Ibn Hazm's Moderating faith; the method to gain Religious Beliefs

Ibn Hazam Andalusian has two approaches to the epistemology. The first one is based on Aristotle's logic, and the second based on Zahereieh’s intellectual foundations. He, in the later, has emphasized on the fourth way of acquiring knowledge. Accordingly, one acquires special knowledge through the affirmation of the Prophet and the faith which God creates in the heart. According to his semantic method, he has taken the fourth path from the revelation and beliefs based on it. Referring to Zahereieh's thoughts of Ibn Hazam, it will be clear that what obtained through believing in the Prophet is complete, finite distinctive sets which guarantee human felicity that cannot be obtained by the other ways. Nevertheles, he does not consider the revelation as the first source of all knowledge. In his view, belief is higher than knowledge, and the difference in the number of ways to acquire knowledge in the two approaches should be sought at this point. This view is called “moderate faith".
