Analytical Study on attitudes of Quran Exegetes about Denotation of Verses of TAHLIL on Unity of Being in Holy Quran

Hamid Hasanzadeh, Fatemeh Kazemzadeh, Khadije Zeinivand Nejad

Abstract


The concept, which assumed as consistent with Unity of Being (Pantheism) in the clerical terminology, is one the justified probable notions in interpretation of TAHLIL Phrase: ‘There is no God but Allah’ (لا اله الا الله). From viewpoint of Muslim mystics, unity of being means that the existence possesses only a real example and none of creatures has actually benefited from this concept, except as the symbol and sign of that real being namely essence of Almighty God. Those interpretations which presented for TAHLIL Phrase (لا اله الا الله) are not consistent with the notion of this divine verse. Resorting to notion of this verse and this fact that existence of any other deities has been disproved other the Allah in this essay, and with respect to this point that any creature may be assumed actually or potentially as example of God, denotation of this verse has been demonstrated for Unity of Being (Pantheism) and a notion such as formative nature of this verse and lexical analysis has been done on term ‘Allah’ and other Quranic verses to interpret denotation of this verse as the basis for Unity of Being, including these Quranic Verses: ‘Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Ever-living, the Self-subsisting…’  (Baghareh Sura 2:255); ‘…and there is no god but Allah, the One, the Dominant (of all)’  (Sad Sura 38:65), and ‘…there is no god but He, everything is perishable but His countenance…’  (Ghasas Sura 28:88).
