Philosophy of the Imamat according to Mulla Sadra: An Analysis of the Personality and Attributes of the Imam in the Light of the Transcendent Theosophy
Journal Article: Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies Vol 1 Issue 1
Abstract: This paper is an attempt to clarify and analyse the Imamat and the attributes of the Imams on the basis of the transcendent theosophy of Sadr al-Muta'allihin Shirazi, known as Mulla Sadra. I will examine here one of the creedal foundations of Shi’ism: the rank and status of the Imamat, together with related topics of great subtlety such as the objective reality of the Imamat, the basis for each of the attributes of the Imams, the connection between these attributes and the persons of the Imams, and the relation of these attributes with each other.
