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.

The major issue of religion is a history of human history and a continuation of the world. It has accompanied the length and width of time, so that there is no period and no place for the truth of religion to be present. Religion is born with man and remains with the man to all places and he not releases him and has nothing but a human soul.
Religion, like natural phenomena, is sometimes at the peak and sometimes in the nadir. Standing up with the Prophets and the favourites of God, it stands with their sunset it fall. When the goddesses are victorious, religion is jubilation in the minds and tongues, in wisdom and hearts, in verbs and fingers. And whenever tyrannies and devils flaunts and have the illusion of victory, religion is sad, it takes refuge in a corner and the lashes of ignorance and misleading, whipping its subtle body.
In our era, religion is not separate or except from this continuous tradition; until the great Islamic Revolution, because of the presence of the oppressors and tyrants and despots, religion went to the general scene of humanity completely eliminate, but with the uprising and courageous action of the right-handers, it returned to the scene of the community and it present with a new and fresh outfit, and with a special refresher in various fields. It came with it's the innate freshness and subtlety enlightens the society with all its facets and the human spirit with all its appearances and with its purity, it will wash all the turbidities.
But two important factors have always prevented this movement, and, it eliminates until these two, the presence of religion is not strong, and it may lead to the retreat of religion and personal and social movement.
The first barrier is internal; the truth religion is a abstraction and spiritual (not material), until it is not looker’s eyes to the pure substance, and not seen with the weapon of abstraction and wisdom and sound heart. The veil of nature and dust of material does not give material opportunity for pure intuition and pure look. The only migration of nature and impure materiality is that it enables the presence of the religion to be known as it is.
Those who will through feeling and experience or from the limited window of nature, cannot achieve the truth beyond the nature of religion, thus, they always see religion in a halo of ambiguity and darkness, they judge on this basis; Sometimes they judge to the incompleteness and inadequacy of religion and trying to overthrow this incomplete and unnecessary truth and sometimes they judge holiness and transformation of the of descent religion, and they respect religion and more honorable than they descend to the natural world.
 In our day, this intellectual process and this narrow-minded view on the East and the West is a shadow of nature. And has occupied the intellectual and mental domains of societies, especially the western communities; though its shadows have infected and darkened the minds of some open-minded in our society.

 The second obstacle is the outside; those who realized the power and ability of religion and found that religion has a strong and rigidity nature, in the text of religion, all the seditions have define and the emphasis on the struggle against seditious people is explicitly and definitively emphasized and they are also seeking to provide false wishes and desires for the colonial world and the exploitation of the people. With their military, political, industrial and eclectic strength, they have the will to abuse and dominate the societies and they want to eliminate religion in every way from the human realm and to obliterate man from both the inside and outside of the religion: They will go on fighting with you so they may turn you back from your religion if they can. Al-Baqarah  (217)So they can disarm him and dominate him from the brain to the mine.

This is where the two groups, either willingly or unwillingly, share a common purpose, and they both move towards the overthrow of the structure of religion and the breaking of the roots of religion.

From this point of view, the mission of the religionists and those who regard religion as life water and live with it and die without it is more necessary; by hand, he must remove the first obstacle so that inside the light of religion, it not sacrifice the appear to be made minds and thoughts of the unprofessional and unconscious and with the other hand, he put down the second barrier and confronted it. This is where the weapons of ijithad and jihad jointly attack the enemy; this is where the weapons of ijithad and jihad jointly attack the enemy and the scientists’ pen with blood of the martyrs is a devastating flood to eliminate any scientific intrigue and pragmatic chaos.

The present book, which is based on the thoughts and works of Ayatullah Javadi Amoli, is intended to explain and clarify the light of religion and the guidance of Islam.

The dawning religion has illuminated life and the opportunity to enjoy human and divine blessings so that man guide by that heavenly ray and to enjoy all the capabilities and attain to its highest position the position of divine caliphate in the earth, and the worship of Allah.

This highest divine blessing has always been the subject of threats by the arrogances, and the moldings and distortions of the masters of power and deceit. In fact, the people of religion, in the power's light and dignity of religion, turn into crashing dangers and storms. That rebellious powers are always frightening of them and reject them; but they have used all the power in separating religion from the realm of human life to disarm human beings, then they will rebel him: they will go on fighting with you so that they may turn you back from your religion if they can. Al-Baqarah (217)

This continuous and all-round battle sometimes happens in military uniforms and shows itself in a cover of scientific culture and even ideology. Obviously, coping with this campaign is far more sensitive and more important than conflict and war.

Man is thirsty that his thirst only heals the pure religion and gives him water and the return of man to the drought of science and the salt of the secular, it makes the person thirsty more thirsty and tired of death. Today, human beings have reached the end of all human fields, and according to some Western scholars, human beings have seen the end of the world, the call for the need for religion and revelation heard from the depth of his heart, and he cries out that the only way of saving is to accept divine revelation and obey the prophets.

It provides a Man who vest his life and soul to religion and love her and make it loved to him in this world that exhilarate its freshness and cheerfulness, eye’s soul and enchanting fragrance and smell’s soul. Those who, with a false analysis, based on the lack of knowledge of the human being and the lack of a correct knowledge of religion, regard the companionship of man from religion, cause concern and create a hell of the world. Not only are they pleased with the false paradise that it separate a man from religion, but wants religion for the anchorite of his life and his ascetic social, and nothing else. The religion that covers the starting point of human creation to its fulfillment in this world and other worlds and from underlying layers to the hidden classes of existence and also the religion which is the light of his way in all aspects of existence and in the individual and social spheres. The perception of separation from human beings, faced with a serious vacuum, and with loneliness and fragile strangling. Therefore, it must salute with all its being.
