Javadi Amoli

The story of Adam has been a site of debate among religious scholars for various reasons. In this context, examining how commentators engage with the text and articulating their logic of understanding play a significant role in acknowledging the evolution of thought in interpretation. A cognitive triptych by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli regarding the understanding of "The world, human beings, and knowledge" in relation to verses 30-34 can guide us towards this important discourse. The tripartite focus of understanding logic in this story centers on anthropology and defining the characteristics of the perfect human in his relationship with God as the Creator of the Caliphate, and with angels acting as the disciples of the Caliph. From this perspective, the faculty of knowledge of names, which is the source of Caliphate, is endowed in all humans, and the will is the factor that fosters human dignity or conceals it, leading to a fall into bestiality and wickedness. This scene, from a cosmological viewpoint, is transcendent in time and free from the possibility of error, contrasting with the material world as the place of the human elemental body and the origin of its evolutionary movement. In the epistemological dimension, the commentator believes in the existence of levels of knowledge based on the nature of the objects of knowledge across longitudinal realms. Accordingly, the realm of proclamation exists in the intellectual realm and the rights of humans within the status of the self-sufficient being and the realm of the soul. From his perspective, the story of Adam is a case of an external personal matter and informs of a divine and continuous tradition in creating a Caliph on Earth. His departure from the theory of corporeal creation and spiritual permanence in explaining the realms of the soul is also noteworthy in this narrative. The commentator’s statements show the influence of the content of Shia narratives, alongside a prominent application of mystical and philosophical teachings and assumptions

Ayatollah Javadi Amoli has a relative comprehensiveness in religious studies and also in dealing with issues of political theology, including the areas of political theology, which has made him a prominent figure. (Importance) The article, based on Skinner's intentional hermeneutic method (method), has analyzed the relationship between Islam and the state with some interventions. Based on this, the main question is what is the type of relationship between religion and government in Javadi Amoli's view? (Main question) The hypothesis is based on the fact that, based on the subjective and objective grounds and the conventional norms in this field, Javadi Amoli, by rejecting the idea of ​​the separation of religion and politics, considers the relationship between religion and government to be based on the fundamental principle of God's absolute sovereignty and also the right to choose and creative freedom, and emphasizes government as a divine office. (Hypothesis) Based on this, some conclusions are: Javadi Amoli is one of the serious theorists of the integration of religion and politics and religion and government based on rational and religious evidence; a religious state is not contrary to the active role of the people, but it is not the only exclusive component either; government as a religious office; the role of reason in political legitimacy; Separation of legitimacy in the position of proof from legitimacy in the position of proof; an Islamic ruler over society does not have a mandate but rather a guardianship, and people accept his divine guardianship through expert experts; people have a fundamental role in the position of proof, but they do not have any role in the position of proof; the nature of Islamic rulings explains the necessity of forming a religious government; neither is imposition legitimate in the essence of religion, nor can a religious government be compulsory; man, by law, must accept religion and divine sovereignty; the decision to implement or not implement divine commands and laws in society is in the hands of the people; in a religious government such as liberal-democratic governments, the people's opinion and opinion alone are not the axis; the politics and government of the prophets (peace be upon them) is an ever-pure politics; two types of guardianship over the excluded and guardianship over the wise are mentioned in the Quran; an Islamic ruler over society does not have a mandate but a guardianship of the second type; The attorney is dismissed by the client, but the guardian is dismissed due to lack of conditions.
