Abstract (EN)

The phenomenon of revelation, which is one of the cornerstones of religions, is always an interesting and controversial subject for people. Every religion has to believe that after the existence of God, it will communicate directly to whomever he wishes or chooses from among his servants through revelation. The acceptance of the revelation, which is a kind of precondition, begins to be questioned in the next process. At this stage, many questions such as the necessity and responsibility of revelation in human life, its place and importance in life, how and why it was revealed come to the fore. Although it does not pose a problem for those who believe in absolute terms and do not make any inquiries, encountering some questions at the point of contacting other people or responding to objections during the process of preaching the religion causes some problems. In this sense, the question of the reliability of revelation comes to the fore more than all the features of revelation. Why and how do we trust that it is from God and true knowledge? questions will always remain on the agenda. These basic questions have been asked since the ages when humanity encountered or started to live with religions; The search for new, impressive and above all convincing answers continues. It seems that every answer to these issues, which are discussed extensively in the context of theology and philosophy, cannot exceed the dimension of subjectivity. Just like the existence of Allah and belief in the hereafter, questions about revelation will also retain their place as knowledge of the unseen, which must be believed as a prerequisite. Keywords: Revelation. Spirit, Mind and Prophethood.
