In this research, by examining the views of Avicenna and Mulla Sadra, the role of action in the completion of theoretical reason, in two major schools of Islamic philosophy, namely Hikmat al-Masha and al-Taaliyyah, has been considered. The importance of this issue is due to the explanation of the relationship between science and practice in the opinions of these two schools and the evolution of this discussion from the Peripatetic school to the transcendental wisdom. This is important among the metaphysical and moral issues related to the gap between opinion and action. The purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between practical reason - such as ethics and Sharia - and human worldly happiness and its alignment with the perfection of theoretical reason. The results of the research show that according to Ibn Sina, the perfection of the human intellect from the beastly to the useful is through the active intellect, but after the human intellect is actualized, it needs actions in order to connect to a higher intensity and level, through which it is freed from material and physical affairs. And it can be understood and united with general forms, which is the completion of theoretical reason. This theory in Mulla Sadra's opinion, since it considers the soul as the physicality of occurrence, it is also valid in the levels of potential intellect to the actual, that is, there is a two-way relationship between opinion and action in the levels of the soul in the physical, exemplary and rational world. The explanation of Avicenna's and Mulla Sadra's opinions in the field of Islamic philosophy shows the evolution and approach of this theory more clearly, which is analyzed in this research based on the method of dialogue between their opinions.
