The Meaning and Rationality Rajat from Allameh Tabatabaei and Imam Khomeini's Viewpoints Based on Monotheistic Ontology and Anthropology

Believing in the Return is proved based on traditional reasons in Allameh Tabatabaei and Imam Khomeini’s viewpoints. However¡ these two great scholars have dealt with proving the origin and manner of return by using a rational method. Due to the meaning system of the verses and narrations¡ Allameh Tabatabei considers the Return as one of the degrees of God’s representation in the universe which is itself based on rational arguments while Imam Khomeini¡ in addition to accepting the principle of raj`at based on traditional reasons¡ has proved the quality of raj`at by assumption of stages of the worlds of existence and correspondence of those stages with the stages of the soul as well as by explicating the developmental status of human soul subject to the return in the expression of angelic imagination of human soul. Therefore¡ the principle of return in view of these two great scholars¡ is provable with both theological and interpretive methods as well as philosophical and mystical ones within two fields of ontology and anthropology that both of them are within the realm of the truth of monotheism. In addition to having traditional principles and reasons¡ this specific Imamyeh’s idea includes rational principles and reasons either.
