Abstract

The political atmosphere after Shahrivar 1320 led to growth and conflict in opinions. At this time, political parties tried to advance their goals. Bahmad Azadegan party was established in 1320 and its founder Ahmad Kasravi became one of the controversial figures. Kasravi started on the path of reforms in 1311 by writing the Book of Religion and in 1312 by founding the Peyman magazine. Kasravi’s interpretation of religion with the name Pakdini and the publication of the book Varjavand Bonyad opened a new chapter in his research. During the years of activity and after, there were criticisms about Kasravi’s Prophethood claim. In the current research, we are addressing the question of whether Kasravi claimed to be a prophet. Moreover, why did the Opponents put him in the position of claiming to be a prophet? According to the findings of the research, Kasravi did not claim to be a prophet, However, the incorrect understanding of the Qur'an, which was accompanied by contradictions, and the introduction of Varjavand Bonyad as a guidebook, led to criticism. In the meantime, Nawab Safavi’s defeat in the debate and the publication of a declaration about Kasravi’s Prophethood made everyone aware of the criticism. Therefore, considering the passivity of religious institutions in dealing with Kasravi’s discourse, the accusation of claiming to be a prophet based on the analysis and interpretation of his words was accepted by a part of the society. The formation of the fighting group, the fierceness and increased intensity of Kasravi’s writing, which did not allow him to reconsider his view, and the incomplete and one-sided perception of the Opponents, led to an increase in accusations, and as a result, some of the critics considered him a prophet. The present article has investigated the issue, using archival resources and a descriptive-explanatory method.
