a critical analysis of the application of “divine wisdom” in shi‘ite theology

the attribute of divine wisdom is applied in shi‘ite theology to prove some religious beliefs. shi‘ite theologians believe that providing the tools needed to achieve the divine purpose of the human beings’ creation and removing the obstacles to it is necessary to god. using logical analyses, this research investigates the sufficiency of the arguments based on divine wisdom in relation to the problems of the principle of divine grace, divine justice, the necessity of prophecy, the imamate, and the resurrection. it seems that these arguments, because of having their roots in divine purpose, are not sufficient to prove the results.
