He used religious sources not as one of the soureces besides others sources but his use of religious sources was poincipally and methodologically speaking it we a king of multiplicity. Thus the fruits of this approach is concerned with the Quran, proof and ghosis. Key words: the reality of man, the world of pre – existence and divine images, promise and covenant manchr('39')s promise, Godchr('39')s promise.
