In a rational philosophy affiliated with the classical tradition - such as Avicenna's philosophy, which considers the subject of philosophy to be existent insofar as it exists and introduces the problems of philosophy as inherent accidents of this subject - the first question is that every new philosophical problem must be one of the inherent accidents of absolute existent or existent as existent. Thus, a logical status must be found for the philosophy of religion and any other co-relation philosophy in the system of absolute existence. The most important feature of Avicenna's philosophy of religion is the rationality of religion and its complete harmony with the a priori principles of theoretical intellect, which at the same time contains the spirit of the theory of the mystical perfect man.
Kant believes that true religion is one religion, but there are very different religious beliefs. It is therefore more appropriate to say that such and such a person is a follower of Judaism or Islam or Christianity, Catholic or Lutheran, than describing him as a follower of this or that religion. For Kant, as he himself describes, religions are like rings that are only replicas of the true ring. For him, the most effective way in which the church can transmit and promote pure religion is through the Holy Scripture, because the Holy Scripture is highly respected even by those who have not read it. Accordingly, there must be at least a small group of scholars or expert priests to explain the moral meaning of the sacred texts and the historical rites of the church to its members and to defend the church against its enemies. In the present research, the authors compare and contrast the approaches of Avicenna and Kant regarding the nature of religion through a comparative-analytical study.
