In some of his writings, Avicenna deals with the question of prophecy and points to it as the highest human-divine level. In these writings, prophecy is regarded as a part of the system of Avicenna’s practical philosophy and as an expression of the necessity of one’s goodness and happiness, especially since the prophet is the one who leads man to salvation. In Avicenna’s eyes, prophecy is to be regarded at the same time as the continuity of the creation process and as the highest degree of reason. It has a divine nature, embodies holy reason and represents a person who alone makes up the model on which people depend. Avicenna’s analysis of prophecy is also tied to a political perspective. Therefore, it can be assumed that such a model goes shoulder to shoulder with its Jewish-Greek counterpart and thereby becomes a symbol of an ideal person in the Iranian imagination. The common point of Avicennian analytics in all the indicated aspects is the inconsistency of his approach in the sense that he moves from a philosophical method of analysis to an eschatological hermeneutics and his prophetic guiding figure suddenly does not serve the local life, but above all a moral model for the hereafter. In this article, we will first try to examine various aspects of Avicenna’s various perceptions regarding prophecy in order to then show the inconsistencies that exists between each of these perceptions.
