 2004 Jakallah. But when going to any hawza the difficult thing would be the language...Arabic or Farsi. You do need to learn the language. (bismillah) (salam) I asked similar question to those who went to hawza. Their answer was. "Learning the language was the easiest of all".In other words, once you are there in the envioronment reading books, talking to people you learn the language fast.WS Quote
Chatroom Moderators Ali Naqi Posted March 17, 2004 Author Chatroom Moderators Report Posted March 17, 2004 (salam) Apart fromthat do you need any specific qualifications for becoming an Ayatullah or Allama.Ali Quote

Chatroom Moderators Ali Naqi Posted March 17, 2004 Author Chatroom Moderators Report Posted March 17, 2004 (salam) I think its between 20 to 40 years to become an Ayatullah. Anyways if you wanna become an Ayatullah you have to give time.Ali Doctor_Naqvi 1 Quote
jang Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 (salam) you cant become an Ayatollah as its only Allah who makes one Quote
Advanced Member Orion Posted March 17, 2004 Advanced Member Report Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) Apart fromthat do you need any specific qualifications for becoming an Ayatullah or Allama.(bismillah) (salam) These titles of "Ayatullah" or "Allamah" are not degrees that one gets after reading a certain number of books or attaending these many hours of classes. These are titles used to show respect to senior scholars.So if someone has completed 20 or 30 years of his studies, become a Mujtahid, has become a teacher at the university (hawza), written books and has proven his authority in different subjects, others scholars who recognize his abilities start identifying him as a Hujjat al-Islam or Ayatullah. Similarly after years of research, writing books, teaching or gaining experience senoir Ayatullahs are recognized as Grand Ayatullahs or Ayatullah al-Uzma. As far as real "Allamah" is concerned there are very fiew in history like Allamah Hilli.Also I have not seen scholars write these titles in front of their name. They are very humble people and simply write their name. WS Edited March 17, 2004 by Orion Quote

Advanced Member fREAk Posted March 27, 2006 Advanced Member Report Posted March 27, 2006 You sure were ...To become an Ayatullah you need to study upto level of ijtihad , which you could finish in 10 years , usually more unless you are very smart and study at a faster rate . I was told 10-12 years for an above average(smart) person . May even take upto 16 if you are below average .As for becoming a Grand Ayatullah who can issue verdicts that takes years after ur ijtihad And i heard that there is hawza in English even in Iran , but Arabic( for Quran) and Farsi are must to learn there.
