Author

Abu Mansur Jamal Addin Hasan Ibn Yousuf Ibn Motahhar known as Allameh Hilli (b.1250/died:1325) was the author. He is best known for his writing on jurisprudence and theology.

History

Hilli wrote the work by the order of Uljaytu Sultan Muhammad Khoda Bandeh, the ruler of Mogul. Fazl Ibn Rouzbahan Isfahani wrote Ibtal Al Batel Va Ihmal Kashf Al Atel, which rejected Nahj Al Sedq. Shahid Qadi Nou Allah Shoushtari criticized the latter and defended Hilli in Ihqaq Al Haq.

Content

The book considered eight major topics:

  • The senses (Mahsousat) divided into seven subjects such as perception and conditions of seeing.
  • Knowledge, divided into seven subjects such as necessity of knowledge by men of knowledge, knowledge on conclusions in assessments.
  • God, divided into eleven subjects such as God's powers and lack of a corporeal form.
  • Prophecy, divided into three parts such as the innocence of Muhammad's mother and father.
  • Leadership, divided into four topics such as the qualities of an Imam.
  • Resurrection, divided into two parts such as proving the existence of corporeal resurrection.
  • Jurisprudence, divided into two parts such as religious duty.
  • Jurisprudence (again), divided into seventeen parts.
