Analysis and Examination of the Sunni Commentators’ Views in Explaining the Temporal Extent of the Infallibility of the Prophets (PBUTH)

Huri Rezazadeh Sefideh, Ali Ghazanfari

Abstract


Sunni commentators have different views on the temporal extent of the infallibility of the prophets. While Some Ash'arites have expressed absolute infallibility, the Mu'tazilites believe that the Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them) have been infallible since the start of their prophethood. This study, by referring to Sunni interpretations, seeks analytical-critical processing of the method of Sunni commentators using the necessary tools and resources in expressing the time limit of the infallibility of the Prophets (PBUTH). Examination of the interpretators comments following verses about the infallibility of the prophets (PBUTH) shows that the opinon of the Sunni commentators on the fallibility of the Prophets before prophethood, lack using appropriate tools and is a claim without reason, and the cause of differences in views about the infallibility of the prophets after prophethood, is paying no attention to rational arguments and favoring religious beliefs by interpreting verses in order to prove one's opinion and imposing the mental background of the interpreter on the verses.
