Abstract :

One of the facts of the universe is the existence of mediators between God and mankind. In many verses of the Qur'an and narrations, the existence of material and spiritual mediators (such as angels) and their roles are mentioned in more detail, and the intellect, the soul, the pen, etc. are mentioned as mediators. The subject of the wisdom of mediators and their role in the world has a special and great place in Islamic sciences. Commentators, theologians, philosophers and mystics have proposed different topics in their writings and independently to explain and investigate this issue. This discussion is a necessary introduction to solve some other issues. Muslim scholars have paid attention to this issue according to the Qur'an and hadiths. The discussion of mediators and their role in the world and the relationship between their influence and God's activity is very important. Many of the problems of Wahhabis and Wahhabi sects are solved by explaining this discussion. The reason why Wahhabis say why should we bring intermediaries with God Almighty and why should we bring anything other than God at all is that they have not resolved the issue of intermediaries and their role in the world from the perspective of verses, traditions and reason. In this research, after explaining the types of mediators between Almighty God and creatures, we discuss the reasons and wisdom of the existence of these mediators. The reasons that God performs His actions through mediators are: The failure of God's purpose of creation without some mediators. like the prophets, introducing the greatness of these mediators to encourage adherence to them, the orderliness of the universe.
