Abstract:
“Revelation” is one of the most fundamental concepts of religion and is among the emanative principles in the fields of exegetic interpretation (Tafsir) and Islamic theology (Kalam). Meanwhile, individuals and deviant movements, such as the Ahmed Al-Hassan movement, seek to adjust the nature of revelation to approve their claim of prophethood. This research works towards the evaluation of the Yamani claimant’s perspective on revelation and the verse “Seal of the Prophets.” Using critical-analytical method, it addresses the robustness of definite religious foundations and enlightenment of various classes of society. The Yamani claimant believes that the "prophet” is connected to the angelic world and is aware of the Invisible. While being aware of the Invisible is crucial for any prophet, yet it is not sufficient on its own. Prominent figures such as Fatimah al-Zahra and the Imams (peace be upon them) acknowledged their knowledge of hidden matters, and yet they were not prophets. Furthermore, He has adjusted the groundwork to support his claim to prophecy by redefining the concept of "Seal of the Prophets" and considering the status of prophecy as something achievable.
