Investigation and Analysis of Symbolism in the Heavenly Call

"Heavenly Call" is a voice made by Gabriel and at the time of appearance of Imam Mahdi (as) and all people will hear it, and thus the appearance of the Imam Mahdi (as) will be announced to the world. In this case, it is a heavenly voice that is heard by the world in a real and miraculous way by Gabriel, or it is symbolic and means a terrible sound and a natural thing that happens due to some explosions; or a symbol of divine warning and punishment; there are different views. The present study descriptively-analytically and in a library method has symbolically explained the celestial voice and seeks to answer the main question whether symbolism can be explained and justified in the celestial voice? Reasons such as the quality of the spread of the heavenly voice, the content of the voice and the possibility of using the symbolic heavenly voice in the sense of divine warning and punishment have been raised for symbolism in the heavenly voice; but none of them is strong enough. Therefore, the symbolic view in the heavenly voice is not acceptable.
