At the initiative of the Najaf al-Ashraf Center for Strategic Studies (NCSS), one of the centers affiliated with the Office of the Marjaiyya in the holy city of Najaf, two specialized academic sessions were convened with the participation of a number of scholars and researchers.

In the first program, the Department of Husayni Rites at the center organized the inaugural session for Husayni preachers under the title: “Essential Skills in the Art of Husayni Oratory: Methods of Delivery and Influence.” The session featured a keynote by Shaykh Kazim al-Shammari and was moderated by Shaykh Ghazi Kamil al-Shibli.

In the Grand Hall of the Najaf al-Ashraf Center, the eighteenth weekly jurisprudential session was held under the title: “Analytical Readings in Doctrinal Texts,” presented by Shaykh Ali al-Shibli.

These sessions aim to enhance the capabilities of preachers and to promote scholarly research in the fields of religious rites and doctrinal studies.
