and Allameh Tabatabeis Viewpoints
Mohsen Fattahi Ardakani

Abstract:In Islam history, there have always been problems about status and function
of reason in religious educations. This study deals with analyzing this topic from Ibn
Taymiyyeh and Allameh Tabatabei introduced himself as a rationalist, he believes that intellectual perceptions are not
independent reasons. In his opinion, religious recognition and knowledge are possible
only through a religious path and this path also involves rational reasons and definite
proofs but the path of theology, scholars, and also the path of austerity and mysticism
are innovations. On the contrary, Allameh believes that rational understanding, along
with religious aspects, austerity path and carnal endeavors includes intrinsic authority.

Abstract: The book orientalists about the Quran and the history of the Islam History. The writer of this
book, Noldeke, is an eminent orientalist who has written books in different fields of
orientalism. The above-mentioned book which is his most important work in this
regard includes topics such as revelation studies, collection and compilation of the
Quran as well as the date of the revelation of verses and surahs of the Quran that the
paper deals with the topics of the first type. From Noldeke
prophecy relies on four principles including: having connection with the previous
prophets, adherence to emotional instinct, using imagination in receiving revelation,
and creating social changes. This type of viewpoint toward the nature of prophecy
which is related to the theory of religious experience about revelation, in addition to
being out of the essence of the teachings of the divine religions, is in opposition with
Islamic religious thought and faces some problems within each one of these principles.
Keywords: Noldeke, the Quran History, Prophecy, Revelation, Instinct, Power of
Imagination, Finding by Heart.

Explaining Embodiment of Actions Based on the Order of General
Realms of Existence (Matter, Imagination, Intellect)
1
Jafar Hodaei
Abstract:Visualization and embodiment of actions are among the most complex topics of
resurrection about which there are many ideas whether it is rational or irrational. Even some
theologians, because of believing in accidental state of the actions and incapability of
accident for life, have rejected the embodiment of the actions in terms of reason. Every
object, idea, action and creature has a single truth in three worlds of matter, imagination,
and intellect that this reality in each one of these worlds will take a certain status and form
appropriate to the conditions of that world and will be dressed by the clothes of that world
while these worlds have sequence and compliance with each other. As a result, after
repetition of actions by human, they will have lasting effects on soul and become regular,
then, by being established in the essence of soul, they will transfer to the other worlds with
human soul and will turn into Mumaththal, the thing appeared as imagination, there. Some
verses of the Quran also confirm the three worlds and existence of objects with a single
truth in these worlds. The purpose of the present paper is to analyze and explain the
existence and form of human actions rationally within each one of these three worlds.
Keywords: Actions Embodiment, Imagination, Three Worlds, Inebriety, Habits, Accident,
Esoteric Forms.

Abstract: Believing in the Return is proved based on traditional reasons in Allameh

"
dealt with proving the origin and manner of return by using a rational method. Due to
the meaning system of the verses and narrations, Allameh Tabatabei considers the
Return as one of the degrees of God " based on rational arguments while Imam Khomeini, in addition to accepting the
principle of raj`at based on traditional reasons, has proved the quality of raj`at by
assumption of stages of the worlds of existence and correspondence of those stages
with the stages of the soul as well as by explicating the developmental status of human
soul subject to the return in the expression of angelic imagination of human soul.
Therefore, the principle of return in view of these two great scholars, is provable with
both theological and interpretive methods as well as philosophical and mystical ones
within two fields of ontology and anthropology that both of them are within the realm
of the truth of monotheism. In addition to having traditional principles and reasons, this

Abstract:For Allameh Tabatabaei, the only path toward perfection is self-consciousness
and like Mulla Sarda, he believes that since a contingent being is realized by connection
to God, its knowledge is the same as connection; therefore, knowing God is prior to all
other types of knowledge even realizing self-consciousness. Allameh has mentioned at
least five reasons for this claim that their recognition for the first time has been taken
placed in this paper and some questions and doubts are answered while it should be
mentioned that having knowledge about God is a light by which everything is known and
there is no other veil between God and creatures except them.

and important issue being discussed in various religious and philosophical schools. For
some of them, human is good-natured while for some others he is bad-natured and for
