Abstract

A true view about the phenomenon of revelation is that revelation is a divine reality revealed by God to some of His chosen servants in order that they lead those going astray from evolution path. In the interpretation of revelation, another approach is proposed which is called soul revelation. According to this view, revelation is a phenomenon resulting from man’s soul and existence and a reflection of man’s unconsciousness. Proponents of this view, some of whom are western thinkers, have accepted it due to their lack of understanding the real revelation and its divine origin. No doubt, these thinkers have provided no intellectual and transmitted proof for this interpretation of revelation and have only sufficed to claim it. On the other hand, there are clear-cut and intellectual proofs proving Quranic revelation. Furthermore, the approach of soul revelation has negative outcomes and implications.
