The Narratives of al-Nūr (the Light) Creation and the Position of Three Great Philosophers: Sadr al-Muta'alehin, Fayḍ al-Kāshānī and Allamah Tabatabaei

One of the most important religious issues is the matter of the existential position of khatam al-anbīyāʾ (the seal of the prophets) before the stage of the natural world (matter). The knowledge and correct understanding of this issue have a considerable effect on many other matters such as the delegation (tafwid) of creatures’ matters, the intermediary of the holy infallibles in the creation and some other infallibles’ rights to the creatures. One of the ways to know this important thing is to study the narratives of al-nūr (the light) creation of Ahl al-Bayt (a) (Arabic: اهل البیت). In this note with library data collection, it has been attempted to determine the opinions of three great philosophers in the Islam world; Sadr al-Muta'alehin, Fayḍ al-Kāshānī and Allamah Tabatabaei, and within it to three hadiths. The outcomes are the three philosophers have accepted the light creation and its prerequisite is the first intellect objectivity and the light of the of khatam al-anbīyāʾ (the seal of the prophets) and Ahl al-Bayt.
