The epistemological bases of Mirza Mehdi Isfahani (Rah) formed in the realms of linguistics, cosmology and theology on the basis of the theory of innate nature (al-fiṭrah). In his belief, the innate nature in its general and widespread meaning is direct encounter of the reasonable with the outer world and omission of the pictures and mental conceptions in the realm of reasoning and thinking. The light of knowledge and reason bring to light the outer things for the reasonable and the mental pictures have no intervention in the knowledge process. But the knowledge of God is by an innate knowledge (ma’rifah al-fiṭrī), neither by rational picture nor by the light of knowledge and reason. The innate knowledge of God is to receive the knowledge of God by God, and human being enters this worldly life with this knowledge. Comprehensive knowledge of God is impossible and the only way for rational knowledge is exit of the two boundaries.

The issue of the knowledge sources and tools and their proper separation from each other has always been discussed by the scholars of epistemology. Because of the supreme position of the Quran with Muslim scholars in explaining Islamic thought, paying attention to its teachings on this issue and acquiring the Quranic knowledge sources and tools, as well as other epistemic issues for Islamic epistemologists, will be especially important. In addition to using the usual methods in Quranic thematic studies to solve this problem, a new approach can provide more complete results in identifying and separating of the Quranic knowledge sources and tools. In this heavenly book, the use of words with epistemic load in a particular form provides us a model for the systematic extraction of knowledge sources and tools. In this research, first the structural unity of some of the Quranic expressions is shown in the use of words that are important from the aspect of epistemology in the Quranic terminology. Then the lexical and terminological meaning of the epistemological vocabulary used in this model is examined. Subsequently, by following this model in all verses, the Quranic knowledge sources and tools are extracted and then they are presented in classification form.
