Abstract

The way of creation of beings, their relationship with the Supreme Being and in other words the interpretation of creation has always been one of the fundamental issues and challenges of human thought. In philosophy, the theory of creation is designed to explain how God created beings. Also, in the Shia narrative treasure, while there are different narrative styles, such as; Prayers, sermons, debates, propositions are observed in the interpretation of creation and the presentation of creation teachings. Since each theory has certain features, the current research has investigated and criticized the creation features of the theory of "Sadour" and the sermons of the innocents (PBUH) based on the content analysis method. "Innovation" and "composition" in the sermons of the innocents (PBUH), "Issuing" and "Faiz" have a high conceptual frequency in the theory of issuance. The findings show that; in "issuance"; Creatures are created based on "Men Shae" but in creation based on "La Men Shae". In the "invention" emphasized by the sermons of the infallibles (pbuh), God's will and power; It will be absolute, as opposed to issuing, which is done without will. In "invention", creatures without history, example and leaven are created. Therefore, there is a difference between the creator and the creature, but; In issuing, it is necessary to match between issuing and Masdar (origin). In "Issuing", the presence of "intermediary" is necessary in creating multiples. What if God, as a simple being, cannot create non-simple beings without mediation, but in creation and on the basis of "Sna'a al-Sha'a La Man Sha'e", beings are created by God's absolute will and power and without the need for a mediator.
