The Nature of Faith and the Rrole of Action in it From the Perspective of the Noble Qur’an According to the Interpretation of Al-Mizan by Allama Tabataba’i

The Noble Qur’an organized the outlines of faith، as well as the outlines of good deeds. It stated in faith that it is faith in God، His angels، His books، His messengers، and the Last Day، its good and its evil. It also organized faith in the unseen، faith in death، faith in heaven، faith in the Day of Judgment، and faith in judgment. It also regulated the duties that a person must undertake in order to achieve the righteous deed in the fullest manner، which are the performance of prayer، payment of zakat، fasting in Ramadan، and pilgrimage to the Sacred House.

In addition to that، the Holy Qur’an left the second matters to clarify the Prophetic Sunnah. The Qur’an organized the broad lines of faith، and left the matter of the subsidiary lines of the Prophetic Sunnah by following our Prophet Muhammad، may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family. To create and strive for reconciliation between the disputing parties، and all of that was based on the actions، sayings and affirmations of the Messenger of God. This organization from the Holy Qur’an first and then from the Sunnah of the Prophet secondly pushes us to search for the truth of faith in the Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah so that it is a guidance for Muslims، and a way to invite others.

For the sake of this research، we chose the interpretation of Al-Mizan by Allamah Tabataba’i from among the dozens of Qur’anic interpretations that were examined in the meaning of the Qur’anic text because it is one of the general and expanded interpretations that is a must in every reference of the scientific and jurisprudence references.

In this research، we will try to shed light on the reality of faith from the perspective of Allama Tabatabai first and compare it with the rest of the Qur’anic interpretations available to people. Then we discuss the reality of the righteous deed، the perfection mentioned in the interpretation of the balance، and compare it with the rest of the interpretations، perhaps this study will be a shining lamp for the Islamic nation.
