Some of the findings of this study are as follows: the intuitive and internal nature of innate knowledge, the guidance provided by innate knowledge, the impact of sin on innate knowledge, the distinction between nature and Fitrah, and the creation of man in the form of God are among the commonalities and differences in their views on the nature of humanity, the style of theorizing, determinism, and free will are among the most important aspects of difference. The comparative approach revealed that Hakim Shahabadi's theorization in the field of the epistemological functions of Fitrah is superior to Calvin's views due to its scope, stability, depth, and argumentative reasoning, and it possesses greater scientific richness and epistemological impacts
