| Summary: | This paper discusses the evolution of the doctrine of the first creation in
religions of Abrahamic faith, especially Christianity and Islam, Christianity
with the concept of Logos and Prototokos, and Islam with the
understanding of Light of Muḥammad (Nūr Muḥammad or Ḥaqīqat alMuḥammadiyyah). The development of these concepts exerts an impact in
shaping the faith of these religions, especially on Christians and Muslims
sufis and Shī‘ites. This research employs the qualitative methodology in
which materials that include holy scriptures, books, journal articles, and
others are investigated and compared. Findings reveal that this doctrine
exists in each religion, although it is absent in the religious scriptures of the
Hebrew Bible, New Testaments, and the Qur‘ān. The issue is due to the
method of allegorical interpretation of certain verses of the scriptures that
originated from Plato. This doctrine develops on the same framework of
Neoplatonism despite different names of personalities. |
