Abstract

After Jesus (pbuh), deviations arose among his followers and with time heresies became stronger. One of these deviations was the belief in the divinity of Christ. The Quran has clearly rejected this question and the Sunnah has criticized this corrupt faith wherever it has had the opportunity. Including the debate of Imam Reza (AS) with the great Christians, whose report was of course documentary and substantively flawed. This research has documented the evidence used in the arguments of Imam Reza (AS) in Ahdin to strengthen this debate, demonstrate the high capacity of Islam against dissenters, and invalidate the divinity that preachers attempted to spread. The information of this research was collected according to the library method and the arguments of the debate in the three axes of worship, miracles and explanation of contradictions, and then documented in the covenants according to the people whose names were mentioned.
