Philosophical Implications of the Words of Imam Reza (P.B.U.H.) in the Issue of Inherent Monotheism Shahnaz Shayanfer

''Monotheism" is the most basic belief of Islam and other religious teachings and human values education emanates from it. Inherent Monotheism is the most important kind of Monotheism and the base of all Monotheism levels. Imam Reza (A.S.), like other Imams, has paid special attention to this vital issue. The two main questions of this article are: What is the stance of Imam Reza (A.S.) on Inherent Monotheism? And how can one, based on a philosophical look, reveal the hidden implications of the monotheistic viewpoint of Imam Reza (A.S.)? The results are as follows: In the words of Imam Reza (A.S.), three explanations of Inherent Monotheism have been observed: 1- Proofing Oneness without basing on Unity 2. Proofing Unity without basing on Oneness 3. Proofing Unity on the basis of Oneness. The proof of negation of limitation of God in the words of Imam Reza (A.S.) is not on the one hand dependent on Unity and is proofed independent of it. Thus, the argument is the same as the first form of Monotheism and, on the other hand, the same negation of God's limitation is the proof of Unity, and therefore, this argument is the third form, and the second form appears in the fourth form, in the statements of the Imam: Negation of the traits of creatures from God, eternity and preexistence of God, the Argument of Antagonism, precession of Dualism toward Monotheism. It is also worth mentioning that, in this research, we tried to reveal some hidden implications of the narrations of Imam Reza (P.B.U.H.) in the subject of Monotheism using philosophical heritage of the Islamic tradition, and to analyze its parts and derivatives without attempting to impose philosophy on narrations.
