Based on the verses of the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Infallible Imams, the perfect human being is God's vicegerent on earth and must therefore benefit from the divine attributes of action as much as possible. A necessary consequence of benefiting from divine attributes of action is that one should also possess, within one's capacity, the station of "Be, and it is" (kun fa-yakūn), which is the prerogative of the Divine Presence. The station of "Be, and it is" in the logic of the Holy Qur'an means that if a person wills something, there should be no gap between their will and the existence of that thing, and as soon as they will it, that thing is realized. From the verses of the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Infallible Imams, it appears that God Almighty grants such a station to His special servants both in this world and in the hereafter. It is through this station that prophets and divine saints acquire the ability to intervene and dispose in the world of possibility and perform extraordinary deeds. This research, utilizing the verses of the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Infallible Imams and employing an analytical-descriptive method, has demonstrated that humans have the potential to reach a station through obedience to divine commands where willing becomes not only being able, but actually being, and if they will something, by divine permission, that thing is realized.
