Abstract
The adjective “al-Samad” in the Holy Quran has a wide semantic capacity that is not only descriptive, but also the ontological foundation of wilayah. Samadiyyah means absolute lack of need, perfection and existential simplicity, and complete purposefulness and reference of all beings. The present study has used a descriptive-analytical method to examine the relationship between divine Samadiyyah and human wilayah from the perspective of Ayatollah Javadi. The findings of the study show that from the perspective of this contemporary theologian, divine wilayah is the manifestation of God’s Samadiyyah in planning and encompassing the world, and human wilayah also becomes meaningful when he becomes the embodiment of Samadiyyah. Hence, divine Samadiyyah has acted as a criterion in creating coherence between Quranic verses, philosophical arguments, and intuitive mysticism in explaining wilayah in the two divine and human spheres. Thus, divine Samadiyyah is both the origin of divine wilayah and the criterion for realizing human wilayah. The realization of guardianship in a human being depends on the manifestation of samadhi in the three dimensions of insight, inclination, and action. The levels of guardianship also depend on the degree of realization of "samadhi" in the existential plane of a human being.
