The Allegorical View of Allameh Tabatabai About the Story of the Devil

This study aims to explain the allegorical view of Allameh Tabatabai about the story of the devil.

This research has investigated this issue by means of rational and narrative analysis.

By accepting the existence of allegory in the language of the Qur'an, Allameh considered the understanding of the facts in some verses to be subject to allegorical expression. He proved the allegory of the story of Iblis with three reasons: "the context of the text of the Qur'an", "rational reason" and "narrative reason". According to him, although Quranic stories are allegorical, they are true and true. Hence, in contrast to the interpretive theory about the devil, he concludes that the story is allegorical and the devil is objective.

Finally, we can explain the reality of the rebellion of the devil and the understanding of its relationship with the command of God from the perception of the relationship between Molly and the disobedient slave. Therefore, "Adam" is an allegory and symbol of all human beings and "Satan" is an allegory of the temptations of demons.
