The Scientific Justification of Revelation

Summary/Abstract: Classical discourses on prophethood and other fields of religion in Muslim thought began to be expressed in new forms in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the pressure of Western philosophical ideas. Recent scholars have tried to prove the necessity of prophethood and the need for it from a rational perspective against the criticism and attacks of the West and its positivistic point of view on Islam and precisely the issues related to prophethood. Even though the existence of God and the fact that He created the universe and beings have been tried to be proven with much scientific evidence in addition to rational proofs in Islamic thought, attempts to prove prophethood and revelation with scientific evidence are relatively rare. Scientific justification, especially on faith issues, has also been seen as an essential and courageous initiative that is not on the agenda of eastern culture. The experimental studies of 19th-century Western scientists and philosophers on the soul and similar subjects and their scientific explanations on issues such as hypnosis, magnetism, genius, and communication between living things and instinct strengthened the hand of Muslim scholars and led them to attempt to prove the revelation scientifically. In this study, the possibility of scientific justification of revelation has been examined.
