The book The Doctrine of Innate Nature (Ṭīnat) in the Qurʾānic Verses and Ḥadīths, authored by Mohammad Reza Armiyun, was published in 2025 by Dar al‑Hadith Publications. This 257‑page Persian work addresses one of the significant theological themes found in revelatory teachings.
Although references to ṭīnat (literally “clay”; a technical term for the primordial formative substance underlying human creation) appear in the Qurʾān and numerous narrations, the subject has not been comprehensively studied in theological and ḥadīth scholarship. The book situates the doctrine within broader teachings on origin (mabdaʾ) and eschatology (maʿād), demonstrating its impact on a more precise understanding of faith and belief.
This comprehensive treatment reveals the inseparable interconnection between doctrinal themes and wider theological issues.
The book is organized into three chapters:
- Understanding the doctrine of ṭīnat.
- Qurʾānic verses and narrations related to ṭīnat.
- The role of ṭīnat in religious beliefs.
