Revelation as Special Perception beyond Senses, Mind.

Share the post :

The introduction to the article explains the fact that the Prophet received knowledge directly from Allah, Almighty, without passing through ordinary human sensory or mental links, then clarifies the concept of revelation as a supernatural perception that differs from ordinary intellectual feeling, and the characteristics of revelation as being esoteric and supra-sensory, and characterized by elevation, purpose, and privacy.

We discuss, in the research, the concept of revelation from a philosophical perspective, and the doubts that were raised about the revelation of prophecy, in a way allowed for doubting his divinity and distorting the biography and heritage of the Prophet. 

On the other hand, we explains revelation from a theological perspective, the truth of the idea of ​​“divine speech” among the various sects, and the theory of the new theologians. The research also shows the nature of the divine connection between Allah, Almighty, and the Prophet is a divine gift that cannot be acquired, the differences between revelation and the rest of the sources of knowledge (sense, reason and inspiration), and rational and transmitted and historical evidence that prove that revelation is not the product of the senses or the mind. It also explains that if the soul turns away from the motives of nature, it will be connected to happiness, as the divine holiness will be reflected upon it, and will see the greatest signs of Allah, Almighty. Therefore, the revelation that descends is received by the soul without the participation of the apparent senses. 

The conclusion is some results and recommendations.
