Resort and Monotheism, in Comparison The Viewpoint of Allameh Tabatabaei and Rashid Reza (Based on Verse 35, Surah Maede)

Monotheism constitutes one‟s individual beliefs and the central core of his or her worldview. Hence, it is a major component of a person‟s knowledge. On this basis, it has been the first and the foremost call of all the messengers of God. This importance and sensitivity has caused the constant observation of the principles, components and frameworks of such faith by various schools, scientific groups and different sects and which actions and behaviors would change a man from a monotheist to a polytheist and what should be done to avoid it. Resort is a very sensitive and highly regarded issue in this context which is not only compatible with monotheism but also strengthening this belief. The meaning of monotheism and its truth, the action of resort and its reality, and defining the boundaries of these two and coordinating the resorting actions with the guidance of Koran, Prophets, and Imams, are the main aims of the present study. This paper, through library research and analytic-descriptive approach and the use of library resources, provides answers to some key questions and solves some uncertainties in this regard.
