The Muhammadan Reality and Its Inherent Purity, Genetic Innocence and Existential Simplicity

The main characteristic of the prophets and saints is their innocence and purity. However, this innocence is not the same for all of them so it has different gradations and multiple levels. The highest degree of innocence is the noncompoundness or the purity and simplicity of existence which is the unique characteristic of the first Divine determination i.e. the Muhammadan Reality. The Divine Truth through its descending journey manifested itself in the forms of the Prophet and his household, therefore, all Divine attributes and perfections, such as inherent purity, genetic innocence and existential simplicity, exist in these manifestations. But in the natural world due to its restrictions, there is no room for these perfections. Therefore, the Prophet in his essence is an infinite and noncompound being, but, in the natural world and exoteric sense, is a man like other.
