What is relevant here are the formative and social laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">He continued, \u201cGod has established laws for governing societies. These laws can be absolute, conditional, or competitive absolute. In absolute laws, such as the tradition of testing humans, humans will have no role. However, in conditional laws, if individuals or societies exercise their will, these laws take effect, such as the succession of the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">The faculty member of the Research Institute for Islamic Culture and Thought emphasized that resistance is the most crucial factor in activating some of these three types of divine traditions. \u201cDivine traditions come into effect only when there is steadfastness and perseverance. However, in traditions like the Imdad (divine assistance), God provides special help and support to the believers. Similarly, the establishment of Imamate, where a person becomes a guide and role model for others, depends on steadfastness and resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cProphet Abraham (a.s.) became an Imam due to his patience. The Tradition of Inheriting the Earth is fulfilled after divine trials. Likewise, the tradition of Nasr (divine victory) is conditional upon steadfastness and perseverance. However, this tradition of Nasr is only realized when Muslims meet its prerequisites,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Further in the seminar, Hojat al-Islam Dr. Naser Jahanian, another faculty member of the Research Institute for the Islamic Culture and Thought remarked, \u201cDivine traditions are methods through which God manages and administers the affairs of the universe and humankind. After creating humanity and the universe, God instituted these laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cFrom the very beginning of creation, the principle of parity existed, and God established social systems and family structures based on this principle. On the other hand, divine governance and satanic governance have been in conflict,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">Dr. Jahanian identified one of the divine traditions as the institution of Imamate (leadership) and elaborated, \u201cIf Muslims neglect the tradition of establishing Imamate, they will face defeat. For instance, during the events of the Arab Spring, the absence of an established leadership led to the defeat of Islamic countries and the emergence of ISIS. Similarly, the Tradition of Inheriting the Earth cannot be realized without a divine perspective. Victory is guaranteed only when Muslims align themselves with the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the Imam (a.s.) and adhere to all the principles they have outlined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">\u201cThe tradition of Mudawilah, indicates the rotation of territories and positions and implies that if Muslims face defeat in a battle or situation, they should not despair. Instead, they must remain patient and not lose hope,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">In conclusion, Dr. Jahanian referred to verse 200 of Surah Al-Imran, which outlines the stages of attaining prosperity. \u201cGod commands individual patience, which nurtures a perfect human being who then becomes a role model for leading believers and pioneering the faithful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: justify\">**************<br \/>End\/ 345<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The seminar \u201cThe Functions of Resistance from the Perspective of Divine Traditions\u201d was held by ABNA News Agency in collaboration with the Department of Theology and Modern Religious Studies of the Islamic Culture and Thought Research Institute, in the conference hall of ABNA News Agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":343519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-343525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conferences-events","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahlulbaytworldassembly.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
