Abstract
Religious language is one of the important issues in religious philosophy. This knowledge deals with discussion of description and explaining of kalam proposition due to the importance of discussion of meaning and pivotal role of kalam proposition in explaining and truth of religious proposition. Dealing with truth and false of kalam proposition and then meaningful or meaningfulness and in the recent decades their cognitive or non-cognitive have been the problems of this knowledge.
Therefore, theories of religious language divide to two main cognitive and non-cognitive groups. Lingual theories such as symbolic, mysterious, mythical, meta-phorical and allegorical contain a part of non- cognitive group. Allameh Tabatabaie, the philosopher and famous commentator in Tashayo World, believes that structure of Quranic language is traditional- based; of course, it differs from traditional language. Since, mystery, metaphor, allegory and symbol have usages in traditional language for the better and faster understanding, God has also used some of these literary terms in
order to approximate mind from sensible to contemplative. However, the Quran language is cognitive and meaningful. He doesn’t accept language of myth anywhere in Quran and believe that it is in contradiction with truth of Quran and its aim.
