چکیده:
A fundamental challenge of our time is the immense number of doctrinal skepticisms regarding divinity, promoted by deviant sects. A method that could be adopted to counter such skepticisms and deviations is Imam al-Ṣādiq’s approach to doctrines like divine anthropomorphism (tashbīh) and corporealism (tajsīm). Drawing upon historical data and employing a descriptive-analytic method, this research seeks to answer the following question: What were Imam al-Ṣādiq’s theoretical and practical approaches to divine anthropomorphism and corporealism? The Imam’s responses to these deviations can be summarized as follows: (1) creating an intellectual movement in the society of that time, and (2) combating anthropomorphism and corporealism about God. In this theoretical movement, the Imam engaged in debates and addressed skepticisms to refute anthropomorphism, aiming to guide people to the correct understanding through intellectual exchanges. Subsequently, he dissociated from those who held deviant beliefs and declared them polytheists, actively opposing these erroneous doctrines.
