Belief in Divine Agency and Its Non-Contradiction with the Laws Governing Nature by a Comparative Approach to Duʿāʾ (Arabic: دعاء, Supplication or Request of People from God) from the Perspective of the Holy Quran
The agency (practical faculty of Divine) of God Almighty has a strong presence in all aspects of his life from the perspective of a religious believer, which encourages Duʿāʾ (Arabic: دعاء, plural: adʿīya, أدعیة, the supplication or request of people from God) to achieve the desired and ensures its...

| description | The agency (practical faculty of Divine) of God Almighty has a strong presence in all aspects of his life from the perspective of a religious believer, which encourages Duʿāʾ (Arabic: دعاء, plural: adʿīya, أدعیة, the supplication or request of people from God) to achieve the desired and ensures its acceptance is a manifestation of this presence. Therefore, the analysis of the relationship between natural law as inviolable and the effect of factors such as prayer as the basis of Divine agency is one of the fundamental issues that has attracted the minds of religious scholars in eliminating (Arabic: رَفْع, Romanized: Rafʿ) and refusing (Arabic: دَفْع, Romanized: Dafʿ) natural disasters in the creation system. In a sense, the fulfillment of supplications to the causality is considered incompatible and a breach of the laws governing nature. On the other hand, some believe that the fulfillment of supplications does not conflict with the law of nature and can be analyzed in the same way. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly explain the fulfillment of supplications and its relationship with the causality considering the place of supplication and its impact on the intellectual system derived from religion. Accordingly, the purpose of this article, which has been organized by documentary analytical method, is to investigate how Duʿāʾ affects the system of natural law system as one of the challenges of the believer’s life. The findings of this research show that from the perspective of the Holy Quran, the fulfillment of supplications is evaluated as a manifestation of Divine agency, as the realization of a phenomenon due to supplications and in light of the effect of supernatural causes on material things is not outside the rules governing nature. |
