Abstract

A glance at Razavi narratives shows that Imam Reza rectified people’s false beliefs regarding God. Most people had humanly perceptions of divine attributes. For them, God would become angry the way men did. Negating anthropomorphism of God, Imam Reza defined attributes such as guile, ridicule, ruse, knowledge, etc in a way that they would not create any imperfection in God. Besides, a practical method is evident for proof of God in Razavi narratives. He also answered the question of secrecy and divine Ehtejab and ascribed it to human sins. Today in religious philosophy, discussions such as proof of God, language of religion and divine secrecy are among the most dynamic ones and various theories are presented about them. These indicate that taking into account the Prophet (PBUH) and Imams’ narratives including Razavi ones can provide grounds for more accurate presentation of theoretical beliefs in modern language.
