The value of kash/unveiling and ilham/intution on Maturidite epistemology

Knowledge, which means "science" in the Qu'ran, which is the main source of Islam, forms the basis of the branches of science existing in the Islamıc thought system. The fact that information is so important has enabled us to approach its authenticity and validity meticulously. Imam Maturidi, one of the scholars of Kalam, first identified the sources of knowledge and became the first thinker to consider knowledge as a theory in his work. The issue that we focus on in our study is the discussions on whether kash/unveılıng and ılham/intution have informational value. For the purpose of better understand the subject, the interpretations of the mystics, philosophers, scholars belonging to the Al-Salafıyya, Mutazıla, Shia and Ash'arite sects, about the source of knowledge are discussed. In the our last part, which form the core of our thesis, the works of Imam Maturidi and scholars have been examined and their views on our subject are given.
