God

Abstract:   (95 Views)
Throughout the history of mankind, the belief in God has been the most popular tendency. The major reason for this belief is the innate knowledge of God. While calling the people to God, the prophets reminded them of this knowledge. After this intuition, they submitted and believed. Therefore, passing through the three levels of "ta‛rīf" (acknowledging), "tadhakkur" (reminding), and "taslīm" (submitting), they reach the level of "belief". The innate knowledge is granted by God. It has been given to the people in the previous worlds like "the world of the spirits", or "the world of particles"; and they have been made to testify of God’s Lordship. After entering this world, the humans have forgotten this knowledge; but the essence of that knowledge has remained in the heart of the humans, and they recall it in different conditions. The environmental factors can not destroy it. The holy Qur'an and the Islamic hadiths testify it.
Keywords: Heart, fiţrat, the world of the spirits, the world of particles (dharr), ta‛rīf, tadhakkur, taslīm, īmān (belief)
