The Correction and Investigation of the “Al-Risala Al-Sultaniyyah Al-Ahmadiyyah fi esbat Al-Esmat Al-Nabaviyyah Al-Muhammadiyyah” Written by Allamah Jalal al-Din Sayyed Abdullah bin Sharafshah Husseini (810 AH)

The book “Al-Risala Al-Sultanate Al-Ahmadiyyah fi esbat Al-Esmah Al-Nabaviyyah Al-Muhammadiyyah” written by Allama Jalal al-Din Sayyed Abdullah bin Sharafshah Alavi Husseini (810 AH) is the theologian and narrator of the Hilla Theological School, a student of Nasir al-Din Kashani Hali (755 AH) and the master of Ibn fhad Hali. The reason for writing this book is to answer the questions of Sultan Ahmad Jalayri (813 AH), the last king of the Ilkhanid dynasty. Also, in a debate with a contemporary scholar in the presence of this king, the author of the book undertook to write an extensive book and to state the arguments on the subject of the indisputability of the infallibility of the prophets.

Two copies of this dissertation are available, both of which have been used in its correction and research. In the introduction of the book, the author deals with the knowledge of the prophet and the status of prophethood, in the first chapter, the meaning and concept of infallibility and its proof for the prophets, in the second chapter, the answer to the doubt of the infallibility of the prophets and in the end, he presented an ethical discussion. Citing the verses of the Holy Quran, the narrations of the Infallibles (PBUH), the use of rational arguments, the use of the books of the predecessors, the coherence and inconsistency of the text of the manuscript, as well as the order of the author in classifying the contents are the benefits of this work.

In this book, the infallibility of the prophets, especially the Holy Prophet (pbuh), is introduced as unquestionable, absolute and maximum, meaning that the prophets were infallible from the beginning of their birth to the end of their lives and in all areas of life and suffered no mistakes. They will not be forgotten.

This book, in addition to addressing the main issue – which is to prove the indisputability of the infallibility of all the prophets and to answer the doubts about it – includes several other pieces of information, including the author’s method of answering theological arguments and the establishment of Allama Hali (726 AH). The first-hand sources on the subject of infallibility of the prophets in theology have dealt with the subject of infallibility in an argumentative and ijtihad manner.
