Revelation from Molla Sadra's Perspective

Revelation is one of the issues that scholars, especially Muslim scholars, have constantly attended to and considered its different aspects. Sadrol Motallehin has also considered and analyzed its different aspects in his works. What the present article intends to introduce is that, in his analysis, Molla Sadra has adopted a non-verbal approach to revelation, but at the same time, he has also adopted a verbal approach and this is the way through which he has tried to bring the philosophers’ and theologians’ points of view closer to each other. The identification of Molla Sadra’s views on the essence of revelation and its scope and his views on divine word and explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of this wise theologian’s views can help us to better understand the quality of his doubt about divine word.
