Investigation and criticism of Iqbal Lahori on the analogy of revelation and religious experience based on the supreme wisdom

Abstract

There are two main views about the nature and nature of revelation: propositional revelation and experiential revelation. Based on propositional revelation, God reveals truths and propositions to the Prophet, but based on experiential revelation, the Prophet had an encounter with God and Its interpretation conveys its encounter and religious experience to others. In his works, Iqbal did not speak explicitly about the meaning or nature of revelation, but there are two opinions about Iqbal, one is a famous and inferred opinion that he believed in the point of view of religious experience, but according to the second theory that was quoted from Iqbal himself in the book "Zinda Roud" that he He believes in language and propositional revelation, so there is no difference between the Supreme Wisdom and Iqbal Lahori's view on revelation, but according to the famous opinion, criticisms can be considered based on the Supreme Wisdom.

This article, in fact, aims to criticize the famous view; It is based on transcendental wisdom. After describing the perspective of religious experience and its basic concepts, as well as the description of revelation from the perspective of transcendental wisdom, this article reviews and reviews this perspective, and the differences between revelation and religious experience based on transcendental wisdom.
