scholarly journals Explanation of the Methodological Error of Abul-Fadl Burqe’i about the Succession Verse of Imam Mehdi (A.S.)(Istikhlaf Verse)

Author(s):  
Samira Mahdinezhad

The Istikhlaf verse is the fifty-fifth verse of the Surah Nur, in which God gives the glad tidings of being successors of rulership of righteousness ones, spreading the religion and achieving peace, to those faithful who do good deeds. This verse is one of the verses which is interpreted as a proof on the uprising of hazrat Mahdi (a.s.). Abul-Fadl Burqe’i, having a background of being a Shia but moving towards a revisionist tendency, expressed some believes opposing the fundamental principles of Shiite and raised doubts in these principles. In his book "A Scientific Study on the Mahdi’s Hadiths," in the chapter of "Ayyat al-Mu'wala Be-Qiyyam al-Qa'im, الآيات المؤوله بقيام القائم ", he attempts to reject the opinion of majority of Shiite commentators that say the reference of the Promised Government is in the " Istikhlaf verse ",  is Imam Mahdi and his companions. In this way, through fallacy in the words of the Imamiyah scholars such as Sheikh Tusi in Tebyan, Tabarsi in the Majma’ Al-Bayan and Abul-Futtuh in Ruh al-Jinan he tried to show that they agreed him. This article seeks to evaluate his arguments in this regard by comparing the above-mentioned interpretations with those of Abul-Fadl Burqe’i.

Sociology of religion in the West is a field of knowledge with at least 100 years of history. As a science and as a discipline, the sociology of religion has been developing in most Western universities since the late nineteenth century, having established traditions, forming well-known schools, areas related to the names of famous scholars. The total number of researchers of religion abroad has never been counted, but there are more than a thousand different centers, universities, colleges where religion is taught and studied. If we assume that each of them has an average of 10 religious scholars, theologians, then the army of scholars of religion is amazing. Most of them are united in representative associations of researchers of religion, which have a clear sociological color. Among them are the most famous International Society for the Sociology of Religion (ISSR) and the Society for Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR).

Статья посвящена малоизученному явлению – церковному инакомыслию, которое было порождено влиянием «советской духовности» не только на общество, но и на Церковь. Автор ставит проблему инакомыслия и диссидентства как явлений, выросших в недрах высшей советской номенклатуры и потом уже распространившихся на низшие слои, затронувшие и церковную среду. Апелляция к Западу, как к третейскому судье, была закономерным явлением советской действительности, что требует научной проработки и объяснения. The article is devoted to a little-studied phenomenon – church dissent, which was generated by the influence of "Soviet spirituality" not only on society, but also on the Church. The author poses the problem of dissent and dissidentism as phenomena that grew up in the the higher Soviet nomenclature and then spread to the lower layers, affecting the church environment. An appeal to the West as an arbitrator was a natural phenomenon of Soviet reality, which requires scientific study and explanation.

This introductory chapter briefly presents the conflict in Yellowstone, elaborates on the book's theoretical argument, and specifies its substantive and theoretical contributions to the social scientific study of environment, culture, religion, and morality. The chapter argues that the environmental conflict in Yellowstone is not—as it would appear on the surface—ultimately all about scientific, economic, legal, or other technical evidence and arguments, but an underlying struggle over deeply held “faith” commitments, feelings, and desires that define what people find sacred, good, and meaningful in life at a most basic level. An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.
