Philosophy of Prophethood and its position in the view of Molla - Sadra with Emphasis on the book Al-hujjah, a Commentary on Usool-e-Kafi

Deliberation over the discussion in the book Al-hujjah, the invaluable and great commentary on Usool-e-Kafi, leads one to the fact that Sadr¨ul-Mute¨alehin was constantly determined to interpret prophethood and its essence, as a position divinely attributed to God, with the true sayings of Imams. In spite of theological and rational meaning of prophethood, Molla-Sadra does not recognize this rank to hold human and non-divine perusal but instead by considering the originality of teachings from traditions and reconciling narrative analogues in explaining the traditions of the book Al-hujjah, he emphasies over the divinity of this rank and that it is beyond human. While defining the prophet and prophet-hood, differentiating prophet with messenger, the need for sending prophet, the characteristics of prophets and their ranks and topics of this nature, with a rational and theosophical approach, he collates this approach with the yardstick of hadith. In the book Al-hujjah, he strives with utmost sensitivity to coordinate and analog reason (Aql) and theosophy (hikmat) with traditions related to prophet-hood.
