The Theory of Ibtina'

Religious knowledge is: “the result of a justified attempt to discover religious statements and teachings"; the philosophy of religious knowledge is: "a philosophical knowledge-like discipline (it is close to be a philosophical knowledge) which studies the general commands of the main discussions of religious knowledge through a rational and comprehensive perspective".One of the most important responsibilities of the philosophy of religious knowledge is to explain the process of creation of religious knowledge and its changes and courses. The theory of 'Ibtina' tries to explain the process of creation of religious knowledge and its changes and courses (and determine the bases of designing a comprehensive and new "logic of understanding religion"). The summary of this theory is as follows: "religious knowledge is the result of the effect and cooperation of the five bases of religion - as a Divine message - on each other such that this effect and cooperation is periodic and permanent ". This theory is based on four principles as explained below:First principle: religious knowledge is created through a process and religious knowledge is the result of other factors;Second principle: the factors involved in the process of creation of religious knowledge are two-sided (they may be correct or incorrect) and as a result, religious knowledge may be right or wrong; Third principle: religion has message and contains five bases involved in understanding the message;Fourth principle: discovery of religion and its correct and comprehensive use is based on the discovery of the five bases and their correct and comprehensive use and understanding religion is based on prevention of incorrect and misguiding factors
