A Critique of Philosophical Exposition of Argument from Mutual Hindering with Emphasis on Martyr Motahhari's Exposition

Muslim thinkers present different arguments to prove the unity of the Most High God. The argument from mutual hindering is of special position because it has rational and transmitted support. Martyr Motahhari puts forward this argument in addition to such arguments as argument of interval, argument through unity of universe, argument of limitlessness of the Most High God's essence and argument from prophecy in an attempt to negate the plurality of the Necessary Existence and prove the unity of the Most High God. The difference is that he tries to propose a novel and different exposition to answer some of the problems which other expositions cannot solve. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present paper seeks to expand martyr Motahhari's view entitled "philosophical exposition" and criticize and examine the validity of his exposition and its compatibility with the Quranic verse 22 in the Chapter "The Prophets".
