Abstract

From the totality of Fakhr Razi's theories about the nature of the devil, two distinct viewpoints based on the non-conformist view and the existential view can be proposed. According to the second view, as the dominant view, despite the explicit belief in the celibacy of devils, he believes in subtle physical characteristics and by proving his authority, he has counted this group among the obligees. Also, relying on the descriptive concept of the word "devil" and considering the two types of "ansi" and "genie" for it, he has listed human representation as one of the methods of Satan's influence. According to the second point of view, by relying on the invalidity of the devil in opposition to the truth, they believed in the non-existence of the devil and solved the problem with a passing reference to the function of the power of fear. In the analysis of Satan's position in the system of creation and the chain of causes of evil, he also relied on the two factors of will and divine wisdom in the domination of demons and finally attributing the main role of the realization of evil to God, and in this regard he presented various arguments and answered many doubts. have given
