| description | Farabi is a philosopher who, for the first time, by taking a rational interpretation of revelation, took prophecy out of the form of a purely theological issue and included it in philosophical discussions. He, by using the argumentative method, proved generalities about the position of the Prophet, how he related to the unseen world and the characteristics of the Prophet. He did not need to go into detail to express the general laws of prophecy, and necessary did not use well-known religious words to express his views; Rather he substituted a noun for them and constructed imagination. The question in this study is how prophecy is presented in Farabi's works and also what does this new image have to do with the prophecy? In other words, what image did he present of the prophet and prophecy in his philosophy? One of the results of this study after proving the claim that there is no independent subject under the title of prophecy and also not using the word of "Prophet" (except in the first process of forming image) as well as by using Farabi's explanation of relevant, is that Farabi mentions the first chief as the recipient of revelation and taking advantage of commonalities between the definitions made of the first chief and prophet, directs the mind of the audience towards the subject of prophecy. According to his view, the first chief in the utopia corresponds to the Prophet with the condition of absolutely and the similarity between the Prophet and the first chief is confirmed and the challenge of lowering the state of Prophet to that of philosopher disappears in Farabi's view. |
