The perception acquired through revelation is a special perception that differs from all other human perceptions shared by all human beings, as Allah, Almighty, creates it in His prophets (PBUH) ,in a way that is free from ambiguity or error, and they do not need to use reasoning, seek evidence, or establish proof.
This article deals with the subject of revelation and its discussions, which were raised by (Sayyid Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim) (may Allah sanctify his secret) in his book “Sciences of the Qur’an”. It shows al-Hakim's fundamental approach to this important and sensitive subject, and his criticism of the uncertainty of “psychological revelation” that was adopted by Orientalists, through these three dimensions:
1- The conclusive historical evidence, and the nature of the circumstances that the Prophet (PBUH) went through, refuse to believe in and accept this theory.
2- The content of the Holy Quran, including legislation, ethics, beliefs and history, does not agree with this theory in interpreting the Quranic revelation.
3- The Prophet's (PBUH) position on the Qur'anic phenomenon clearly testifies to the rejection of interpreting the Qur'anic phenomenon by the theory of psychological revelation.
