Abstract
In this research, we address the doctrine of Al Badaa at the Imami Shiites and Sunnis. We initially defined Al Badaa, linguistically and terminologically, which meant appearance after concealment. Then, we talked about beginning in the Imami Shiite doctrine, which saw that beginning is the appearance after manifestation, and saw that this does not It pertains to the knowledge of God Almighty, that is, attributing ignorance to God Almighty in some matters, which led the Sunnis to understand the beginning according to the Imamis in a way other than its reality that they approved of, which led them, that is: the Sunnis, to accuse the Imamis in terms that do not befit them, and their doctrinal role. Nor by the family of the Prophet, the possessors of knowledge, who are firmly rooted in knowledge, We hardly find among the Sunni scholars anyone whose knowledge rivaled the Prophet’s family, peace be upon them, so we saw that what was raised by the Sunnis towards the Imamis was an apparent fabrication that did not lead to tangible doctrinal results. Rather, their argument, peace be upon them, was stronger than the arguments of the Sunnis, as they refuted the beginnings. A refutation that led to tangible results by dividing it into knowledge after ignorance, and revelation and clarity with regard to man, but His knowledge, Glory be to Him, is not encompassed by time or space, for He knows everything and nothing is hidden from Him. This research has produced multiple benefits for the doctrine of beginning, including a doctrine related to communication. To the Creator who is worshiped, including education that leads to refining man and correcting his behavior towards the correct religion.
