Molla Sadra against the View of Divine Revelation as Something Affected with the Culture of the Age of Revelation

Divine revelation is regarded as a mysterious truth unattainable for human reason. In spite of the fact, some contemporary intellectuals have considered it as religious experience produced by Prophet`s faculty of imagination. In the paper, a definition of revelation and culture, and the manner in which Quran met the culture of revelation age have been given at first and, then, it is proved in a Sadrian manner of thought that: firstly, Divine revelation is origionally a truth never changeable in Divine Mind and intellectual world and Prophet may be regarded only as the receiver; secondly, the Prophet`s faculty of imagination has been a capable ground for receiving it; thirdly, the process of revelation never is affected with any real agent including culture and fourthly, Divine revelation is a truth beyond time and language ane, therefore, is valid for ever. In this way, it is concluded that the claim of intellectuals is not supported by Sadra`s philosophical teachings.
