چکیده:
The discussion of religious rationality is one of the most important topics in the field of religious studies. Some argue for maximal rationality and consider each individual religious teaching to be directly logically provable. Exactly at the opposite point is a view that believes measuring religious propositions with reason conflicts with faith, and that religiosity has no affinity with rationalism. Others, while believing in the provability of some religious propositions, consider them open to criticism. In this article, based on Allameh Tabataba'i's theory of real and conventional perceptions and the division of religious propositions into theoretical and practical, we have examined the rationality of each of these two parts separately and considered religion to be wise in both parts. The rationality of theoretical propositions, since they are classified under real perceptions, lies in their logical provability. However, although practical propositions are outside the reach of proof due to being conventional, this does not mean they are irrational; because their rationality depends on the rational ends that are attributed to them.

In this article, based on Allameh Tabataba'i's theory of real and conventional perceptions and the division of religious propositions into theoretical and practical, we have examined the rationality of each of these two parts separately and have considered religion to be wise in both parts.
The problem with all three viewpoints mentioned above is that in them, all aspects of religion are evaluated from a single perspective, and no distinction has been made between theoretical and practical religious propositions; whereas rationality in each of these two parts may possess a different meaning.
Creedal or theoretical propositions, which form the fundamental bases of religion, are considered among real perceptions since they provide news about self-evident realities such as the Origin, the Resurrection, the truth of human nature, and its destiny.
3- Rationality of Real Propositions As previously mentioned, the theoretical part of religion, or theology, belongs to the real perceptions that are revealing of reality; the proposition "God exists and is characterized by all attributes of beauty and majesty, and is pure and free from any kind of deficiency and limitation," provides news of an external reality and therefore possesses the capacity to be characterized by truth or falsehood.
In our belief, the precise distinction of perceptions into real (haqiqi) and conventional (i'tibari) by Allameh Tabataba'i has a significant impact on understanding the theoretical and practical propositions of religion has played, and it will better explain the meaning of rationality for each of these two domains.
