The answer to this is that man’s wisdom through heavenly wisdom (the theorem discussed in lesson 22) recognises that there must be other ways of understanding truths and practical duties. However, even if wisdom is not aware of how to realise such ways, it understands that the requisite for God’s wisdom is, that His messages reach the people intact otherwise, it will contradict His aim.

In other words, after recognising that God’s messages should reach people through one or more mediator/s and guide them towards their developmental freedom and fulfil God’s objectives for man’s creation, it will on the basis of God’s perfect qualities, be proved that such messages are in fact immune from intentional and unintentional alterations.

Therefore, if He doesn’t intend His message to be delivered to His servants in the most accurate form, it will be against His wisdom and His wise will denies it. It will also contradict His endless knowledge if God does not know how and through whom to send His message to His servants to keep it intact. Furthermore, it will be against His infinite power if He cannot choose the deserving mediators and protect them against the attacks of Satan.

Therefore, since Almighty God is aware of everything, it is improbable to think that he has chosen a mediator while He has not been aware of his wrong doings (refer to al-An’ām:124). Moreover, according to His endless power it is improbable to suppose that God has not been able to protect His revelation against Satan or any kind of unintentional alterations or forgetfulness (refer to al-Jinn:26-28).

Similarly, with reference to His wisdom, it is unacceptable to suggest that He has not intended to immunise His message against wrong doings (refer to al-Anfāl:42). Thus, it is the requisite for God’s knowledge, power, and wisdom to deliver His message to His servants in the most accurate and perfect form. In this way the immunity of revelation is verified through the ‘Wisdom Theorem’.

Through this discussion, the immunity of the Angel or angels of revelation and also the immunity of the prophets in receiving revelation and their infallibility against intentional or unintentional alteration and forgetfulness in advertising God’s message is proved. It also becomes clear as to why the Holy Qur’an emphasises the honesty of the Angel of revelation and in his power in protecting God’s message and repelling Satan’s attempts.
