Abstract: (190 Views) |
The epistemological understanding of the “truth of light” in the verses of the Holy Quran plays a fundamental role in explaining the mechanism of human guidance and, by focusing on the infallible Imam; as the perfect embodiment of the manifestation of divine light, lays the foundation for spiritual transcendence. This research aims to explain the position of Imamate in the epistemological geometry of the Quran, deepen knowledge about the Ahl al-BaytD, and protect the correct interpretation of the verses against semantic deviations. The research method is exploratory-analytical and based on the approach of “interpreting the Quran by the Quran”, using the narrations of the infalliblesD, reliable narrative interpretations, library sources, and the interpretive rule of “following and matching”. Within this framework, 39 verses containing the word “light” and its derivatives were analyzed and three conceptual areas of “imamate”, “worldly knowledge” and “guidance” were identified. The findings of the study indicate that Imam; is the perfect embodiment of the verse “So seek light” (Hadid, 13) and that belief in “light” as a divine law and a channel of divine guidance plays a pivotal role in the system of existence. Also, the contrast between light and darkness indicates that distancing oneself from the guardianship of Amir al-Mu’minin; is considered to be falling into the darkness of ignorance and hypocrisy.
