the Possibility of the Superior

The principle “the Possibility of the Superior” in Proof of Imam (PBUH)’s Existence

Introduction:

1- Undoubtedly, a man with all the perfections and goodness is nobler than other humans with only some of them.

2: When a possible creature is created with the less perfections than another possible one, the possible superior one must have been created before the other.

Conclusion:

By observing the crowd of humans with just some perfections, we realize the essence of “Imam [Mahdī (mgehr)’s] presence”. He is the noblest and has all perfections.

Suhrawardī said, “Whenever a possible humble (weak human being) is created, it requires that the superior possible (an Infallible Imam (pbuh)) must have been created before”.

Aristotle, ‘We must believe in the celestial world; the beings who are more dignified and superior [than ordinary people]”.
