For this purpose, a qualitative research method of library studies used for religious documents and sources. From this point of view, revelation is a phenomenon beyond the limit of human thought and scientific tools cannot recognize it as it will not experience or repeat again.
CONCLUSION: In the process of receiving revelation, the Prophet, in a heavenly relationship, receives truths from the unseen world by his heart, it occurs without the support of his organs and senses, and without the power of his thought and intellect. Therefore, some people believe in that the truth of revelation is unknown to man and it is not possible to provide a comprehensive definition for it. At the same time, what has been said try to bring the human mind closer to this phenomenon and spiritual connection. Therefore, the possibility of recognizing the nature of revelation does not require denying the principle of revelation and prophecy of the prophets, Because revelation and prophecy is a theological issue that has been confirmed by conclusive proofs.
