The Relationship between Reason and Religion from Motahhari's Viewpoint

One of the oldest and controversial issues That first springs to philosophers and theologians mind was relationship between reason and religion، and one of the consequences of This controversies were division of philosophers and theologians to fideism or inclusive and moderate critical rationalist. According to martyr Motahhari، reason in itself does not contradict religion; and when reason conflicts with religious law، reason should be regarded as authoritative. According to him، reason comprehends the spirit of Islam and acts accordingly; although، it may apparently conflict with some narrations and traditions. He neither believes in fideism and nor could justify Clifford''s inclusive and strong rationalism. However، it seems to me that he agree with moderate rationalism of Thomas Aquinas and the like; although his idea in this respect to some extent is differ from them، especially in explaining of this problem.
