Abstract

Manifestism is a stonyism of thought that focuses on the
appearances of the book and Sunnah, not using reason and
thought in understanding the revelations, and not going
beyond the basic meaning of the verses. Especially the fact that
these issues are mostly in similar verses, which stagnation on
the words and their initial meaning leads to believe in the
personification and simile about God. One of the great
challenges of the era of the 8th Imam (peace be upon him)
from which many of the deviant thoughts of the society came
from, were the thoughts and beliefs of appearanceism, which
with the anti-rationalism and extreme textualism they had
undertaken, without using reason. And wisdom, they had
superficial and superficial understandings of verses and
traditions, which sometimes led to the belief that God is
physical and human. Imam Ali Ibn Musa al-Reza (peace be
upon him) has explained this incorrect opinion with a clear and
clear statement and in various ways. In this research, we first
stated four verses of the verses that are the origin of the belief
of likeness and embodiment, and then we expressed the
thinking of Imam Reza (peace be upon him) in correcting and
fighting against this thinking. The findings of the research
indicate that the narrations of this Imam Hammam in the
meanings of the verses in the way of intellectual and narrative
interpretation and interpretation is the best solution that can
guide the Islamic society from irrationality and intellectual
stagnation towards rationalism.
