Abstract

The divine or naturalistic issue of prophecy has long been considered by theologians and has been studied under various headings. But it seems that there are still ambiguities in the wording of the issue and this theory has different interpretations. Through the present article, which is presented with a descriptive-analytical method and with the aim of writing and evaluating this issue, it is revealed that the theory of "theology of prophecy" has two different interpretations, the first of which is against "constitutionalism" and the second against "naturalism". . The first narration is discussed between the people of Hadith and the judiciary, and the second narration is discussed between the judiciary and philosophers. According to the hadith scholars and some Ash'arites, receiving the status of prophethood does not depend on any condition and is only subject to the providence of God. In contrast, the judiciary considers the reception of prophecy to be conditional on a series of conditions that make a person worthy of receiving this position. Without the need for a component called "divine resignation". In the present article, all these cases are discussed.
