Abstract:
Knowledge of God in the World of Dharr and its implications is one of the topics discussed in verses and traditions, and great thinkers have expressed their opinions regarding knowledge and the covenant in the World of Dharr. In this writing, the theories of 15 scholars from the 11th to the 13th centuries, from Sheikh Baha'i (d. 1030 AH) to Sayyid Abdullah Shubar (d. 1242 AH), are cited. Following these theories, topics such as the difference between the World of Dharr and the World of Souls, the taking of the covenant of Lordship and Guardianship, the precedence of the creation of the soul over the body, the Platonic ideal, doubts related to the World of Dharr, and the taking of the covenant from all beings are critically reviewed.
Machine summary:
3-2-Finally, after mentioning the aforementioned justifications and interpretations, Mulla Sadra expresses his own view as follows: إنّ الخطاب بقوله تعالی:«ألست بربّکم»فی أخذ المیثاق،کان لحقیقة الانسانالموجودة فی العالم الإلهی و الصقع الربوبی،فإنّ لکلّ نوع طبیعیّ حقیقةعقلیّة و صورة مفارقة و مثالا نوریّا فی عالم الحقائق العقلیّة و المثل الإلهیّة،هی the forms of what is in the knowledge of God according to the divine sages and the holy gnostics, and they used to call them the lords of species, believing that each of them is an angel entrusted by God's permission, to preserve the rest of the individuals of that species, which is its form with God in the world of detached forms and rational luminous archetypes; and its relation to them is like the relation of the root to the branches and the relation of light to shadows.
1 13-6-With attention to the aforementioned points, it becomes clear that from the perspective of the late Sayyid Ni'matullah Jazairi, the existence of the world of Dharr and the atomic human, his recognition of God Almighty, the Prophethood of the noble Prophet of Islam and other divine prophets, the Wilayah of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), and the taking of the covenant regarding adherence and steadfastness to what was acknowledged there, are matters such as: they have no contradiction or conflict with clear rational proofs, they are consistent with the firm principles of revealed knowledge, and believing in them presents no problem.
