In this thesis, a translation accompanied by an analytical introduction, according to the text of “Kashf al-Haghayegh al-Muhammadiyyah”, is done. The translator explains the views of the above mentioned intellectuals, and then offers readers this delicate and graceful work. It is better to have a relative acquaintance with the views of Avicenna and other wise men such as Tusi, in order to obtain and understand more of this treatise. It is worth recalling that Ghias al-Din Mansour, the owner of “Kashf al-Haghayegh al-Muhammadiyya”, has paid attention to the opinions and thoughts of the Mohaghegh Tusi.  Ghias al-Din Mansour in this chapter (Chapter 5) brought in discussions such as the famous rule of “Kol Mojjarad Aghel” in his treatise and concluded that God is abstract and so wise. After this plan, Dashtaki enters into a dispute between the theologians and the philosophers, and considers the philosophers’ vote closer to the truth. Among other issues of importance in this thesis, the topic of divine science is its essence. He has proved his claim by explaining that God, the universe is in his essence and understands his essence.
