Abstract :
The secret why God has named the prophets, spirits, and creatures as ‘Kalameh’ depends on understanding the how of making the material with, in, and from the existence is related. God has called the creative impact as ‘word’ so that He states that “my words to whatever I desire are that if I say ‘be’ it will be created instantly”. Then, if there is something intermediary between the subjective act of God and the creature happening it is just word. But if the action of God is His nature so that there is nothing in between His nature and the object, the action is called ‘Kalam’ and the one created out of this action is called ‘Kalameh’. That is why creatures are called ‘Kalamat’ , thus they are create out of the creation word of ‘be’. In the holy Koran too there is an indication of God’s word and the Jesus. If it is true that the words made by human beings are those from his soul then one can say that the existing words are the outward manifestation of the compassionate spirit. In a sense that, the compassionate God makes words and the overall universe come to existence.
