A Critique on the Fakhr Raz􀀂s Viewpoint about the Creator of Human Actions (With an Emphasis on Commentary ofMafatih al-Gheyb)

Human role in his own actions is one of the important topics of theological and commentary discussions. Fakhr Razi believes that all of the human actions are attributed to God and he believes that assigning the creation of actions to human causes the negation or weakness of God􀀇s power and sees that the human􀀇s belief and disbelief is due to creation of God. However, he does not go into a strong and solid theory. Sometimes he considered human to be obliged, some other times he has been inclined to accept the human free will and sometimes, by proposing the acquisition theory and drawing distinction between will and creation of God, he has not accepted the responsibility of accepting determinism. Accordingly, he has recognized human as an obliged person to be in a state of option. Using the content analysis method, the author attempts to investigate Fakhr Razi􀀇s viewpoint and believes that his theory causes the weakness of human position, rejects his responsibility, negates the causality principle and also attributes evil creation to God. As for the result of the study, one could point out to the longitudinal relationship of God􀀇s creation and human creation, and belonging of God􀀇s will on the creation of human actions, and also the difference between existential will and Divinely posited will.
