Methodology of Answering Religious Questions and Doubts - 1 - The Importance of Questioning; Answering and Methodology مقاله

For example, as will be shown soon, one of the principles of answering is paying attention to the scientific subject that has been asked about; for instance, when a question is about theological discussions, it cannot be answered using a jurisprudential method. Debate sessions involving the Shiite Imams, as well as the books responding to questions and doubts written by Sheikh Mufid and other Shiite greats, are evidence of this claim. The practical way of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and the Imams (peace be upon them) was also responding; they not only answered questions personally but also recounted the many rewards that God has ordained for respondents, and they requested their knowledgeable companions to be responsive to the people. One of the prominent aspects of the practical conduct of religious leaders is responding to religious questions and doubts, as Tabarsi, in the introduction of his book, points to an important point that was the reason for writing the book al-Ihtijaj, and writes: A group of companions abandoned correct debate and considered it contrary to the conduct of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and the Imams (peace be upon them), and they assumed that the leaders of religion were neither debaters themselves nor did they allow the Shia to engage in debate. 7 In addition to responding to questions and doubts, the Shia Imams trained scholars who, with remarkable power and ability, would appear in the fields of discussion and dialogue, answer questions, and provide scholarly defense of the school of thought.
