Man's Role in Creational Powers of Disposition From the Viewpoint of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli

There are exclusive rational, spiritual, and innate characteristics and capacities institutionalized in mankind, by means of which his inner nature has become heavenly, his rank has become Divine Vicegerency, and his status has turned as the most noble of all creation. With the right knowledge, man can achieve Divine excellences, meeting with the Lord, and annihilation in Allah,
purification of the soul, and pious acts; and with inner transformation go beyond receptive development and with the leave of God achieve the efficient development. At this point, he will become capable of creational powers of disposition in the terrestrial and celestial world, the inner and outer, this world and the Hereafter, the nature and the supernatural, and the macromanagement of the world of being. The great philosopher and Qur’ān interpreter, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, has expressed a special perspective on how and in what condition man can exert creational powers of disposition in the world of being, which few philosophers and religious interpreters have so explicitly dealt with. In this article, we will try to examine his special perspective in this respect.
