a comparative study of natural knowledge of god in calvin's theology and islamic theology (with an emphasis on john calvin and tabatabai)

on tabatabai`s viewpoint, human being is of a particular nature leading to special manner of life and way that is ended to god. , that he is certain that led to the lord is leading and specific traditions and way of life. calvin's theology is based on the acknowledgment of god in the depths of the human mind. it is a theory one may not acquire by common education, rather it is something that each of us knows it in the womb completely and the nature does not let us forget it. in this paper, we have tried to extract the similarities and differences of the views. as is described, heart`s state of being the place for innate knowledge, the need to evolve and mature natural tendency and the effect of sin on such an inner knowledge have been in common, while the purpose of the discussion, the nature of such an inner knowledge, its object and the way in which the knowledge happens are counted as the cases of difference.
