AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE INTELLECT, THE UNSEEN AND REVELATION IN THE QUR'AN

This article aims to prove the complementary relationship between the reason, unseen and revelation because they are not different from each other.

Furthermore, the author is going to present the efforts Muslim scholars in this domain.
