The Human Expectation of Religion and the Religion Expectation of Humanity; the Appearance of a Single Fact

The human expectation of religion and the religion expectation of humanity are two important historical challenges in the discussion of the relation of religion and humankind. With a library research method, this article develops the viewpoint of Ayatullah Javadi Amoli. Using the definition of “humankind” and the correspondence of the factuality of the human innate nature (Fitrah) and the true religion in his point of view, the authors, along with the two meaning of expectation offered by Ayatullah Javadi Amoli, offer a third meaning of expectation. According to the third meaning of expectation, the divine innate nature of human and the true religion in the material universe are the manifestations of a single fact of the intellect universe and are the same. Thus the phrase “human expectation of religion” in this world is the same expectation of the manifested human innate nature of the manifestation of religion in the world; and the phrase “religion expectation of humankind” is the same manifested religion’s expectation of the manifested human innate nature. And because the fact of human innate nature and the fact of religion are the same, the human expectation of religion and the religion expectation of humans refer to a single fact.
