Beschreibung
• After dealing with the doctrine of God and justice as the first two foundations of the Shiite faith, in this volume we deal with the third foundation of faith: Vocation. This includes other topics such as prophethood and revelation. The principle of faith in calling is so important that, according to our view, not only the ordinary believers, but above all the Prophet Muhammad (s) himself should believe in it. The main concern of this foundation is the guidance of people. There are different ways of guidance, but the prophetic guidance or guidance through the prophets is the most authentic. The reason for this is divine revelation. Therefore - among other topics - this volume also clarifies the Prophet’s experience of revelation and the goal of their prophethood and vocation, namely the Imama. Because Imam guarantees mankind eternal salvation. This is a fact that has led us to address issues such as prophethood and vocation from within the spirit of Shia Islam.
An-Nubuwwa, i.e. prophethood, and Al-Risala, i.e. calling, are among the three most fundamental pillars of faith in Islam, along with At-Tauhid (doctrine of God) and Al-Maad (eschatology), which are to be believed in without coercion or violence. The messengers are “chosen people” who are honored with prophethood and begin their sacred calling. Many prophets are spoken of, but only 25 of them are named in the Quran. The exalted Creator keeps His creation with the covenant that is made with the prophets through revelation. The covenant is actually the key of creation, which is constantly made with people or reminds them of it. The universal calling of the Prophet Muhammad concerns all people, and he is sent to all people to:
• to get the message across,
• To build landmarks of guidance and beacons of light,
• to put people on the right path,
• strengthen the ropes of Islam,
• justify the doctrine of the faith and
to guarantee people an eternal salvation (through faith and good deeds).
