Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the concept of reason based on Quranic verses by analytical-documentary method. According to the verses of the Qur'an, reason is one of the most important intellectual processes from which three meanings have been deduced. In the first sense, reason is like light emitted from within. In this sense, reason means man's relationship with the divine and spiritual dimension of his soul, which while illuminating the divine dimension of the soul, as a halo of light, encompasses the totality and reality of the soul and controls the undesirable desires of the soul. . After that, reason is like a ray of light that shines on objects and events from within and illuminates their reality and totality. In this sense, it is in the light of reason that the verse of objects and events as well as their implicit meanings are explained. This stage of reasoning means reasoning. Thirdly, reasoning is like a mirror that reflects the truth. This kind of reasoning indicates the relation of human existence with objects and phenomena.
