The essential role of this concept and the way of believing in the existence or non-existence of God is obvious in all aspects of human life, and it is the atheistic attitude towards God that determines the nature of human existence in general and the meaning of freedom and moral responsibility in particular. Therefore, the knowledge of the nature of divine attributes is one of the most important theological topics that thinkers have discussed and discussed about it, regardless of their methods and intellectual foundation. God pays. The results of this study showed that there are many similarities between Gilson's view as a Neutomai philosopher and Fadl Ibn Shazan as a Shiite theologian whose philosophical thoughts on the nature and attributes of God are similar to those of the Peripatetic philosophers. One of their commonalities is their same philosophical method, that is, the method of using reason in their arguments and their same opinion in the compatibility of reason and religion, which, despite differences in the way of expressing the content, has caused the common opinion.

2 - Analytical Study of the Factors Affecting the Different Approach of Sunni Commentators in the Verses Concerning the virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH)

There are different approaches in interpreting the verses of the virtues, which are all due to religious beliefs, social conditions and differences towards Shiism. In addition, the social conditions and political rule of a sect have also contributed to this issue; The silence about some verses agreed upon by the Companions, the interpretation in contrast to famous opinion, neglect or distortion of sources, ideological factors and obligatory justification of the verses of virtues are the most important ways for these commentators to go through the interpretation of these verses.

3 - Comparison of reason and its realm from the point of view of Mulla Sadra and Mirza Isfahani
Shahabaldin vahidi mehrjardi mohsen marvi namThe word ‘’Reason’’, is one of the notions that have been defined variously.

Some identified it with the human being and some considered it as origin of misleading and faults of Humanity and even the cause of our falling from Heaven. According to some Reason is the same as philosophy and to others it should be separated from philosophy. Philosophers have been glorifying it and the Ahl-Hadith have been denying it. Meanwhile Mulla Sadra (Muslim philosopher) considered Reason as an analytic Faculty and a being placed in highly grades of soul(Nafs), that comes in divisions from potential to Used(bi al-mostafad) Reason. On the other hand Mirza considered the Reason as a created being and as an illuminated by God which is clear by itself and a thing by which others are cleared. He sees it as a reality to insight and not as a part of soul. This research is to compare Reason between Sadra and Mirza. Manuscript profile
