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.
