The error of both philosophers and theologians regarding the issue of prophecies
0:15
Prophecy, as we mentioned earlier, is divine revelation to humans
0:21
There were two groups on this issue
0:25
Firstly, the philosophers
0:28
Where prophecy was made an acquired matter
0:31
A person achieves it by working hard, taming himself, and contemplating a lot
0:36
They ruled that it is impossible for any human being to receive revelation from God
0:41
Secondly, the speakers
0:44
They wanted to refute the philosophers' claim of abstract reason
0:48
In their usual way of presenting reason over text
0:53
They started from their three-fold division of mentalities
0:57
The rationally obligatory, the rationally impossible, and the rationally permissible
1:03
If philosophers have made prophecy meaning revelation
1:08
From the section of the mental impossible
1:11
The Mu'tazilites included it in the category of rational duty
1:15
The Ash'aris made it a part of the category of rational permissibility
1:19
The reason for their misguidance is in the issue of prophecies
1:23
It is their introduction of reason to the text and its arbitration over it
1:28
The final say is that prophecy, while permissible, is rational
1:32
What we have mentioned above indicates this
1:36
In the good conduct of the Prophet and his worship of his Lord
1:40
And consider the sincerity of the miracle that was with him
1:43
And God supported him with it
1:46
