چکیده:
The Methodology of sciences can be considered among the characteristics of the new age and it can be claimed that scientific advancements are considerably indebted to meticulous attention to methods. Theology، like other sciences، is no exception to the rule and requires its own methodology. Research in the area of theology can be carried out using two historical and rational methods. In the present study which is conducted using the first method، we investigate the theological method of khajeh Nasir al-din Tusi for proving beliefs. Our approach in this research is descriptive-analytic and critical. The most important findings of the research on the theological method of khaje include his making use of discursive and dialectical method for defending and proving، turning away from analogical and symbolical method and using unabrogated verses and frequently narrated traditions.

In the general background of research regarding some sub-issues of theological methodology, such as the position of reason in Kalam and also the authority of solitary reports (khabar al-wahid) in the domain of beliefs, profound and extensive studies have been conducted since ancient times; however, these investigations are scattered throughout theological and principles (usuli) books.
If we were to bring the evidences in this field one by one, the discourse would be lengthy; and since, firstly, this matter is almost clear to researchers and we see no dispute in this regard, and secondly, research at the level of a thesis titled "The Role of Philosophy in the Theological Thoughts of Khwaja Nasir al-Din al-Tusi" has been conducted, we therefore opt for brevity and suffice with mentioning two pieces of evidence: Khwaja has numerous works regarding the proof of God. Some of them have been written independently on this subject, such as Risala Ithbat al-Wahid al-Awwal and Risala Burhan fi Ithbat al-Wajib, while others have addressed this important creedal principle within the context of other beliefs, such as the books Tajrid al-I'tiqad (Tusi, 1407 AH, p.
Another piece of evidence, in addition to Muhaqqiq Tusi's proofs in establishing the Essence and the attributes of the Essence, is that in a treatise he has on the types of wisdom, he essentially considers the discussion of proving the Necessary Being and His attributes as part of the fundamental issues of divine wisdom, and considers the discussion of the quality of revelation and the necessity of the spiritual resurrection as branches of it that must be resolved and settled using the demonstrative method (Tusi, 1405 AH - A, pp.
