Nowadays, the discussion of religion territory is one of the important and challenging debates in the Islamic world. Sayyid Aḥmad Khān Hindī has been the first thinker who followed his contemporary orientalists in talking about the boundaries of the Quran and sunna territory. The viewpoints that Sayyid Aḥmad Khān has provided in defining the boundaries of the Quran and sunna territory can be examined and evaluated in four directions, namely, sunna is the spirit of the divine message and its interpretation, and is similar to the Bible in this regard, sunna is mainly measured by intellect, and the otherworldly matters comprise the only arena of sunna revelation. However, there are some important criticisms against his viewpoints. First, he likens the sunna revelation to the Bible revelation, while there exist important differences between the two. Second, his consideration of the details of the sunna revelation as stemming from exegesis arises from Sayyid Aḥmad Khān’s viewpoint on the nature of revelation and his attribution of a human source to it. Third, adopting a strategic viewpoint to the qur’ānic verses leads us to the point that the human is created by God, and his will existentially and legally depends on His will; therefore, despite having the grace of intellect, he faces limitations in all paths of knowledge. Fourth, his viewpoint on revelation is similar to the Christian thinkers’ stance in this regard, and this viewpoint does not agree with the infallibility of the prophets.

In discussing the division of revelation, Sadr al-Mutallahin divides education into three types of human education, angelic education, and divine education. According to Allameh, "divine revelation" is presented in three ways: "revelation", "speech from behind the veil" and "speech delivered by Maliki". But the truth of it is a meaning and concept, and that Gabriel feels it, brings it to the earth with him, and places it in the Prophet's soul. One of the goals of this article is to express the characteristics of revelation perception according to these two wise sages, which is presented with a descriptive-analytical method in the form of library research. From the results of this discussion, in the opinion of Sadr al-Mutalahin, what was revealed to the heart of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) are the facts of the Qur'an; not its words or writing; therefore, the prophet's heart has been given the light of reason, because of that light, the truths of things are clear and illuminating in it. According to his belief, what is in the issue of revelation is the intuitive understanding of an event or a mystical truth, which cannot be realized except by the ascension of the soul to the source of revelation. Allameh Tabataba'i also believes that revelation is a hidden word and understanding is through hints. He considers it a human perception and a mysterious consciousness that is beyond reason and sense and with the support of the unseen; therefore, it has a divine origin and was given to the Prophet by breaking the habit.
