Method of Study: 

The research method used in this article is a research in the field of analytical-descriptive and library-type research, where the information collected through content analysis has been analyzed and descriptively analyzed the ten stages of human knowledge with an approach to verses and traditions.

The first stage of cognition takes place in the structure of "intelligence". In the process of reasoning, by receiving "knowledge" as a cognitive content, science becomes knowledge. The knowledge absorbed by the intellect is established in the structure of "dream". "Thinking" is a process that uses stored information to be used in the next step. "Dhikr" deals with recalling the knowledge stored in the heart. "Jurisprudence" transforms the information stored in the heart into faith with the help of desire. "Certainty", the evolved stage of faith, which in a new structure of the self, becomes wisdom. "Wisdom" is the result of the process of all intellectual and heart matters that are available to the soul to realize action.

The adaptation and transformation of wisdom with the truths of the world is one of the other functions created by the soul to connect the results obtained from human science with the truths of pure divine knowledge, which is created in the "truth" stage. In this article, we intend to examine the ten stages of human knowledge based on the verses of the Qur'an and the traditions of the infallible imams (a.s.) do.
