As the last divine religion, Islam is free from radicalism. Even its attitude towards revenge and punishment brims with life. It urges the believers to stand against the enemies and be kind to the oppressed and underprivileged. According to the Holy Qur’an, “Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves” (2:143). The Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) also states, “Verily, Allah has sent me as a blessing for all the nations of the world.” Not only is Islam the religion of mercy, but also the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) is a blessing for mankind. This article is an attempt to unveil the luminous face of Islam through La Osr va Haraj Rule (Denegation of Hardship Rule).

Belief in God’s existence is the most fundamental ideological issue and a matter for constant debate between the materialists and secularists and the believers in God. Therefore, the seekers of truth should first address the question as to whether God exists or not. There are different ways which would help find the answer; however, the most important ones are divided into five categories, including those proposed by the mystics, those proposed by the philosophers of religion, those proposed by the scholars of ilm al-kalām, those proposed by the natural scientists, and finally those proposed by the Holy Qur’an and sunnah. The above categories are further divided into a number of subcategories which are briefly discussed in this paper to facilitate further research and study. It is worth underlining that this paper mainly studies and compares the techniques proposed by the philosophers of religion and scholars of ilm al-kalām which are based on the Holy Qur’an and Shia hadīth collections.

Undoubtedly, Imam Ali (AS) is the second greatest interpreter of the Holy Qur’an and its sciences after the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW). Part of the Qur’anic sciences was presented to his followers in the form of quotations, narratives, and sermons. They were passed on to later generations in narrative and exegetical collections, including Nahj al-Balāghah. Although its compiler, Seyyed Razī, only collected some of Imam Ali’s sermons, letters, and pithy sayings, one would find traces of the Qur’anic sciences, their types, virtues of the Qur’an, Qur’anic teachings, its recitation rules, its interpretation and exegesis, morphology, and finally its freedom from distortion.
