Abstract

In this research, an attempt is made to explain rationality as the logic and method of finding the truth and understanding and propagating the transcendent religious teachings from the two perspectives of Islam and ignorance.
The article claims that Islam and Jahiliyyah are in a fundamental and continuous confrontation. Confrontations show themselves in different axes; Beliefs, moral, behavioral and human judgment; But in this article, only the field of belief and only the method and logic of truth-finding are discussed.
The main finding of the article is that rationality is a logic for truth-finding and a common language for humanity; Therefore, propagating religion and transcendent revelatory teachings through rationality is the best and most convincing method for different sections of human societies.
The importance of the debate is due to the fact that it is necessary to determine the ideological boundaries and draw a practical and just trajectory, especially after the recent seditions and deviant and takfiri currents in the world today.
The method of data collection in this research is mostly library and the method of data analysis and analysis is exploratory, descriptive and analytical.
