The systematic extraction model of the knowledge sources and tools from The Holy Quran

The issue of the knowledge sources and tools and their proper separation from each other has always been discussed by the scholars of epistemology. Because of the supreme position of the Quran with Muslim scholars in explaining Islamic thought, paying attention to its teachings on this issue and acquiring the Quranic knowledge sources and tools, as well as other epistemic issues for Islamic epistemologists, will be especially important. In addition to using the usual methods in Quranic thematic studies to solve this problem, a new approach can provide more complete results in identifying and separating of the Quranic knowledge sources and tools. In this heavenly book, the use of words with epistemic load in a particular form provides us a model for the systematic extraction of knowledge sources and tools. In this research, first the structural unity of some of the Quranic expressions is shown in the use of words that are important from the aspect of epistemology in the Quranic terminology. Then the lexical and terminological meaning of the epistemological vocabulary used in this model is examined. Subsequently, by following this model in all verses, the Quranic knowledge sources and tools are extracted and then they are presented in classification form.
