One of the important issues of the field of religious studies in contemporary times is the ability to understanding the language of religion. those who belive that this language is understandable, they are against each other that this is the common sense(all being intelligible) or the mysterious and symbolic.Mulla Sadra has paid attention to the exegesis of the Qur'an, therefore he has paid attention to some kind of language of religion. He considers ontology the only existence as genuine, in the sense that he sees only the existence of reality.In addition, he believes in Gradation of being, that is, existence is a unic fact and with intensity and weakness.He emphasizes the dignity of knowledge in the language of religion.Because he considers the Qur'an to be far-reaching, he supposes the external language of the Qur'an as a symbol of their inner meanings, and because of the mysterious nature of the Quranic verses and the words of the elders of religion, they give them appearance ,inwardness, exegesis and interpretation.And believes that anything in addition to appearance has an esoteric, so that the appearance and the inner one are twice as many as an object.In his view, there are no fundamental contradictions between the inner meanings of the apparent meaning and therefore the interpretation which appears to contradict it, interprets the vote (without foundation).He also believes that the purpose of the "Truth"is a unit that can be obtained through three ways of revelation (Quran)and rational analyzes (proofs) and refinement of the soul (mysticism).

Virtue ethics is one of the normative ethical theories that, unlike deontological theory or utilitarianism, emphasizes on virtuousness. Ibn Miskawayh’s virtue ethics is influenced by Aristotle, and Michael Slot is influenced by Hume's views. A comparison between these two theories reveals the similarities and differences of their different readings of virtue. The role of Happiness in virtue ethics is one of the differences. In explaining virtue ethics Ibn Miskawayh emphasizes happiness while Slote rejects it. While rationalism has a fundamental place in the theory of Ibn Miskawayh, there is no such a place for it in the emotivist view of Slot. Altogether, Ibn Miskawayh’s theory is more coherent and logical due to its emphasis on happiness and rationality. Slote's emphasis on emotivism is one of the weak points of his theory which has false consequences.

Abstract
Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi is the founder of philosophical illumination school (The Wisdom of Ishrāq). For Suhrawardi, reasoning (using rational arguments) is not sufficient to obtain truth and undertaking an esoteric way is essential to seek wisdom. He says that the content of philosophy is in complete harmony with religious texts and religious doctrines. Therefore, he refers so many times to Quranic verses and divine sayings and even sometimes (occasionally) in philosophical argumentation he prays to God. He has taken some of his invocations and prayers from Islamic sources and (infallible) Imams and he wrote some of them personally. He rejected the opinion of exclusivity of the names of God, and addresses God in accordance with his mystical dispositions and in his special philosophical terminology. In his prayers, Shayakh, does not ask something form God and they are sometimes just for praising Him. He also addressed wayfarers, prophet and his household, soul, perfect natures, Bahman, second intellect, angels, heaven of oblation, heaven Saturn, Jupiter, Mars in his prayers.
