Abstract
Revelation is the basis of the formation of holy books and the basis of the structure of divine religions.
Some contemporary intellectuals, in an effort to find answers to the challenges of religious studies and religiosity in the face of new human achievements, have investigated the nature of the Qur'anic revelation and its relationship with God and the Prophet with an epistemological and hermeneutic approach.
One of their latest theories in this regard is visionary revelation.
The aim of the present research is to show by examining the evidences in the Testaments that the prophet's revelatory communication was not of the type of dreams and visions;
Because there are many evidences contradicting the foundations and accessories of this theory.
The current research has used the library method in collecting the materials and the descriptive-analytical method mixed with the critical comparative method in the data analysis.
It was found that according to this theory, revelation is a dream and a dream, and the Qur'an is a story of prophetic dreams, and this book needs an interpreter and not an interpreter.
The requirement of such a claim is that not only the Qur'an, but also the Torah and the Bible are the apostolic dreams of Moses and Jesus, and the revelation of all the prophets is a form of influence from their dreams.
In the end, it was concluded that the understanding of the intellectuals who believe in the visionary nature of revelation is seriously opposed to the certainty of the definition and nature of revelation based on the verses of the Bible and the Torah
