The Study of the Relationship between the Termination of Wills and the Natural Knowledge of God in the 250th Saying of Nahj al-Balaghah by Answering the Deterministic Supposition

The Termination of Wills can be considered as one of the theological arguments based on the theology of humanities in the same fashion that Kalam and philosophy are. The saying number 250 of Nahj al-Balaghah also implies the argument because breaking man’s firm will, connecting with the innate and monotheistic knowledge of the divine substance, and the pure poverty of man are among the points that the saying in turn implies. The present article examines and analyzes the mentioned saying and its relation to the advancement of innate knowledge by using a descriptive-analytic and a documentary-library research method. Moreover, this article also demonstrates the compatibility of the saying with the conventional arguments of philosophical and Kalam theologies. Proving the alignment of the Thaghalain with the monotheistic innate nature of man and describing the domain of man’s firm will compared with that of the divine power are among the achievements of this article. In addition, the theory of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), entitled "al-Amr bain al-Amrain", is a response to the supposition that the Termination of Wills proposition in this saying is deterministic. Thus, the divine will affects the prerequisites of human action (e. g. human motives for decision making) but it does not lead to determinism. Another interpretation is that the impact of God's will is the same as divine Towfigh or its opposite, the Hailoulah.
