Abstract

Verse 55 of Surah Ma'edeh is one of the verses that Shi'ite commentators and theologians have suggested various viewpoints about its arguments. Based on Shi'ite viewpoint, this verse argues Imam Ali's Wilayah and Imamat. One of the commentators who has criticized the Shiite viewpoint and brought many problems and doubts into is Fakhr Razi. This study seeks to study and criticize the problems and faults raised by Fakhr Razi through using the views of Ayatollah Mohammad Hadi Ma'arefat in a descriptive-analytical method, then it proves that none of the problems and doubts that he brought up is not true including, not descending a verse in dignity of Imam Ali (pbuh), his lack of argumentation for his guardianship about this verse, the verse not arguing the Wilayah, the contradiction between giving the ring as charity and obligatory zakat, the contradiction between giving the ring as charity at the time of saying prayer and his Ikhlash (pure intention) and his complete attention to Allah in saying praying, the action "giving the ring as charity", lack of agreement between the previous and the next verses and the verse arguing Imam Ali's Imamat, and the contradiction between Imam Ali's poverty and having a ring.
