Abstract

Conferment of the Exaggerators, in the sense that God has delegated his work to another, is examined conferment in creation, religious law, forgiveness, audit and volition depending on its objects. Conferment in Creation has been invoked as an audible and rational arguments. In the rational reference to this notion, the teaching of first intellect is applied to the divine allies. And in this aspect, the possibilities of the first intellect are also portrayed as the efficient cause. Studying this process on the basis of rational analysis and referring to the philosophers’ words will reveal that this citation is not portable. To philosophers, the first intellect is a comprehensive sense of the possible perfections and the issuance of lower religious possibilities from the first intellect is in order to include collective on detailed. Also, the adjustment of the first intellect to the divine allies is only sensible in the sense that the ally after complete worship, contemplates the fullest of possible perfects and unites with the first intellect on the basis of identity of subject and object. This unity of body connection sense is not the merging or dissolving of one into another; but, it is achieved on the basis of perfect understanding completely. The result is that the teaching of first intellect and the issuance of possibilities lower than that do not support the notion of the conferment of the exaggerators. Also, the adjustment of the first intellect to the (perfect human) allies is meaningful only on the basis of identity of subject and object.
