🔻"Hikmah in the Qur'an", Lec07
speaker, Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi
Nov 9, 2025
Topic: Meaning of Hikmah (Wisdom) in the Story of Abraham (Q16:121–125)
Summary:
In the first half of the seventh lecture , we continued discussion on the meaning of hikmah in the verse Q43:63 which is a verse part of the pericope Q43:57-65 about Jesus. This pericope of Sūrah al-Zukhruf records and responds to an objection raised by the polytheists of Mecca to the Qur'an's favorable portrayal of Jesus (Q43:57-58). In response to this objection, which was discussed thoroughly in the sixth lecture, Qur'an in the following verses of this pericope lists four things regarding Jesus and his ministry which is also a restatement of it's Christology: (1) he was "just a servant" (ʿabd) and "an example" (mathal) for the Israelites (Q43:59); (2) had God wished, He could make the angels inherit the earth from humans (Q43:60); (3) Jesus was "knowledge of the Hour" (Q43:61); (4) he brought wisdom (ḥikmah) and came to clarify the disputes (ikhtilāf) that the Israelites had fallen into (Q43:63). We discussed the first two item on the list in the previous sixth lecture. In this seventh lecture we discussed the items 3 and 4 on the list.
In Christianity Jesus is an embodiment of the knowledge of God, being His image (e.g., Col1:15; 2 Cor4:4), His Logos (e.g., John1:1), and His Wisdom (e.g., 1 Cor1:24, 30) and Jesus is portrayed as revealing his own divinity through miracles. In Qur’an (for example Q3:49) Jesus’s miracles point instead to the reality of the hereafter and Jesus’s description as “knowledge of the Hour” in the Sūrat al-Zukhruf Jesus pericope is a conscious rejection of his being “knowledge of God.” Sūrat al-Zukhruf’s portrayal of Jesus as a bringer of wisdom can be read as a continuation of the same role Jesus occupies in the Gospels. Qur’an by Jesus’s ḥikmah refers to his clarification of the Mosaic message and law, regarding which the Israelites had fallen into dispute and this clarification included a lightening of the requirements of the law.
In the second half of this lecture we discussed the meaning of Hikmah in the famous verse Q16:125 of Surah al-Nahl. "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom(hikmah) and good advice and dispute with them in a manner that is best. Indeed your Lord knows best those who stray from His way, and He knows best those who are guided. "(Q16:125). This verse just comes after a pericope about Abraham Q16:119-124. In this pericope Abraham is considered a hanif, selected and guided by God, blessed in both worlds and among the righteous and prophet Muhammad (ص) was asked to follow the path of Abraham.
In the pivotal Q16:124 verse it is stated that sabbath was only prescribed for the Jews and neither for Abraham and his followers and nor for Muslims. Similar to the Sūrat al-Zukhruf Jesus pericope (Q43:57-65), we have a combination between the differing (ikhtilāf; Q16:124 and Q 43:63) that the Jews fell victim to, which is contrasted with the ḥikmah that Jesus(ع) (Q 43:63) or Prophet Muhammad(ص) (Q 16:125) now offer to resolve the dispute by partially clarifying or reforming the law.
Hikmah as moral/natural law is in contrast to the positive law, that is, reforms can be applied to the positive law in the light of knowledge coming from Hikmah.

🔻"Structure and Argumentation in Islamic Theology", Lec10
speaker, Dr. Hassan Ansari
Nov 11, 2025
🟥 Lecture in Persian, can be watched with closed caption (CC) and auto-translate on our channel.
Summary:
In this session, several topics related to the attributes of the Exalted God were discussed, including the issue of whether God’s attributes are intrinsic and the point that God’s attributes are not “eternal” in the sense of being independent entities with their own meanings. We also examined the theologians’ arguments for why God is not a body, and the theory of “a body unlike other bodies” was brought into discussion.
Finally, in the debate over proving God’s oneness from the perspective of the theologians, we discussed in detail the theology of various early Christian sects, as well as the views of dualist thinkers, Zoroastrianism, and Zurvanism on this matter. In the Q&A portion, we also explored the theory of predestination and free will from the viewpoints of theologians and philosophers.

آشنایی با ساختار و نظام استدلالی متون کلاسيک در الهيات اسلامی، دکتر حسن انصاری
جلسه دهم: در اين جلسه چند موضوع در ارتباط با صفات باری تعالی بحث شد و از جمله بحث درباره ذاتی بودن صفات خداوند و اينکه صفات خدا به دلیل معانی قديم نيست. همچنين درباره استدلال متکلمين بحث شد که چرا خداوند جسم نيست و نظريه "جسم لا کالأجسام" هم به بحث گذاشته شد. دست آخر در بحث اثبات يگانگی خدا از ديدگاه متکلمان مفصلا درباره خداشناسی مذاهب مختلف مسيحيت قديم بحث کرديم و همچنين درباره ديدگاه ثنوی انديش ها و ديانت زردشتی و زروان در اين زمينه. در بخش پرسش و پاسخ ها هم درباره نظريه جبر و اختيار از ديدگاه متکلمين و فلاسفه بحث شد.

🔻"Structure and Argumentation in Islamic Theology",
Lec10_2
speaker, Dr. Hassan Ansari
Nov 16, 2025
🟥 Lecture in Persian, can be watched with closed caption (CC) and auto-translate on our channel.
Summary:
In this final session of our analysis of the text Sharḥ al-Jumal by Sharif al-Murtaḍā, we examined the theologians’ arguments regarding the oneness of the Divine Essence. Since this was also the last discussion in the book’s section on divine unity, we went on to briefly outline the topics covered in the other sections of the book, including the discussions on justice, prophethood, and more. We hope to address the book’s sections on justice (ʿadl) and religious obligation (taklīf) in a separate series.

آشنایی با ساختار و نظام استدلالی متون کلاسيک در الهيات اسلامی، دکتر حسن انصاری
جلسه دهم تکمیلی: در اين آخرين جلسه از مباحث تحليل متن کتاب شرح الجمل تأليف شريف مرتضی به استدلال متکلمان درباره يگانگی ذات الهی پرداختيم. همچنين به دليل اينکه اين آخرين بحث از مباحث توحيد کتاب بود در دنباله فهرستوار مباحث ابواب ديگر کتاب و از جمله بحث های عدل و نبوت و ... را مختصراً توضيح داديم. اميدواريم مباحث عدل و تکليف کتاب را در مجموعه ای ديگر به بحث بگذاریم. (۱۶ نوامبر، ۲۰۲۵)
