Abstract

According to Muslim theologians since the beginning of existence only God exists -or, there is no God but God- and his essence is eternal. As is God’s divine GRACE also eternal. Therefore, as a sign of His eternal GRACE, God nominates vicegerents on earth, who are the means of conferring His divine GRACE upon humans. Since God’s GRACE is eternal so is the medium of vicegerents also everlasting.According to Shi’a religious texts and scholars Mohammad (PBUH), people of Mohammad’s household, and the Imam of the Times are the only mediums through whom the divine GRACE can be conferred upon humans. This paper discusses the rationalization of the presuppositions associated with this issue, which involves a careful study of the considerations of the doctrine of race (people of Mohammad’s household) in mystical and philosophical terms. It also discusses an understanding of relevant Qur’anic verses and traditions on this issue. Further, we discuss the exact understanding of the medium of GRACE and its attribution to Imam Mahdi, which requires a historical survey of the development of the meaning of medium.Finally, the rebuttals of the objections associated with this discussion enhance our argument.
