Abstract:


The research undertakes serious efforts to have an access to philosophical and mystical views of Imam Khomeini and Allamah Tabataba’ei about the glorification of creatures especially the humans.


The author has seen the views of these two noble scholars closely and conducted a comparative study in this regard.


It is worth-mentioning that Imam Khomeini and Allamah Tabatabai’s ideals have too much proximity and are influenced by the transcendent wisdom, mystical and intellectual interpretations of the Islamic Shia school of thought. 


The both prominent scholars maintain that the glorification of all beings initially stems from certain qualities such as love for truth and devotion towards understanding and consciousness.


The two Muslim scholars also heavily relied on Qur'anic principles that explicitly glorify all beings and especially the mankind.


 They prove life, science, and consciousness for all beings, and universal knowledge for the entire existence and universe.


The glorification of beings in very essence would be impossible without knowing their sense for knowledge and awareness.


The author has followed the philosophical foundations and a range of theories surrounding the discussions such as: the originality of existence, skepticism of existence, simplicity of existence, and substantive motion.


The researcher has also followed the mystical foundations in this regard and undertaken discussions such as the heavenly nature of the truth recognition, the unity of appearance and manifestation of love among all beings


The contents of this research are presented in three chapters.


The first chapter is allocated to generalities and definitions, while the second chapter is dedicated to expressing Imam Khomeini's point of view.


The third and final chapter is expressing Allamah Tabataba’ei's point of view in this regard.


At the end, a summary and conclusion of all discussions have been presented and compared.
