Revelation is the fundamental source of Islamic teachings and it consists of two main areas; the Quran and al-Hadith. Both these sources describe the matters related to the teachings of Islam that consist of faith and syariah. The mind plays a role in understanding these two sources. There are explanations from the two sources that can be understood by the mind. In the meantime, there are also things that cannot be accepted by logic of the mind. This situation has caused conflict between revelation and the perception of common sense. The implication is that there are explanations of the revelation on matters of religion that are rejected by the mind. This is evidenced through the views of the Mutazilites, Jabariah, Qadariah, Shiites and others. This situation gives the impression as if the teachings of the revelation are contrary to the mind. Is it true that there is a conflict between revelation and the mind? Is it true that revelation is not compatible with the mind? This article explores the interaction between revelation and the mind. It also discusses the fundamentals of the method of interaction between revelation and the mind, if it occurs. Results have shown that in fact there is no conflict between revelation and the mind that could bring accusations against the weaknesses of the teachings of the revelation itself. The conflict that occurs is only from the external point of view without compromising the position of the glorious revelation. In addition, this article also presents methods to resolve potential future conflicts.
