Praise is to the eternal God is a worthy gem only the goers of the arena wisdom and heart will benefit. Thanks for the high mission of Prophet Mohammad Mustafa (peace be upon Mohammad and his holy family) which accompany the purity of the mission with the best of wisdom and reason. It is worthy of divine grace for servants: Thanks God, only the entourage of God’s blessing are worthy of being the guardians of the wisdom and the guardians of the tradition.
What establishes the principle of all goodness and perfect is proper science and perfect knowledge: “Science is the principle of all goodness.” The world of best, which is based on divine knowledge and gnosis, is always goodness and advisable from the current and the field of its development.
The universe which presents in two directions of creation and genesis: From the point of view of divine knowledge, the Divine knowledge, which is the divine will, has created the religion from creation and created the world of creation, therefore, those who think in the two domains mentioned above and The scholars of the abstract and experimental sciences are both aspiring to divine will and ultimately divine knowledge, because knowledge, which is the same as discovery, intuition, and attendance, is nothing more than a revelation of the divine knowledge and knowledge of the Lord: and none of Them will ever encompass anything of Allah's Knowledge except as much Allah Wills. Al-Baqarah (255)
Seminary scholars and academic scholars, although in terms of the method of studying Knowledge and in terms of what it relates to Knowledge, that is the same knowable, are distinct from each other; but from the path of science and advancement to the domain of divine knowledge are the same; in other words, natural scientists who study the world of creation and genesis empirically and the divine science scholars who are referring to the world of compilation with an abstract method in that both are in the domain of divine will and knowledge, they are common; though they differ from other directions. In this way, the sciences with any title and subject that investigate in any way are all divine and cannot be empty of the principle of agent and purpose is in the divine will, because the research of phenomena and creations, whether in the world of compilation or in the world of genesis, is identity less and incompleteness without a viewpoint to the principle of agent and purpose in it, although the contemporary world and the scholars of science are trying to impose scientific secularism on science. As the universe has turned the creation into nature and denied or neglected the origin and end and they have separated the sciences from nature (and not creation) from the origin and end, they do not accept any the origin and end for it.
