Abstract: (3 Views) |
In the thought of Mirza Mahdi Isfahani, knowing the Prophet is based on the innate knowledge of God. On this basis, the servants are innately knowers of God, and with the reminding of the Prophet, they both remember God and realize the truthfulness and honesty of his claim, and this is the very testimony of God to the truthfulness of His messenger. Furthermore, the Prophet's guidances to the dictates of the intellect - which are often neglected - are another witness to the truthfulness of the Prophet's claim. On the other hand, knowing the Prophet is innate like knowing God and has been given to humans in previous worlds. From Mirza Isfahani's point of view, the mere breaking of natural habits (khariq al-'adah) in a miracle does not prove prophethood; rather, the reminding of the monotheistic innate nature and the compatibility of the miracle's content with the dictates of the intellect, as well as the arousal of intellects - especially in the Noble Quran - prove the Prophet's speech.
